Liverpool Airport to The Open 2026: Fast & Direct Transfers

by Driver Matty•
V Class Executive Taxi Transfers

If you are flying into Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL) for The Open 2026, you are in the best possible position. Located just 25 miles from Royal Birkdale, Liverpool Airport is the closest major hub to the championship, making for a quick and easy journey to the course.

Under normal conditions, the drive takes about 45 minutes. However, during the week of 12–19 July 2026, the roads between Liverpool and Southport will be incredibly busy. Booking a private transfer ensures you aren’t stuck figuring out local bus routes or waiting for a taxi in a long airport queue.

Avoid the Public Transport Hassle

While there are public transport links, they can be a bit of a headache when you’re carrying golf gear:

  • The Train: You would need to take a bus or taxi to Liverpool South Parkway, catch a train to Liverpool Central, and then switch to the Northern Line to Hillside or Southport. That’s a lot of lugging bags between platforms.
  • The Bus: Local buses can take over 2 hours to reach Birkdale from the airport, often requiring multiple changes.
  • The Better Way: A direct, executive transfer takes you from the arrivals hall straight to your destination in less than half the time.

Executive Vehicle Options

At DM Airport Transfers, we provide a professional service tailored to golfers and spectators alike.

The Executive Mercedes V-Class

Perfect for those who want to arrive at the 154th Open in style. It’s the ideal choice for corporate guests or small groups.

  • Standard Capacity: 4 Passengers.
  • Luggage Capacity: 4 Full-sized Golf Bags and 4 Carry-on Bags.
  • The Perks: Plush leather seating, air conditioning, and enough space to relax before you hit the gallery.

Larger Group Transfers (XLWB Ford Tourneo)

If your group is slightly larger, you don’t need to book two separate cars. Our Extra Long Wheelbase (XLWB) Ford Tourneo is specifically designed for these high-capacity trips.

  • Capacity: 6 Passengers.
  • Luggage Capacity: 6 Full-sized Golf Bags and 6 Carry-on Bags.
  • Why it works: The extended boot space means we can fit six of everything comfortably, something a standard-sized minibus simply can’t do.

Reliable Return Transfers

Because we cover the whole of the UK for return trips, we can pick you up from Liverpool Airport, drop you at your Southport hotel or the course, and then be there to take you back for your flight once the final putt has dropped on Sunday.
