What is included

The journey

Ten minutes away, the closest town to the airport. A short transfer, mostly for people staying the night before an early flight or visiting the Lough Neagh shore.

Arriving at Belfast International Airport

Belfast International is the larger of the two Northern Irish airports, eighteen miles north-west of the city near Antrim. It takes most of the long-haul and low-cost traffic, and it is the usual arrival for visitors driving the Causeway Coast or crossing the border to Dublin.

How long it really takes

Maps says 12 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, 42 to 87 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.
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

Two airports, thirty kilometres apartBelfast has two, and their names are easy to confuse. International is near Antrim; City is beside the docks. A transfer booked to the wrong one costs an hour.
Across the border without stoppingDublin, Newry and Dundalk are common destinations from here. The border is open and unmarked; the price is fixed in one currency and includes the whole journey.

FAQ

How long does it take to get from Belfast International Airport to Antrim?

About 12 minutes for the 8 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.

How much is a transfer from Belfast International Airport to Antrim?

From £67 for up to four passengers, and £97 for a group of five to eight in a van. The price is fixed when you book — tolls and taxes included, nothing added at the end.

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 International 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.

Can I cancel?

Free up to 24 hours before pick-up, refunded in full and automatically. On many routes you can also book without paying and we only charge the card 48 hours before you travel.
