Travel notes
Good to know about The Freeman.
Getting dropped off
Freeman Road’s main entrance keeps a drop-off loop — the cardiothoracic centre’s own door sits a hundred yards on, named when booked.
Worth knowing
Transplant families keep unpredictable hours by definition — our night desk holds the hospital run as a standing priority.
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.
Appointment days
Clinics overrun; our medical bookings carry flexible waiting and the driver checks in with you rather than the reverse.
The The Freeman run, planned properly
A chauffeur for the Freeman — Newcastle’s transplant pioneer, served for patients and visiting families across the North East. 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.
Freeman Road’s main entrance keeps a drop-off loop — the cardiothoracic centre’s own door sits a hundred yards on, named when booked. Transplant families keep unpredictable hours by definition — our night desk holds the hospital run as a standing priority.
From Newcastle Airport, allow 15–25 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 The Freeman?
From £47 for a saloon from Newcastle 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 Freeman?
Freeman Road’s main entrance keeps a drop-off loop — the cardiothoracic centre’s own door sits a hundred yards on, named when booked.
How far ahead should we book?
For ordinary days, 24 hours is comfortable. For major dates at The Freeman — finals, festivals, opening weekends — book as soon as you hold tickets; those days sell our fleet out too.
What if my appointment at The Freeman overruns?
Nothing happens — the driver waits. Medical bookings carry deliberately flexible waiting time, and the fare agreed at booking does not change with a slow clinic.
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.
Do you know the right entrance at The Freeman?
We do — private-patient and outpatient entrances are often separate from the main doors. Tell us the department and the driver sets down at the nearest, calmest point.
