Local knowledge
Good to know about The Etihad.
Getting dropped off
The Etihad Campus loop road manages matchday traffic in rings — our drivers hold the current plan and drop at the blue gate you name.
Worth knowing
Post-match, Joe Mercer Way funnels everyone to the same tram — a car staged on Ashton New Road empties the campus quicker.
Matchday roads
Event-day closures ring every big ground; our drivers hold the current traffic plan and stage where the stewards allow cars to actually move.
Hospitality timings
Corporate boxes and pre-match dining run to their own clock; we drop at the hospitality entrance and stage the return for the final whistle plus stoppage.
The exit, pre-solved
Event-day road closures ring every big ground. The pickup corner is agreed before kick-off, clear of the ring, so you walk eight minutes while the crowd queues forty.
Getting to The Etihad, and away again
A chauffeur to the Etihad — City’s campus in east Manchester, with the stadium tour running daily between fixtures. 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.

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.

From £49 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 The Etihad?
The Etihad Campus loop road manages matchday traffic in rings — our drivers hold the current plan and drop at the blue gate you name.
How does pickup work after an event at The Etihad?
You and the driver agree an exact corner outside the closure ring beforehand. At full time you walk to it while the car holds position — minutes, not the forty-minute rank.
How far ahead should we book?
For ordinary days, 24 hours is comfortable. For major dates at The Etihad — finals, festivals, opening weekends — book as soon as you hold tickets; those days sell our fleet out too.
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.
