This page gives you information on three ways to get to Huddersfield from Manchester International Airport:
Manchester International Airport is the closest airport to Huddersfield. The University offers a ‘Meet and Greet’ service for students arriving into Manchester International Airport. Our aim is to make sure your arrival to Huddersfield is as comfortable as possible.
If you are arriving between the dates of Saturday 12 September 2015 to Sunday 20 September 2015 then you can book on to a FREE complimentary University coach. The coach will collect you from Manchester International Airport and take you directly to either the University of Huddersfield campus, Storthes Hall Park Student Village or Ashenhurst Student Houses. Please complete the booking form and select which time you will require collecting from Manchester International Airport.
After the Arrivals Hall, please walk to the airport's bus station, where the free coach will be waiting.
If you book this service, this ensures that no matter what time you arrive (day or night) there will be a University approved driver at the airport to meet you and take you to your accommodation in Huddersfield. This service is open to all international students joining us in September.
The cost of this service for one passenger is £50.00, which is payable direct to the driver. Please make sure you have some British currency with you on arrival into the UK for the taxi fare.
For bookings with more than one passenger, a larger taxi or multiple taxis are required. The costs for multiple passengers are as follows:
| One passenger | £50.00 |
| Two passengers | £70.00 |
| Three passengers | £90.00 |
| Four passengers | £120.00 |
Booking is very quick and easy! Please complete the short booking form. We will then e-mail you to confirm the booking and a University approved driver with a University sign will be in the arrivals lounge of the airport to welcome you upon your arrival.
Please Note: Bookings must be submitted at least seven days in advance of your arrival. We cannot arrange the University approved taxi driver service without you completing the booking form.
This service is the only official University of Huddersfield partnership taxi service and it has been negotiated at a discounted price especially for our students. We cannot take responsibility for any other service arranged by a student.
If you book this service but do not arrive or do not use the service, you will be invoiced and charged for the taxi. If you wish to cancel your booking, please email the International Office with at least 48 hours notice and no charges will be made.
You can choose to make your own travel arrangements to Huddersfield directly from Manchester International Airport. There are frequent train services from Manchester International Airport to Huddersfield train station. A standard class single ticket costs approximately £19.70 anytime and the train journey from Manchester International Airport to Huddersfield takes around one hour.
Once you arrive at Huddersfield train station, you then need to make your way to your accommodation. There is a taxi stop outside the front of the station. Use the first taxi at the front of the line of taxis. Make sure you have money to pay for the journey, usually £5.00. Cash machines are available at the train station.
Please be advised that if your flight lands into the UK late at night or in the early hours of the morning, the University approved taxi driver service is more suitable as you may have to wait a number of hours at the airport for the next available train to Huddersfield.
We wish you a safe and pleasant journey, and look forward to welcoming you to Huddersfield!
