Route shown is a guide; your driver chooses the best route on the day around live traffic.
Route: there are two main options: across the Pennines on the A628 Woodhead Pass and then the M1 and A630, or the motorway route on the M62 and M18. Your driver chooses the best one on the day around traffic and weather.
Winter conditions: the Woodhead Pass can be affected by snow, fog or closures in winter. When it is, your driver uses the motorway route and your fare stays as quoted.
Race days: Doncaster Racecourse brings extra traffic on big race days, especially around the St Leger meeting in September. Tell us if you are heading there.

Train passengers from Manchester Airport need to change on the way to Doncaster and then still get from the station to their address. A pre-booked taxi takes you door to door in one vehicle.
