Travel notes
Good to know about Alder Hey to Manchester.
Timing
The 32-mile run typically takes 1h–1h 20. Your driver watches live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual flight.
Worth knowing
Families staying at the on-site accommodation often need station runs at odd hours — 24/7 means exactly that here.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
Private-patient entrances
The private wing usually has its own discreet entrance, away from the main A&E doors — our drivers know which, and set down there rather than the busiest kerb.
The Alder Hey–Manchester transfer
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. The park-side drop-off leads to the main atrium — our drivers arrive with the car seats fitted and the questions unasked. At Manchester Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 32-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 1h–1h 20 for the 32 miles, with 60 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
