Liverpool John Lennon Airport taxi and transfers

Our fixed price is quoted live on this page before you book and does not change afterwards. At the rank, the airport's help centre, last updated on 9 July 2025, estimates £27 by day to Liverpool City Centre by taxi and says an airport toll is added to the fare, without saying how much. Uber self-reports an average of £25 for UberX from the airport to Liverpool over the past month, read on 17 October 2026, and says its averages are not fixed or guaranteed prices.

Yes. The airport's help centre lists these estimates for Liverpool City Centre by taxi: Sun 8am-Sun 9pm £27, Sun 9pm-Mon 6am £31, Mon 6am-Thurs 9pm £27, Fri 6am-Fri 7pm £27, Fri 7pm-Sat 7am £32, Sat 7am-Sat 7pm £27 and Sat 7pm-Sun 8am £32. The list gives no figure for Thursday 9pm to Friday 6am. It says all prices are an estimate and that an airport toll is added to the fare.

Yes. Black cabs wait at the rank directly outside the exit from the terminal, and the airport says cabs are available for all flight arrivals. The airport also says its rank drivers are carefully selected by the airport to work there.

Liverpool City Council. GOV.UK's council finder puts the airport's postcode, L24 1YD, in Liverpool City Council's area, and the council's hackney carriage rates of fare, operative from 31 March 2025, apply to journeys within the City of Liverpool with the taximeter engaged.

On the meter, at Liverpool City Council's rates. By day, for journeys beginning after 06:00 and ending before 21:00, the meter starts at £3.40 for the first 300 yards, then adds 20p for each further 165 yards and 20p for each 60 seconds of waiting. Higher rates apply at night, on Friday and Saturday nights, on Easter Sunday and bank holidays, and over Christmas and New Year. Tolls, airport tolls included, can be added on top, and the driver may not charge extra for paying by card.

In one of the airport's car parks. The airport says a pre-booked private hire car must pick you up in one of its car parks, and your driver tells you which one when you call. Contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email. Arrivals-hall meet and greet with a name board is available as a paid extra at checkout.

The airport's two pages disagree. Its taxi page says the rank cabs all accept credit cards as well as cash, while its help centre says card payments are available on cabs marked with 'Chip, Pin, Go' signage. Liverpool City Council prohibits any extra charge for paying by card.

Uber's own page publishes no fixed pick-up point. It says you get directions to the pick-up point in the app, and that pick-up locations may vary.

£2 for an adult single. Merseytravel caps adult single bus fares at £2 on every bus service in the Liverpool City Region, bought from the driver, and a return is two singles. Children under 5 travel free, and Merseytravel's MyTicket, a one-day bus ticket for young people aged 5 to 18, costs £2.20.

The two official sources disagree. The airport says Arriva's 500 runs up to every 15 minutes between 4am and midnight daily. Merseytravel's timetable lists it from the airport every 30 minutes between 03:59 and 23:59, taking 38 minutes to Liverpool ONE bus station. The airport's route table also lists a stop at Great Charlotte Street for Lime Street station.

No. The nearest is Liverpool South Parkway, which the airport puts about three miles away, linked by the 80A and 86A buses. You can buy a through ticket from anywhere on the rail network by booking to 'Liverpool Airport Bus' as the destination.

National Rail's journey planner, read on 7 October 2026 for Wednesday 21 October 2026, showed direct trains taking 10 to 16 minutes, with standard singles shown from £1.90 on some trains and from £4.00 or £4.50 on others. Merseytravel gives the 80A and 86A buses between the station and the airport 15 to 17 minutes, so allow for both legs.

No. The airport says National Express coaches do not pick up or drop off there, and that through tickets are available on Arriva buses via Liverpool ONE bus station.

For someone collecting you in their own car, the airport's Express Drop-off and Pick-up car park, directly opposite the terminal, charges £7.00 for up to 10 minutes, £10.00 for up to 20 minutes and £25.00 for up to 1 hour, paid on exit. Drop-off 2, a seven-minute walk away, is free for up to 20 minutes and then £9.00 up to 1 hour.

We track your flight and move the pick-up time to match the new arrival, so book for the scheduled time rather than padding it. Your booking includes 60 minutes free waiting after your flight lands, so a slow bag drop or a long queue does not cost you the car.

When you are travelling alone with hand luggage to a stop on the 500 route, such as Liverpool ONE bus station: at £2 for an adult single, the bus costs far less than any car. Pre-book for what the fare includes rather than for the price: flight tracking that moves your pick-up time, a price fixed when you book, door to door, and a larger vehicle when there are more of you.

Cancellations made more than 24 hours before your scheduled pick-up are free. Cancellations inside 24 hours are charged in full.
