On the day
Dropped at the gate, collected after.
Wilmslow Road’s main entrance keeps a patient set-down bay — proton beam and outpatient wings have separate doors we know by name.
One car, any party size
A couple in a saloon or 8 in a van — the same booking, the same fixed price per journey.
Return staged, not hoped for
The pickup point and time are agreed before you go in — and adjusted live if the day runs long.
Gentle by default
Unhurried driving, help to the door, and waiting that flexes around clinics — medical journeys get our most patient standard.

Worth knowing
Good to know about The Christie.
Getting dropped off
Wilmslow Road’s main entrance keeps a patient set-down bay — proton beam and outpatient wings have separate doors we know by name.
Worth knowing
Radiotherapy runs daily for weeks — our repeat-journey arrangements with a consistent driver take one variable out of a hard month.
Discharge collections
Discharge times slip by hours; we hold the booking open and the driver comes to the ward door when you’re actually ready, with a hand to the car for anyone unsteady.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
Gentle, unhurried driving
Post-procedure journeys get our most patient standard — smooth driving, help at both doors, and a vehicle chosen for easy access rather than show.
Getting to The Christie, and away again
A chauffeur for The Christie — Europe’s largest single-site cancer centre, served with the patience the treatment calendar demands. 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 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 Christie?
From £47 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 Christie?
Wilmslow Road’s main entrance keeps a patient set-down bay — proton beam and outpatient wings have separate doors we know by name.
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.
Can you collect a patient being discharged from The Christie?
Yes, and it’s a frequent booking. We keep the pickup flexible because discharge rarely runs to schedule — the driver waits, comes to the door, and helps to the car at no extra charge.
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.
What if my appointment at The Christie 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.
“Always had great conversations with the drivers during the multiple trips I had with P5. I strongly recommend.”
