Pick-up in Cardiff, drop-off at AO Arena Manchester
Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Cardiff or the Cardiff towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. At AO Arena Manchester we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for arena concerts when the roads around the venue are closed.
The drive is about 166 miles; the driver checks closures and event-day traffic orders and picks the fastest route on the day, so the time above already allows for normal traffic.
AO Arena Manchester to Cardiff: the journey home
AO Arena Manchester to Cardiff is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. Book both legs together and the driver waits at the agreed meeting point at the end of arena concerts, however late it runs; the driver takes you back to your door in Cardiff. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.
How much is a taxi from AO Arena Manchester to Cardiff?

Event days at AO Arena Manchester
For arena concerts we plan around the venue, not the postcode: the drop-off point that is actually open, the corner we meet on afterwards, and a departure time that beats the car-park queue. An 8-seater takes the whole group from Cardiff for little more than two saloons, and a wait-and-return price keeps the same driver on site for the day. Late finishes are normal for us; the fare is the same at 1am.
