Which vehicle for Cardiff to Etihad Stadium?
Most passengers on this route book a saloon; families and groups with luggage take the 7-seater MPV taxi; for business travel the executive chauffeur car (Mercedes E-Class, from £478) or a Mercedes S-Class chauffeur on request; for seven or eight passengers an 8-seater taxi (from £650) or 9-seater minibus (from £683). Every vehicle on the Cardiff to Etihad Stadium run is TfL-licensed private hire — a pre-booked minicab with a fixed fare, not a metered cab. See the vehicle size guide for luggage capacity.
Pick-up in Cardiff, drop-off at Etihad Stadium
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 Etihad Stadium we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for Manchester City match days when the roads around the venue are closed.
Allow 3.9-5.5 hrs for the 166-mile drive, more on the day of a big fixture. For a fixed start time we build in a buffer and confirm the pick-up time with you.
Etihad Stadium to Cardiff: the journey home
Etihad Stadium 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 Manchester City match days, 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.
What does a taxi from Etihad Stadium to Cardiff cost?
A saloon from Etihad Stadium to Cardiff is a fixed £392, the same as the fare, for about 166 miles. Booked together, both legs cost £706.
Event days at Etihad Stadium
For Manchester City match days 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.
