Tour operators, travel agents and destination management companies use CabsOn business accounts to book transfers for travellers arriving in the UK — airport to hotel, hotel to station, and cars with a driver by the hour. Every journey is pre-booked at a fixed fare and billed to your account.

What you can book

  • Airport transfers at Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City, Manchester, Birmingham and other UK airports, with flight tracking and the first 60 minutes after landing free;
  • meet & greet with a name board in arrivals;
  • city and inter-city journeys at fixed fares — for example London to Manchester or to the Southampton cruise terminals;
  • hourly hire with a driver, minimum 3 hours.

Vehicles range from Saloon to Executive People Carrier, 8 Seater Minibus and Mercedes S-Class Chauffeur. Child seats are £20 each.

Booking

Book in the business portal with each traveller's name and mobile number, at least 3 hours before pickup. If you'd rather book from your own reservation system, the portal can issue API keys to create bookings and check their status.

Paying

Fares are fixed before you book. Pay by card per booking, or on account billing with one weekly or monthly invoice. CabsOn is not VAT-registered, so no VAT is added. Accounts with regular routes can agree contracted prices.

What you can book for Manchester

Saloon

  • Up to 4 passengers
  • 2 standard suitcases
  • Most economical option

Default choice for solo travel, couples and pairs heading to the airport. Ford Mondeo, VW Passat or similar.

Estate

  • Up to 4 passengers
  • 4 suitcases
  • Family-friendly

Choose this when bags outnumber people. A standard family of four with full check-in luggage fits cleanly in an estate where a saloon would not.

8 Seater Minibus

  • Up to 8 passengers
  • 6 suitcases capacity
  • Volkswagen Transporter or similar

Single-vehicle transport for groups of up to 8. Common on hen and stag bookings, sports teams, family airport runs and corporate group transfers.

Chauffeur

  • Mercedes S-Class
  • Suited driver
  • VIP and wedding work

Flagship class for VIP travel, weddings, premium events and corporate visiting directors. Hourly hire from 3 hours minimum or fixed-route.

Every booking includes

What is in the fixed fare

Flight tracking on every airport pickup

Pickup time auto-adjusts to actual landing. No driver-side panic if your flight runs late.

60 minutes free waiting on arrivals

Counted from when your flight actually lands, with airport parking included. Plenty of buffer for immigration, baggage claim and customs. After that, waiting is £9 per 15 minutes in a saloon.

Drop-off charge included

The airport drop-off fee is included in the quote, not added at the kerb. So is any congestion or road charge on your route.

Optional meet and greet

Driver waits at the terminal arrivals exit with a name board. Add it when you book; the price is shown in your quote.

Card or corporate invoice

Pay securely by card when you book. Corporate accounts get monthly invoicing with PO numbers and itemised receipts.

Child and booster seats

£20 per seat, fitted before pickup. Confirm the seat type at booking so we match the right vehicle.
