Before you travel
Good to know about Co-op Live.
Getting dropped off
The arena shares the Etihad Campus loop — drop-off runs from Alan Turing Way with the entrance plaza two minutes’ walk.
Worth knowing
When Co-op Live and the Etihad both host events, east Manchester gridlocks — we check both calendars before quoting a pickup time.
Twenty thousand at once
Everyone wants transport the instant the lights come up. A pre-staged chauffeur is the only version of the evening that ends quickly.
After the show
Twenty thousand people want transport at once; a pre-staged chauffeur is the only version of the night that ends quickly.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
Co-op Live, without the transport question
A chauffeur to Co-op Live — the UK’s biggest indoor arena, beside the Etihad on Manchester’s east side. The pattern is the one P5 applies everywhere: a fixed fare agreed before you travel, a driver briefed on this venue specifically, and a return that is planned rather than improvised at the kerb.
The arena shares the Etihad Campus loop — drop-off runs from Alan Turing Way with the entrance plaza two minutes’ walk. When Co-op Live and the Etihad both host events, east Manchester gridlocks — we check both calendars before quoting a pickup time.
From Manchester Airport, allow 20–30 min on a typical day — your driver plans around live traffic and the venue’s own calendar. Vehicles run from an everyday saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.

How much is a chauffeur to Co-op Live?
From £52 for a saloon from Manchester Airport — fixed when you book, with every toll and charge inside the price. Any other pickup point is quoted the same way, up front.
Where will the car drop us at Co-op Live?
The arena shares the Etihad Campus loop — drop-off runs from Alan Turing Way with the entrance plaza two minutes’ walk.
What if the show at Co-op Live runs late?
We track running times on the night and the driver adjusts automatically. You will never exit to find the car gone — waiting on event pickups is generous by design.
Can you take a group?
Yes — executive MPVs seat up to seven and vans up to 8, all priced up front. Groups sharing one vehicle usually pay less per head than separate app cars.
Is the return journey guaranteed?
Yes. The pickup point and time are agreed in advance, the driver tracks the day as it actually unfolds, and waiting on event and appointment bookings is deliberately flexible.
How far ahead should we book?
For ordinary days, 24 hours is comfortable. For major dates at Co-op Live — finals, festivals, opening weekends — book as soon as you hold tickets; those days sell our fleet out too.
