First Direct Arena Leeds Taxi Transfers

First Direct Arena: Built Because Leeds Needed One

Before 2013, Leeds was the largest city in the UK without its own arena — fans had to travel over an hour to Manchester or Sheffield for big touring shows. First Direct Arena changed that, opening with Elton John on the bill and going on to become the UK's first fan-shaped bowl venue, a design that keeps every one of its 13,500 seats within 68 metres of the stage. It's a straightforward 10-minute walk from Leeds train station.

Post-event, your driver will be at a pre-agreed meeting point when the show finishes. We recommend a spot slightly away from the main arena exits to get away quicker.

Airport to Arena Transfers

Flying in for a big concert? We'll collect you from any UK airport and take you directly to the venue. Leeds Bradford Airport is closest, usually 25–30 minutes from the arena. Meet & greet available — your driver will be in arrivals with a nameboard.

Vehicle Options

With every seat within 68 metres of the stage, shows here sell out fast — so do the taxis outside afterwards. Book ahead.

• 4-seater cars — solo or couples, from £60
• 6-seater MPVs — small groups, from £90
• 7–8 seater minibuses — larger groups, from £90
• Executive vehicles — arrive in style, from £125

Return Transfers After the Show

Book your return at the same time and your driver will meet you at a pre-agreed point after the show ends. WhatsApp us if your plans change on the night.
