Match-day taxi service

Old Trafford match days are predictable in their unpredictability, pickup zones change, road closures appear, and on-demand cabs are rare. Pre-booking with CabsOn locks in a fixed fare and a guaranteed pickup point. We coordinate post-match pickups around the official road closures and recommend pickup zones a short walk from the stadium for fastest exit.

Manchester Airport from Trafford

Trafford is one of the closest catchments to Manchester Airport. From Altrincham (WA14), a fixed-fare airport taxi is typically 15–25 minutes. From Sale and Old Trafford, expect 20–30 minutes. The fixed fare includes the airport drop-off charge so there are no add-ons at the terminal.

When pre-booking matters most in Trafford

Match days at Old Trafford, concert nights at the Trafford Centre, and Saturday afternoons during Christmas shopping are the moments when on-demand availability collapses and surge pricing peaks. Pre-booking 6–24 hours ahead avoids both problems.

Licensed drivers Greater Manchester or TfL Private Hire (PHV) licensing on every booking
DBS-checked Background-checked drivers with airport access permits
ULEZ & Clean Air ready Modern fleet meeting London ULEZ and Greater Manchester Clean Air Zone standards
