CabsOn runs a premium chauffeur service across Manchester for clients who want more than a taxi. Executive Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series saloons with suited, professional drivers — booked by the hour or as a fixed-fare transfer. Business travel, airport VIP, executive client pickups, weddings, corporate hospitality at AO Arena and Co-op Live, and any occasion where the journey is part of the experience.

When a chauffeur is the right choice

A standard taxi gets you from A to B. A chauffeur changes the journey itself: a vehicle ready before you arrive, a driver in business attire who knows when to talk and when to leave you to your call, water and Wi-Fi onboard, and a price agreed in advance with no surge pricing. Common bookings:

  • Business travel — Manchester to airport, station-to-meeting, multi-stop client tours
  • Airport VIP transfers — Manchester Airport meet & greet at any terminal
  • Wedding chauffeur — bride and groom car, parents-of-the-bride, ribbons available
  • Corporate hospitality — AO Arena premier events, Etihad Stadium, Co-op Live concerts, Old Trafford
  • Executive client pickups — collecting visiting clients from MAN or Manchester Piccadilly
  • Hourly hire — full-day or half-day for multi-stop tours, conference shuttles, VIP itineraries

The fleet

Our chauffeur fleet is centred on the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series — UK industry-standard executive saloons that meet the expectations of a corporate and VIP clientele. For larger parties or family-of-four airport runs, we offer Executive People Carrier upgrades (Mercedes V-Class style) at a moderate uplift. Every vehicle is valeted before pickup and carries water and phone-charging cables as standard.

What you get with a CabsOn chauffeur

  • Suited driver — business attire, professional manner, brief if requested
  • Vehicle ready early — chauffeur on-site 10–15 minutes ahead of pickup time
  • Bottled water and Wi-Fi in vehicle as standard
  • Discretion — driver leaves you to phone calls, emails, or quiet
  • Flight tracking on inbound airport transfers, with meet and greet held inside the terminal
  • Fixed fare or hourly — fixed for transfers, hourly for multi-stop or open-ended use

Pricing — by the hour or by the journey

For straight A-to-B (e.g. business pickup to Manchester Airport) we quote a fixed fare upfront. For multi-stop days, conference shuttles, or VIP visits, we hire by the hour from £45/hour with a 2-hour minimum. Wedding-day chauffeur packages are quoted bespoke based on the schedule. Quote online for any combination.

Manchester Airport VIP meet and greet

Inbound airport pickups include flight tracking and a 60-minute free waiting allowance. Your chauffeur waits inside the terminal at the agreed meeting point with a name board (or branded if booked for corporate clients). For outbound, we recommend allowing 90 minutes from Manchester city centre for international departures.
