Meet and Greet Airport Transfers: What to Expect

A meet and greet airport transfer is one of the most reassuring ways to arrive at an airport — particularly after a long flight, when travelling with children, or when visiting the UK for the first time. Rather than searching for a driver outside the terminal or navigating to a pick-up zone, you are met by your driver in the arrivals hall, often with a name board, and escorted directly to the vehicle.

What is a meet and greet transfer?

A meet and greet transfer means your driver enters the terminal and waits for you in the arrivals area — typically at the arrivals gate or in the arrivals hall — rather than waiting in a car park or drop-off zone outside.

When you clear customs and immigration and walk through the arrivals doors, your driver is there to meet you. You do not need to find a phone signal, navigate to a pick-up point or wait outside in the elements. Your driver takes your luggage and escorts you directly to the vehicle.

Why choose meet and greet?

After a long flight: After a long-haul flight from the US, Middle East, Asia or elsewhere, the last thing you want is to navigate a busy airport car park or wait outside in the cold. A meet and greet transfer means you are in the vehicle and on your way home within minutes of clearing arrivals.

Travelling with children: Managing children, pushchairs and luggage through a busy airport is challenging enough. A driver waiting in arrivals to take the luggage and guide you to the vehicle makes the process significantly easier.

First-time visitors to the UK: For international visitors arriving at Liverpool or Manchester Airport for the first time, a meet and greet transfer provides a reassuring and professional welcome. Your driver can also provide local information and guidance.

Business travel: For corporate clients and business guests, a meet and greet transfer presents a professional image and ensures the arrival experience matches the standard of the rest of the journey.

Elderly passengers or those with reduced mobility: A driver waiting in arrivals to assist with luggage and guide passengers to the vehicle is particularly valuable for those who find navigating a busy airport challenging.

How meet and greet works at Liverpool Airport

Liverpool John Lennon Airport is a compact, single-terminal airport. The arrivals hall is easily accessible, and your driver will be waiting at the agreed meeting point when you clear customs. Your driver monitors your incoming flight, so if it is delayed, the collection time is adjusted accordingly.

How meet and greet works at Manchester Airport

Manchester Airport has three terminals, and the arrivals areas vary between them. Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall of your specific terminal. Confirm your terminal when booking so the correct meeting point can be arranged.
