Leeds Bradford Airport Taxi — Fixed Price, 24/7

Leeds Bradford Airport is the closest airport to Leeds — around 9 miles north-west of the city centre, on the edge of Yeadon. On paper it is a short hop, but the A658 and Harrogate Road can be slow at peak times and the airport has a paid drop-off zone, so a fixed-price door-to-door taxi is usually the calmest way to start a trip.

Ridecore Travel runs a single premium vehicle — an 8-seater Mercedes-Benz Vito Tourer — so whether you are travelling solo, as a couple or as a full group of eight with luggage, the price is the same fixed fare agreed before you set off. We cover every LS postcode and the wider Leeds area, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The route from Leeds to Leeds Bradford Airport

From Leeds City Centre the drive is typically 20–30 minutes via the A65 and A658, or the ring road and Harrogate Road depending on where you start. Early-morning departures before 6am are usually quicker; Friday afternoons, school runs and the summer holiday getaway are the slowest windows, so we build extra time into your pickup for those.

We collect from any address in Leeds — LS1 to LS29, plus Horsforth, Guiseley, Rawdon, Yeadon, Otley, Bramhope, Cookridge, Adel, Headingley, Pudsey, Morley and everywhere in between. Pickups outside Leeds City Centre are welcome; the fare may vary slightly with distance, and we confirm the exact price when you book.

Drop-off, pick-up and terminal

Leeds Bradford Airport has a single terminal. For departures we drop you directly at the terminal forecourt drop-off area. For arrivals we track your flight number in real time and adjust the pickup automatically if you land early or late, then meet you once you have cleared baggage reclaim — there is no extra charge for reasonable waiting time after landing.

If you would prefer a meet-and-greet inside the terminal with a name board, just ask when booking and we will arrange it.

Why book ahead instead of a rank taxi

A pre-booked fixed-price transfer means your fare is agreed in advance with no meter, no surge pricing and no queueing at a rank after a long flight. You get the same 8-seater Mercedes whether it is one passenger or a family of eight, real-time flight tracking on the return leg, and a licensed PHV driver (Leeds City Council licence 25232).
