Convenient and reliable Newcastle Airport taxi

Newcastle Airport is the primary and busiest airport in North East England and it’s located about 10 km (6.6 miles) north of Newcastle upon Tyne. Instead of waiting in line for a taxi or using crowded public transport after a tiring flight, you can book your Newcastle Airport taxi with Welcome Pickups in advance and enjoy professional, door-to-door service; a seamless, hassle-free travel experience from the minute you reach the Arrivals Hall.

It takes only a couple of minutes to book your airport taxi in Newcastle with Welcome Pickups and you can do so as early as you like; there’s a flexible cancellation policy in place that allows for last-minute changes if needed. Pre-booking can save you valuable time at the airport and take a lot of the stress off your shoulders, especially if you’re not a regular or experienced traveller, or if you’re travelling with little ones. Welcome ensures a smooth arrival with a professional, hand-picked driver waiting for you, even in case of an unexpected flight delay; in that case, your driver will monitor your flight and your pickup time will be adjusted accordingly. After you meet with your driver and they offer a helping hand with your luggage, you can simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the comfortable ride to your accommodation.

Even if the ride with your taxi from Newcastle Airport to the city is short, you can use this time to chat with your driver and ask any questions you might have about the local culture, must-see attractions or the best places to eat; they’ll be happy to give you recommendations and share their knowledge of the city.

What our customers say about Welcome

"Anabelia, our tour guide was wonderful. She guided us through history and food and made great suggestions and enabled us to understand Greek culture and the food. I would highly recommend this tour.”

Getting to the city centre with a taxi from Newcastle Airport

Newcastle Airport is located approximately 10 km (6.6 miles) northeast of Newcastle upon Tyne. Getting there with a Newcastle Airport taxi takes approximately 15 minutes in light traffic and you can track the route on your mobile if you wish. After you exit the airport parking, your driver will follow A696 and A167 to Newcastle upon Tyne and take the exit toward the City Centre(North)/B1318 from A167.

At Newcastle Airport Roundabout, you’ll take the second exit onto A696 and at Kenton Bar Interchange, you’ll take the third exit onto Ponteland Rd/A167. At the next roundabout, you’ll take the second exit and stay on Ponteland Rd/A167 until you reach another roundabout; there you’ll take the second exit, stay on Ponteland Rd/A167, and after about 3 km use the left lane to take the ramp to City Centre(North)/B1318. You’ll then turn right toward Claremont Rd/B1318, at the first roundabout, take the first exit onto Claremont Rd/B1318, and at the next roundabout, take the fourth exit onto Queen Victoria Rd to enter the city centre. Your driver will then continue on local roads depending on the exact drop-off location you’ll indicate upon booking.

Why choose a Welcome airport taxi in Newcastle

Dreading the long queues at the airport taxi rank or having to check train timetables as soon as you land is not the best way to start your trip in Newcastle. Whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure, with Welcome Pickups, you’re not only getting an airport transfer but a friend on the ground. You can quickly pre-book and pre-pay for your Newcastle Airport taxi to ensure a competitive, fixed fare and professional door-to-door service.

A few days or hours before your transfer, depending on how early in advance you make your booking, you’ll be assigned a trained, hand-picked driver who will be there for you as soon as you arrive at Newcastle Airport. You’ll receive their photo and contact information via email so that you know who to expect and you’ll find them in the Arrivals Hall holding a sign with your name on it. Another thing you won’t have to worry about with Welcome Pickups is rushing through customs and baggage claim; you’ll have a complimentary 60 minutes after your scheduled pickup time to meet your driver without any stress.

The average fare for a Newcastle Airport taxi that you’ll get from the taxi rank is about £20 (€23.50).

Frequently asked questions

Do Newcastle Airport taxis operate with set fares?

Depending on whether you take a taxi from the rank or you choose to pre-book one, the starting or per km rates may vary.

Do I need to pre-book my Newcastle Airport taxi?

Newcastle Airport taxis are available 24/7 for on-demand service but pre-booking your airport transfer to Newcastle will ensure a much smoother experience. You’ll save time by skipping the line at the taxi rank and you’ll have a driver waiting for you upon arrival. Another great advantage is that you’ll ensure a fixed rate which you’ll know and pay for in advance, meaning you won’t have to worry about cash payments either.

What happens to my booking if my flight is delayed?

Even if your flight is unexpectedly delayed, your Welcome booking remains confirmed and your transfer will be operated at the new landing time. During the booking process, we’ll ask for your flight number; your driver will use that to monitor your flight and in case of a delay will adjust the pickup time accordingly. If the initial driver assigned to operate your transfer isn’t available due to a schedule conflict, we’ll assign a new driver and you’ll receive their photo and contact information via email.
