Liverpool John Lennon Airport to Hillsborough Stadium taxi and Hillsborough Stadium to Liverpool John Lennon Airport after the event, fixed fare from £179 each way

Liverpool John Lennon Airport to Hillsborough Stadium and back: fixed fares

The Liverpool John Lennon Airport to Hillsborough Stadium journey is regular event work for us, day and night. A saloon from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to Hillsborough Stadium is a fixed fare from £179 each way, about 64 miles and 1.6-2.3 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £322, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after Sheffield Wednesday match days. An 8-seater for a group is from £260, executive cars on request.

Fares are per car, agreed at booking, and include tolls and any London charges where they apply. No meter, no surge, the same price after the last encore.

Pick-up in Liverpool John Lennon Airport, drop-off at Hillsborough Stadium

Pick-up is in the arrivals hall at Liverpool John Lennon Airport: the driver holds a name board, the flight is tracked and 45 minutes of waiting is included, so you go from the gate to Hillsborough Stadium without a queue for the rank. At Hillsborough Stadium we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for Sheffield Wednesday match days when the roads around the venue are closed.

At 64 miles this is a 1.6-2.3 hrs drive in normal conditions. Event-day queues are the driver’s problem, not yours: the fare is fixed either way.

Hillsborough Stadium to Liverpool John Lennon Airport: the journey home

Hillsborough Stadium to Liverpool John Lennon Airport 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 Sheffield Wednesday match days, however late it runs; for a flight home we time the departure from the venue around your check-in, and the driver drops you at the terminal door. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.

Event days at Hillsborough Stadium

For Sheffield Wednesday 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 Liverpool John Lennon Airport 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.
