Worth knowing
Good to know about Co-op Live to Manchester.
Curtain-plus-ten
We track running times on the night, so the car is at the agreed point about ten minutes after the final encore — never gone, never early.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
Timing
The 11-mile run typically takes 20–30 min. Your driver watches live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual flight.
Worth knowing
When Co-op Live and the Etihad both host events, east Manchester gridlocks — we check both calendars before quoting a pickup time.
Co-op Live to Manchester Airport, planned properly
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. The arena shares the Etihad Campus loop — drop-off runs from Alan Turing Way with the entrance plaza two minutes’ walk. At Manchester Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 11-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 20–30 min for the 11 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.
