Private transport for sports teams, clubs and squads travelling from Liverpool and Merseyside — airport transfers, away fixtures, tournaments and training camps.
Sports teams and clubs from across Liverpool, Merseyside and West Lancashire regularly require private transport for airport transfers, away fixtures, tournaments, training camps and end-of-season trips. Atlantic Prestige Travel provides professional group transport for teams of all sizes and sports.
Types of sports team travel
Airport transfers for overseas tournaments and training camps: Football academies, rugby clubs, cricket teams and other sports clubs regularly travel overseas for pre-season training camps, tournaments and tours. A pre-booked minibus or coach transfer from the club's home ground or a central meeting point to Liverpool or Manchester Airport keeps the squad together and ensures everyone arrives at the airport at the same time.
Away fixture travel: For clubs travelling to away fixtures across England and Wales, a pre-booked minibus or coach provides a comfortable, direct journey from the club's home ground to the away venue. This is particularly useful for clubs travelling to distant away fixtures where the journey time is significant.
Tournament travel: For teams travelling to multi-day tournaments — football tournaments, rugby sevens, cricket festivals — a pre-booked vehicle provides transport between the accommodation, the tournament venue and the airport.
Training camp transport: For teams attending residential training camps, a pre-booked vehicle provides transport from the club's home ground to the training camp venue and back.

Luggage and equipment

Booking tips for sports teams
Book early. Popular departure dates — Friday evenings, Saturday mornings — book up quickly. Book as soon as the travel dates are confirmed.
Confirm the squad size accurately. Include all players, coaches and support staff when requesting a quote.
Allow extra time for kit loading. Sports teams with large amounts of kit take longer to load than standard passengers. Allow an extra 15–20 minutes in your departure plan.
Agree a single pickup point. For teams travelling from different addresses, agree a central meeting point — typically the club's home ground — to simplify the logistics.
