What is included

The journey

Four hours across Ireland to the Atlantic coast. A long transfer, usually for groups, with one fixed price for the whole car.

Arriving at Belfast City Airport

Belfast City Airport is three miles from the centre, beside the docks and the Titanic Quarter. It is small, quick and mostly used by business travellers and by flights from Great Britain — the sort of airport where the journey to the hotel can take longer to arrange than to make.

How long it really takes

Maps says 250 minutes. That is the driving. Door to door from the moment you land is a different number, and it is the one worth planning around.

Realistically, 280 to 325 minutes after landing. If someone is waiting for you, that is the number to give them.

When to book

Booking early costs the same as booking late — the price does not move. What moves is whether there is a car left.

A week aheadJuly, August, Fridays and Saturdays. The busiest arrivals of the year, and a long run like this one is the first to run out.
As soon as you have the flightGroups of five or more. Vans and minibuses go first, always.
Two or three daysLanding between 23:00 and 06:00. Fewer drivers are working.
The day before is fineEverything else. The same morning usually works too.

Cancellation is free until 24 hours before, so booking early costs you nothing if the plan changes.

Before you land

Ten minutes to the middle of BelfastFew airports in these islands are closer to the city they serve. The transfer is short, and its value is in not waiting: the driver is in arrivals when you land.
Business hours, business trafficMost arrivals here are on weekday mornings and evenings, and that is when the Sydenham bypass is slow. A fixed price does not change with the queue.

FAQ

About 250 minutes for the 313 km, outside peak traffic. Your driver knows the route and follows the flight, so a delayed landing moves the pick-up rather than costing you the transfer.

What happens if my flight is late?

We track the flight number you give us. The driver waits and adjusts to the actual landing time, with 60 minutes of free waiting after the plane touches down.

Where do I meet the driver at Belfast City Airport?

In the arrivals hall after you clear customs. The day before your trip we send you the driver's name, phone number and vehicle, and they contact you with the exact spot.
