Newcastle Airport Taxi vs. the Tyne and Wear Metro
Newcastle Airport has a Metro link directly into the city. However, a fixed-price taxi is often the better choice, especially for groups, families, or anyone heading to Sunderland, Durham, Northumberland, or beyond.
Metro from NCL
- The Metro only goes to Newcastle city centre and a handful of stations on the network
- You must pay a separate fare for every person in your group, which adds up fast for families
- There is very little space for large suitcases or pushchairs on the Metro during peak times
- The Metro does not serve Sunderland directly from the airport without a change at Monument
- The Metro does not cover Durham, Northumberland, Carlisle, or any area outside Tyne and Wear
- Late-night Metro services are limited, so early morning or late-night flights need a taxi anyway
- Nobody is there to help you carry your bags or assist with young children
Direct Airport Taxi
- We pick you up at your door and take you straight to any address across the North East
- You pay one fixed price with never any extra charges per person in your group
- You pay the fixed price you saw at booking, even if it takes you longer than expected to clear the terminal
- Because our trusted network partners track your flight, your driver adjusts for delays automatically
- Your driver greets you in the arrivals hall with a name board and helps with your bags
- We run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year long
- Child seats and booster seats can be added to your booking, and your driver always helps with your bags

- We use the A1 and A696 for approaches from Morpeth, Northumberland, and the north
- We use the A1(M) and A692 for approaches from Durham, Gateshead, and the south
