Manchester → Chester: key facts

Getting from Manchester Airport (MAN) to Chester takes about 45 min by car on an empty road (45–55 min in heavy traffic) over 53 km via M56. Our private transfer costs €150 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €210 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal where your flight lands (Terminal 1, 2 or 3), after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, with a sign showing your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Chester is a Roman walled city on the River Dee near the Welsh border, known for its medieval Rows, the complete city walls and its racecourse. The drive from the airport heads south-west through Cheshire on a relatively direct route. The city centre inside the walls is partly pedestrian, and streets around Eastgate and the cathedral are restricted, so the driver stops at the nearest permitted road. Race days increase traffic noticeably.

Chester's centre is built around the Cross, where four main streets meet, lined by the Rows, a two-level medieval shopping gallery. The cathedral is on the east side and the Roman amphitheatre lies just outside the walls. The Eastgate Clock is a landmark, and the Dee riverside has boat trips and a promenade. Hotels are inside the walls and along the river. In winter the Christmas markets and in summer the racecourse events bring crowds.
