Bangor & Belfast International Airport — outbound and return
We cover this cross-city 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 long-distance route on our Belfast International 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 west along Belfast Lough, then joins the M2 north towards Antrim. From there, it is a short run to the single terminal at Aldergrove. Above all, the price stays fixed even if the roads through Belfast are 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 M2 and 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 & bus from Bangor
Bangor has a direct rail line into Belfast, but Belfast International is well outside the city, so getting there by public transport means a train, a change, and then a further bus. 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, prams, and golf clubs
Train & connecting bus
- Requires a change in Belfast city centre, adding well over an hour
- Priced per person, so a family adds up fast
- Belfast International is well outside the city itself
- 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 International Airport taxi FAQs
A pre-booked fixed-price taxi from Bangor to Belfast International Airport starts from £111 for a standard saloon. This covers the 27-mile trip via the A2 and M2. The same price applies to nearby Ballyholme and Groomsport, since the drive time is almost identical. The price is exactly the same in both directions.
The journey typically takes between 40 and 55 minutes. The A2 and M2 are usually clear outside rush hour, so around 45 minutes is normal. However, during weekday peaks around Belfast, allow closer to 55 minutes.
Belfast International Airport is about 27 miles from Bangor, travelling via the A2 and M2 around Belfast. It is further than Belfast City Airport, which sits only 11 miles away. Many travellers still choose it for its wider choice of routes and airlines.
Not directly. The usual route is a train from Bangor into Belfast, then a bus onward to the airport. Including the change, it takes well over an hour. 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 ground-floor arrivals hall with a clear name board. Belfast International has a single 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 International 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 International Airport
Bangor is Northern Ireland’s sixth city, a seaside town on the County Down coast known for its marina and Victorian seafront. Belfast International is further away than the city airport, since it sits on the opposite side of Belfast near Aldergrove. Even so, many Bangor residents choose it for its wider range of destinations, so a smooth and reliable transfer matters.
To begin with, the trip covers about 27 miles, following the A2 along the coast and then the M2 north. However, traffic through Belfast can build up at peak times, so journey times vary between 40 and 55 minutes. Because of this, your driver always plans the route with live conditions in mind.
Why pre-booking beats the train and bus
Getting to Belfast International from Bangor by public transport means a train into the city, then a bus out to Aldergrove. 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 under an hour.
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 and M2 corridor well, right around Belfast Lough and on to Aldergrove. They monitor live conditions throughout every single trip so you can relax from the moment you book. Flying from Belfast City Airport instead? It is much closer at just 11 miles — see our Bangor to Belfast City Airport taxi page.

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.
