How much time should I allow for a taxi from Northwich to Manchester Airport?
The journey is around 20 miles and usually takes 30 to 40 minutes via the A556 and M56, but allow extra time for rush hour and roadworks. Most travellers book a pickup that lands them at the terminal two to three hours before departure. Prestige Taxi Crewe confirms a fixed fare and pickup time when you book.
