Manner Borne Chauffeurs provide a professional chauffeur service to, from and around York, from the city walls and York station to the Knavesmire, the university and the villages of the Vale of York. Our chauffeurs travel from our North West offices, and where it makes better sense a booking is handled through our affiliated premium chauffeur companies, with the standard staying the same. Call us on 0161 532 4444 or check availability below.
York is a walled city with a compact centre, and many streets inside the walls are closed to traffic for much of the day, so set-down points need planning. Most journeys from the North West use the M62 and the A1(M), joining the A64 for the final run in. Every York journey is planned before the chauffeur sets off, including where a car can wait near the station or a hotel without causing a problem.
Our York chauffeur services include:
Discretion matters more than anything else on VIP work. Our chauffeurs are used to clients who would rather not be noticed, and to what goes with it: discreet collection points, no conversation unless it is invited, and a vehicle that does not draw attention.
Race days, conferences and private visits to the city’s historic hotels bring visiting guests to York, and a chauffeur who knows the set-down points keeps those journeys private and on time. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class LWB is the usual choice, with the V-Class where a small party is travelling together. See our full VIP chauffeur service for details.
The University of York, the large Nestlé and Aviva sites in the city and a busy conference trade bring clients and directors to York, and York station sits on the East Coast Main Line with direct trains to London and Edinburgh. A chauffeur turns client visits and station collections into working time. Your chauffeur watches the traffic, waits when a meeting overruns and gets you to the next appointment on time. Business accounts keep regular travel simple. See our full business chauffeur service for details.
Leeds Bradford Airport is the nearest airport to York, and Manchester Airport is the main long-haul option. We monitor your flight and adjust the collection time if it moves, so a delay does not leave you waiting and an early arrival does not leave you stranded.
Manchester Airport now runs from Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, so we confirm your terminal before the day. For groups or heavy luggage the V-Class and the Ford Tourneo Custom carry more cases, and our airport chauffeur service covers every major UK airport.
Wedding work has no second chances, so we plan it properly: the route driven in advance, timings agreed with the venue, and ribbons in the colours you have chosen. York Racecourse hosts weddings in its stands overlooking the Knavesmire, and the city’s historic hotels and the country houses of North Yorkshire make memorable settings. The S-Class is the traditional bridal car, with the V-Class or the eight-seat Viano following for the wedding party, and guest transport is covered too. See our full wedding chauffeur service for details.
York Racecourse on the Knavesmire holds some of the best flat racing in the country, including the Ebor Festival each August, and York City play at the LNER Community Stadium.
A chauffeur removes the parking and the drive home. We drop as close as the stewarding allows and arrange a collection point away from the worst of the crowds. See our full sporting events chauffeur service for details.
Corporate accounts get consistency: the same standard of vehicle, the same standard of chauffeur, and a booking process that does not start from scratch every time. We handle client collections from York station and Leeds Bradford Airport, delegates for conferences in the city, and hospitality days at York Racecourse. See our full corporate chauffeur service for details.
The York Barbican hosts concerts and comedy in the city, and the biggest tours play the First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds, a straight run down the A64. A chauffeur means no parking, no queue to get out afterwards and nobody in the group having to stay sober to drive. We wait at a pick-up point agreed in advance, so the journey home is as easy as the journey there. See our full concert and music events chauffeur service for details.
Theatre and premiere work is about timing and presentation. The Grand Opera House and York Theatre Royal are the city’s main stages, both a short walk from the city walls. The car arrives clean and on time, the chauffeur knows where to pull in, and you are collected from the same point afterwards. See our full theatre and red carpet chauffeur service for details.
Our fleet covers everything from a single executive passenger to a full coach party:
Mercedes-Benz S-Class LWB
The traditional choice for executive travel, weddings and VIP work, where the priority is a quiet, comfortable journey for one or two passengers.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class and EQS
Executive cars for business travel and airport transfers, with the fully electric EQS for clients who want a zero-emission journey.
Range Rover Velar
A less formal option that suits leisure travel and days out in York.
Mercedes-Benz V-Class XLWB, V-Class AC-13 XLWB and Viano
People carriers for airport transfers, wedding parties, corporate days out and travel to sporting and music events, with room for luggage as well as passengers.
Ford Tourneo Custom
For luggage-heavy airport runs where the cases matter as much as the seats.
Yutong TC9 Midi Coach and Van Hool Luxury Coach
For larger parties, so a whole group or hospitality box can travel in one vehicle.
Every vehicle carries in-car WiFi. See our luxury fleet for full specifications.
Where We Cover
We cover journeys to, from and around York, including the city centre, the Knavesmire, the university and the villages of North Yorkshire, with chauffeurs travelling from our North West offices. For the other cities we serve, see our nationwide chauffeur service page.
Booking
Use the Check Availability form for a quote, or call us on 0161 532 4444. Tell us the date, the pick-up point and how many are travelling, and we will confirm the right vehicle. Where it makes better sense, a York booking is run by one of our affiliated premium chauffeur companies, but the booking stays with us and the standard is the same.
What To Expect
A clean vehicle arriving on time and a chauffeur who has planned the route before setting off. On race days we allow for the crowds and the road closures around the Knavesmire, and we would far rather arrive early and wait than explain a delay to someone with a train or a flight to catch.
Visitors and Days Out
York Minster, the city walls, the Shambles and the National Railway Museum are among the best days out in the country. A chauffeur links each stop together without any parking, so visitors and older relatives can enjoy the day without the drive.
Travelling Further Afield
Journeys outside the North West are covered by our own fleet or, where it makes better sense, by our affiliated premium chauffeur companies. Either way the booking stays with us and the standard is the same.
