Pick-up in Stansted Airport, drop-off at Etihad Stadium
Pick-up is in the arrivals hall at Stansted 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 Etihad Stadium without a queue for the rank. 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.
At 173 miles this is a 4.0-5.7 hrs drive in normal conditions. Event-day queues are the driver’s problem, not yours: the fare is fixed either way.
Etihad Stadium to Stansted Airport: the journey home
Etihad Stadium to Stansted 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 Manchester City 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 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 Stansted 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.
