What is included

The journey

Half an hour south into Cheshire. Chester's Roman walls mean the centre is closed to most traffic, so the driver stops at the nearest gate — a short walk through, and much simpler than the train with two changes.

Arriving at Liverpool Airport

Liverpool John Lennon is a single terminal on the Mersey, eight miles from the city centre. It is small and quick to leave, and it serves Merseyside, Chester and north Wales — with Manchester's larger airport an hour away for the flights it does not have.

How long it really takes

Maps says 36 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, 66 to 111 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

Small terminal, quick exitOne hall, one door, and the city half an hour away. After a late flight this matters more than the size of the airport.
No train, and what that meansThe published bus journey looks fine until you add the walk at the other end. For a family arriving at eleven at night, a car at the door is a different kind of arrival.

FAQ

How long does it take to get from Liverpool Airport to Chester?

About 36 minutes for the 39 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 Liverpool Airport to Chester?

From £108 for up to four passengers, and £140 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 Liverpool 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.
