Joe Maxi Taxis connects Manchester passengers with licensed local drivers for the city, the airports, the stadiums, and every surrounding town — fixed fares, no surge pricing, 24/7.

About Manchester
- Manchester is where the Industrial Revolution met the modern city — the world's first passenger railway station (Liverpool Road, 1830), the first canal-to-canal trade hub, and the term 'Manchester' once meant any boom town anywhere.
- Manchester has two of the most decorated football clubs on earth — United's Old Trafford has hosted football at the top level since 1910, and City's Etihad grew from the 2002 Commonwealth Games stadium.
- The AO Arena is one of the busiest indoor venues in the world — over a million concert tickets a year, and on show nights the taxi rank queues stretch down Trinity Way.
