Where Your Driver Meets You at Leeds Bradford
Leeds Bradford has one terminal. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall, then walks you to the car a minute away. Parking is our cost, not yours.
Red dot = your driver’s meeting point in the arrivals hall
- LBA
Arrivals hall
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a board showing your name.
We follow your flight, so the driver is inside before you come through, even if you land early. - CAR
Not the terminal-front desk
Walk past the Arrow Cars desk and kiosk; your driver is already inside.
Arrow Cars is the airport’s own taxi partner and the only firm allowed on the terminal front. Your pre-booked car is separate and parks in the Pick Up & Drop Off car park, about a minute’s walk away.
Dropping someone off yourself? The Pick Up & Drop Off car park costs £8 for up to 10 minutes. The free option is the One Hour Free Zone in the Mid Stay car park, about a five-minute uphill walk. Stopping on the airport roads can bring a parking charge notice. More in our UK airport drop-off charges guide.

Early flightFrom Leeds or Bradford
Both city centres are about 8 miles away (£50 and £49), so the drive is short; most of your time goes on bag drop and security.
From York or HarrogateAllow for the longer drive
York is about 30 miles (£85) and Harrogate about 12 (£55). Book a pickup that leaves room for traffic at busy times.
From LondonA long run north
Central London to Leeds Bradford is about 205 miles (£343 saloon). It is a long motorway drive, so book well ahead and allow for traffic.
