Serving Failsworth, OL9, and the surrounding areas of North-East Manchester and Oldham.
Get Instant QuoteGetting a reliable taxi in Failsworth shouldn't feel like a lottery. Yet for too many residents, it does — unreliable pickups, fare disputes at the end of the journey, and drivers who don't know the area.
Airport Trips is different. We cover Failsworth and the OL9 postcode with a service built around one thing: doing exactly what we promised when you booked. Fixed fare, right driver, right time. Every time.
Failsworth occupies a unique geographic position that makes taxi choice genuinely important. It straddles the boundary between the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham and the City of Manchester — sitting along the A62 Oldham Road corridor, roughly 4 miles north-east of Manchester city centre and 3 miles south of Oldham town centre.
The Metrolink tram line passes through Failsworth with stops at Failsworth and Hollinwood, offering reasonable public transport into the city. But for airport runs, hospital transfers, night journeys, and door-to-door convenience, a private hire taxi remains the only option that delivers from your front door to your destination without compromise.
Manchester Airport is one of the UK's busiest international gateways. For Failsworth residents, getting to the airport reliably and affordably is a recurring need. Here is how we deliver excellence:
We monitor your flight from the moment you book. If your departure is delayed, we adjust. If your inbound flight lands early, we're ready. You'll never arrive at an empty drop-off zone or wait alone at arrivals.
Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and Terminal 3 — we know the drop-off points, the car park layouts, and the fastest routes to each. Tell us your terminal when you book, and leave the rest to us.
Returning from a long-haul flight to a name board in arrivals is a different experience from hunting for a minicab outside in the rain. We provide a meet-and-greet as standard on all airport collections.
Book your departure and return transfer together. We'll hold your return fare at today's price, and your driver will be tracking your inbound flight before you've even boarded your outward journey.
Route & Timing: The fastest route runs south via the A62 into Manchester, connecting to the A57(M) Mancunian Way and then the M56 southbound to the airport. Journey time is typically 40–55 minutes (approx. 35 minutes in light early-morning traffic).
Failsworth's edge-of-city positioning means our experienced drivers seamlessly manage multi-directional routing across the entire region:
Failsworth borders Moston to the west, Newton Heath to the south-west, Hollinwood and Chadderton to the north, and Droylsden to the south-east. Our drivers cover routes in every direction: into the city, out to Oldham, east to Tameside, and south to the motorway network.
Regular scheduled pickups for commuters travelling into Manchester, NOMA, or Oldham. Set it up once and rely on it every single morning without fail.
