Chauffeur hire in Bolton, BL1 out to the moor edge

In the forty minutes before you land, the chauffeur has already left Bolton and is at Manchester. The car goes into the Manchester car park, the parking is paid, and the walk to the arrivals barrier is timed so the board is up before the first passengers bound for Bolton come through. None of that is your problem, but it is the reason the Manchester meet works and Bolton is reached on time.

A second stop on the way in is easy to arrange: a colleague dropped in Bury, or a detour past the stadium at Horwich before home. Put it on the Bolton enquiry and it is priced before you travel.

• Return route into Bolton chosen at the airport exit rather than in advance
• A second drop in Bury priced into the same booking
• Trains into Westhoughton watched the same way as flights
• Private arrivals met airside at the Manchester handling agent, then driven to Bolton

We plan the collection backwards from A666 St Peter's Way, not forwards from the postcode. A666 St Peter's Way decides which direction the car should be facing when you get in, and turning a long saloon round in Bolton afterwards wastes five minutes nobody has.

What happens after that on A666 St Peter's Way is deliberately unremarkable. Water in the door, a charger that fits your phone, a cabin at whatever temperature you ask for, and a chauffeur who says nothing between Bolton and the motorway unless you begin.

• Engine off and boot open before you reach the car in Bolton
• Indicative 35-60 minutes from Bolton to Manchester, given once and then left alone
• Pick-ups at Westhoughton made on the side that tolerates a stationary car
• Collections from the stadium at Horwich arranged through the desk, not the forecourt

Long-haul out of Manchester means an earlier desk, more luggage and a longer walk, all of it paid for at the Bolton end. All three change the collection time in Bolton, and all three appear on the quotation rather than being assumed.

At Manchester the chauffeur pulls into the drop-off, takes the cases that were loaded in Bolton out, and puts them on a trolley. If you are travelling with someone who is not, the car can go on afterwards to Bury or back into Bolton as part of the same booking.
