Manchester Airport to Silverstone Circuit taxi and Silverstone Circuit to Manchester Airport after the event, fixed fare from £293 each way

Manchester Airport to Silverstone Circuit and back: fixed fares

The Manchester Airport to Silverstone Circuit journey is regular event work for us, day and night. A saloon from Manchester Airport to Silverstone Circuit is a fixed fare from £293 each way, about 118 miles and 2.8-4.0 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £527, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after the British Grand Prix and race weekends. An 8-seater for a group is from £425, 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 Silverstone Circuit

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 Silverstone Circuit without a queue for the rank. At Silverstone Circuit we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for the British Grand Prix and race weekends when the roads around the venue are closed.

The drive is about 118 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.

Silverstone Circuit to Manchester Airport: the journey home

Silverstone Circuit 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 British Grand Prix and race weekends, 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 Silverstone Circuit

For the British Grand Prix and race weekends 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.
