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 Woodhead Pass (A628) or the Snake Pass (A57), or the longer motorway route on the M62 and M1. Your driver chooses the best one on the day around traffic, roadworks and weather.
Winter conditions: the hill roads into Sheffield can be affected by snow, fog and closures in winter. When that happens your driver takes the motorway route instead, and your fare stays as quoted.
Busy periods: traffic builds on the approach roads into Sheffield at weekday rush hours and on match days at Bramall Lane and Hillsborough. Allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment.

Rail passengers from Manchester Airport usually need to change trains to reach Sheffield, and then still get from the station to their final address. A pre-booked taxi does the whole journey in one vehicle.
