Belfast International Airport & Belfast City Centre — outbound and return
We cover this trip in both directions with one fixed price. So whether you are flying out or coming home, the cost is the same. It is agreed before you book. This is the busiest route on our Belfast International Airport taxi service.
From your address to the terminal

From there, the A57 Airport Road runs straight to the single terminal at Aldergrove. Above all, the price stays fixed even if the M2 is busy.
From the terminal back into Belfast
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 quickest road back into the city centre. Finally, you are dropped right at your door with no extra charge for waiting.

Taxi vs the Airport Express 300 bus
Belfast city centre has a direct bus link to the airport, the Translink Airport Express 300. However, it still means getting to the stop, a fare for every person, and your bags on your lap. A fixed-price taxi takes you door to door instead. Here is how they stack up.
£ Fixed-price taxi
- Door to door, with no stops or changes on the way
- One fixed price for the whole car, not per person
- Often cheaper than the bus for three or more travelling together
- Meet and greet at arrivals with a name board
- 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
Airport Express 300 bus
- You get to and from the bus stop at each end yourself
- Priced per person, so a family adds up fast
- Only serves the city centre, not South or East Belfast addresses
- Makes several stops along the route into town
- Set timetable, and overnight services are less frequent
- Less room for big bags at busy times
- No help with luggage or if your flight time changes
Belfast International Airport to Belfast city centre taxi FAQs
A pre-booked fixed-price taxi from Belfast International Airport to Belfast city centre starts from £70 for a standard saloon. The Titanic Quarter is also from £70, while South Belfast along the Lisburn Road is around £84. East Belfast addresses near the Newtownards Road are around £92. The price is exactly the same in both directions.
The journey typically takes between 25 and 40 minutes, depending on traffic. The M2 is usually clear outside rush hour, so 30 minutes is normal. However, during weekday peaks — especially southbound between 8am and 9am — it can take 45 to 50 minutes. We always recommend allowing extra time before your flight.
Belfast International Airport is about 18 miles north-west of Belfast city centre. It sits near the village of Aldergrove in County Antrim, just off the A57 Airport Road. Most of the drive is on the M2 motorway, which is why the trip is so quick outside peak hours.
Yes. The Translink Airport Express 300 runs between the airport and Belfast city centre, with a fare charged for every passenger. It is a good option for a solo traveller with light luggage. However, for families, groups, or anyone staying outside the centre, a fixed-price taxi is usually easier and often cheaper per person.
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 city centre to the airport costs the same as a taxi from the airport into the city. You can book one way or both legs at once.
Your fixed-price taxi between Belfast International Airport and Belfast city centre
Belfast International is the biggest airport in Northern Ireland, and the city centre is where most of its passengers are heading. As a result, this is the most travelled airport taxi route in the region. Whether you fly for business or holiday, a smooth and reliable transfer matters.
To begin with, the trip covers about 18 miles, almost all of it on the M2. However, traffic can build up at peak times, so journey times vary between 25 and 40 minutes. Because of this, your driver always plans the route with live conditions in mind.
Why pre-booking beats the airport taxi rank
The taxi rank outside arrivals uses a meter or a set tariff board. Therefore, the final price can change with traffic, and you may queue at busy times. By contrast, our price is fixed when you book. So you know the cost up front, even if the M2 is slow. Above all, this saves you from any surprise at the end of the trip.
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. 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 Belfast and the M2 corridor inside out. They monitor live conditions throughout every single trip so you can relax from the moment you book.
