The Trafford Centre is one of the North West's biggest Christmas shopping trips, and one of the hardest to park at on a December weekend. Here's how to do the whole day from Winsford without circling a car park.
A big shop is a long day, and the busiest days are the worst for driving: full car parks, queues to get in and out, and a heavy boot to carry back. A pre-booked taxi takes you to the entrance, lets you shop without watching the clock, and brings you home with the bags. Nobody has to be the designated driver, which makes it easier to stop for lunch or a drink.
Add a return journey on the booking form with its own date and time, so your ride home is arranged before you set off. Shopping days tend to run over, so pick a return time with some breathing room. If it moves, message us on WhatsApp and we'll do our best to change your pickup.
Friends, family or the whole office? Our 6-seat and 8-seat vehicles keep everyone in one car, with a small flat supplement on top of the fare. A bigger vehicle is also the sensible choice if you expect a lot of bags. Mention it in the booking notes so your driver knows. Splitting the total between you usually works out cheaper than it sounds.
Collecting a friend from Northwich or Middlewich on the way? Add an extra pickup on the booking form. Extra stops are added to the fare, charged at £3 per mile from the previous stop.
Pay online when you book, choose to pay your driver by cash or card on the day, or pay in advance by bank transfer from the link in your confirmation email. You get an email confirming it either way.

Journeys to the Trafford Centre are priced by mileage, not at a fixed fare. The booking form gives you an instant approximate cost as soon as you enter your pickup address and the Trafford Centre, and the exact total is confirmed before you pay.
