Manchester Airport to Glastonbury Festival taxi and Glastonbury Festival to Manchester Airport after the event, fixed fare from £412 each way

Manchester Airport to Glastonbury Festival and back: fixed fares

The Manchester Airport to Glastonbury Festival journey is regular event work for us, day and night. A saloon from Manchester Airport to Glastonbury Festival is a fixed fare from £412 each way, about 175 miles and 4.1-5.8 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £742, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after the festival at Worthy Farm. An 8-seater for a group is from £597, 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 Manchester Airport, drop-off at Glastonbury Festival

Pick-up is in the arrivals hall at Manchester 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 Glastonbury Festival without a queue for the rank. At Glastonbury Festival we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for the festival at Worthy Farm when the roads around the venue are closed.

Allow 4.1-5.8 hrs for the 175-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.

Glastonbury Festival to Manchester Airport: the journey home

Glastonbury Festival to Manchester 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 the festival at Worthy Farm, 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 Glastonbury Festival

For the festival at Worthy Farm 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 Manchester 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.
