Cornwall Airport Newquay Terminal
Cornwall Airport Newquay (NQY) operates a single terminal in the village of Mawgan in Pydar on Cornwall’s north coast, about 4.5 miles north-east of Newquay town centre.

Newquay Airport Taxi vs. Driving Yourself
Newquay Airport has no direct public transport link from the town or wider Cornwall. Most people either drive themselves or use a pre-booked taxi. Here is why a fixed-price taxi is the smarter choice for most travellers.
Driving yourself
- You have to pay for airport parking for every day you are away, which adds up very fast
- You must then drive yourself home after a long flight when you are very tired
- Your car sits unattended in the car park for the entire length of your trip
- Cornwall’s country lanes can be slow and stressful, especially in summer tourist traffic
- If your flight is delayed, you may face extra parking charges on top of your original cost
- There is no public bus from Newquay town or from Truro directly to the airport
- Nobody is there to help carry bags or assist when you return tired with young children
Direct Airport Taxi
- We pick you up at your door and take you straight to the terminal with no parking costs at all
- 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
