The fixed-price model means your driver can choose different routes if traffic is heavy, and you do not have to worry about the fare increasing. This differs from metered taxis, where time spent in traffic increases your bill for Manchester Airport Transfers.

There are several vehicle sizes to fit your group and luggage needs for trips to any Manchester Airport terminal. The best option depends on how many people are travelling and what you need to bring.

Choosing the right vehicle:

Count your passengers and consider comfort for a 40-minute motorway journey
Estimate your luggage: large check-in suitcases, hand luggage, and any extras
Factor in child seats if travelling with young children
Consider bulky items like ski bags, golf clubs, or pushchairs
If you are unsure, choose a larger vehicle. It is better to have extra space than to travel uncomfortably just to save a little money.

Below, we explain each vehicle type, including their capacities, example models, and typical fares for the Rossendale-Manchester journey.

Each vehicle category below includes example models, passenger and luggage capacity, and typical fares for the Manchester airport journey.

Saloon Car

Standard saloon cars are available for everyday airport transfers. Typical models include the Hyundai IONIQ, Ford Mondeo, Skoda Octavia, Toyota Avensis, and VW Passat—all offering comfortable seating and adequate boot space for light to medium luggage.

Saloon car specifications:

Capacity: up to 4 passengers
Luggage: approximately 2 full-size suitcases and 2 hand luggage items
Ideal for: couples, solo travellers, or small families with light packing
Example fare: Rawtenstall to Manchester Airport (36 miles) from £75
Journey time: 35–45 minutes, depending on traffic

If you have extra luggage such as small pushchairs, large suitcases, or musical instruments, it is best to upgrade to an estate car or people carrier. The boot of a saloon car fills up quickly, especially with winter clothes or holiday gear.

The estate car option provides significantly more boot space while maintaining the handling and comfort of a standard saloon. Models like the Ford Mondeo Estate and Skoda Octavia Estate are popular choices for Rossendale to Manchester Airport runs.

Estate car specifications:

Capacity: 4 passengers
Luggage: approximately 3 large check-in suitcases and 3 hand luggage items
Ideal for: families with prams, long-haul holiday travellers, bulky cases
Example fare: central Rossendale to Manchester Airport from £85
Journey time: similar to saloon (35–45 minutes)

This upgrade is best for families or anyone bringing more than just the basics. The extra space keeps bags secure and prevents passengers from having to share legroom with luggage. On the motorway, properly stored bags are important for both safety and comfort.

7-Seater Minibus

For larger parties, a 7-seater minibus provides the most practical and cost-effective solution. Common models include the Mercedes Vito, VW Transporter, and Ford Tourneo Custom—all designed for passenger comfort over longer journeys.

7-seater minibus specifications:

Capacity: up to 7 passengers
Luggage: approximately 6 full-size suitcases and 6 hand luggage items
Ideal for: stag/hen parties, family holidays, sports teams, corporate groups
Example fare: Rossendale to Manchester Airport from £120 (full vehicle, not per person)
Journey time: 40–55 minutes, depending on pickup location

A minibus is ideal for business groups going to conferences, sports teams with equipment, or large families travelling together for weddings or reunions.

Cost comparison for groups:

If 5 to 7 people share a minibus at £120, each person pays about £18 to £24. This is much cheaper than public transport and far more convenient than making several separate bookings.

Executive Cars and Chauffeur Options

For premium Rossendale to Manchester Airport transfers, executive cars offer a step up in comfort, image, and amenities. Typical executive vehicles include the Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series or 7 Series, and the Mercedes V-Class for larger executive groups.

Executive car options:

Mercedes E-Class / BMW 5 Series: up to 4 passengers, 2 suitcases + 2 hand luggage
Mercedes V-Class: up to 7 passengers, 6 suitcases + 6 hand luggage
Added features: leather interiors, climate control, complimentary bottled water, Wi-Fi, USB charging
Best for: business travellers, VIP guests, special occasions, client pickups
