Bangor & Belfast City Airport — outbound and return
We cover this coastal route in both directions with one fixed price. So whether you are heading out to catch a flight or coming home to Bangor, the cost is the same. It is agreed before you book. This is a popular route on our Belfast City Airport taxi service.
From your address to the terminal
First, your driver meets you right outside your home, hotel or office anywhere in Bangor. After that, the car follows the A2 coast road west along Belfast Lough, through Holywood. From there, it is a short run to the terminal at Sydenham. Above all, the price stays fixed even if the A2 is busy.
From the terminal back to Bangor
When you land, your driver tracks your flight and waits in the arrivals hall with a name board. So even if you are early or late, someone is there. Next, the car takes the A2 back along the lough shore to Bangor. Finally, you are dropped right at your door with no extra charge for waiting.

Taxi vs the train from Bangor
Bangor has a direct rail line into Belfast, but Belfast City Airport is not on it, so getting there by public transport means a train into the city and a change onto the Airport Express 600 or a local taxi. A fixed-price taxi takes you door to door instead, in one trip.
£ Fixed-price taxi
- Door to door, with no changes or connections on the way

- We track your flight, so a late landing is never a problem
- Runs 24/7, for the earliest and latest flights
- Room for big bags and golf clubs
Train & connecting bus
- Requires a change in Belfast city centre, adding time
- Priced per person, so a family adds up fast
- Belfast City Airport is not directly on the rail line
- Limited services early morning and late at night
- No help with luggage across the change
- Timetable dictates your journey, not your flight time
- Awkward with young children or heavy bags
Bangor to Belfast City Airport taxi FAQs
A pre-booked fixed-price taxi from Bangor to Belfast City Airport starts from £72 for a standard saloon. This covers the 11-mile trip along the A2 coast road. The same price applies to nearby Holywood and Groomsport, since the drive time is almost identical. The price is exactly the same in both directions.
The journey typically takes between 15 and 20 minutes. The A2 is usually clear outside rush hour, so around 15 minutes is normal. However, during weekday peaks, especially around Holywood, allow closer to 20 minutes.
Bangor is about 11 miles east of Belfast City Airport, travelling along the A2 coast road through Holywood. Belfast City Airport is the closest airport to Bangor by some distance, which is why so many local passengers use it.
Not directly. Belfast City Airport is not on the Bangor rail line. The usual route is the Airport Express 600 or a local taxi into Belfast city centre, then a train on to Bangor. For most travellers, especially with luggage or an early flight, a direct fixed-price taxi is faster and simpler.
Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall with a clear name board. Belfast City Airport has a single compact terminal, so there is only one place to look. Your driver also tracks your flight, so they will be waiting when you come through — even if your flight is delayed.
Yes. The fixed price is exactly the same in both directions. So a taxi from Belfast City Airport to Bangor costs the same as a taxi from Bangor to the airport. You can book one way or both legs at once.
Your fixed-price taxi between Bangor and Belfast City Airport
Bangor is Northern Ireland’s sixth city, a seaside town on the County Down coast known for its marina and Victorian seafront. Belfast City Airport is by far its closest airport. This short coastal run is one of the most booked routes on our whole network. Whether you fly for business or holiday, a smooth transfer matters.
To begin with, the trip covers about 11 miles, entirely along the A2 coast road through Holywood. However, traffic can build up at peak times, so journey times vary between 15 and 20 minutes. Because of this, your driver always plans the route with live conditions in mind.
Why pre-booking beats the train and bus
Belfast City Airport is not on the Bangor rail line. Getting there by public transport means a train into the city, then a change onto a bus or taxi. That works, but it takes well over an hour and is awkward with luggage. By contrast, our price is fixed when you book, and the car takes you door to door in around 15 minutes.
In addition, every booking includes meet and greet on the return leg. When you land, your driver waits in arrivals with a name board. As a result, the whole trip feels calm and simple from start to finish.
Travelling both ways
Many of our customers book the round trip in one go. First, we take you to the airport for your outbound flight. Then, on your return, the same fixed price brings you home to Bangor. Either way, you deal with one trusted service for both legs. Consequently, there is less to think about and nothing to arrange at the last minute.
Finally, our drivers know the A2 coast road well, from Holywood right along Belfast Lough. They monitor live conditions throughout every single trip so you can relax from the moment you book. Flying from Belfast International instead? See our Belfast International Airport taxi page.
Part of the local business community
Direct Airport Taxi is a member of Bangor Chamber of Commerce, the business network for Bangor and the wider Ards and North Down area. It matters to us that a service used by local residents and visitors is properly connected to the town it serves, rather than run entirely at arm’s length.
