Hi ellejay,

Direct Chauffeur offer an airport pickup from Leeds/Bradford airport to anywhere in West Yorkshire for £45. This will be in either an E-class or S-class mercedes.

Not sure how much for a limo would be though, there is a link on the bottom of their website (Starlimos) where you can get quotes for white or pink limos.

Alanrow, not exactly sure what your post means - what is it adding to the question presented?

the Op asked how much for a limo from LBA and I quoted a price for a service I have used before.

For comparison, a taxi from LBA to Leeds City Centre would be just over £20 (taxi fares increased in region of 10% in Leeds over past 6-9 months due to fuel price increases, I paid £20 in March 2008).

Also, the Leeds black and white taxis (citicabs etc.) no longer operate from LBA, the service is no operated by a private hire firm called Arrow taxis.

Arrow are a private hire company and must be pre booked. Local authority black and white cabs operate from the airport taxi rank, S J K is the local private hire taxi firm, if you ring them in the arrivals hall, they will give you an arrival time, as there car park is 400 yards away, never more than 5 mins. as with all private hire taxi firms, you can book before departing dublin, just confirm your arrival. LBIA getting like all other airports, promoting firms such as arrow to the deprement of very good locasl firms

Ian,

I know Arrow are a private Hire taxi firm, but they currently have the licence to operate from Leeds Bradford Airport. There are no black and white taxis operating from LBA now (obviously you can get one from another location and drop off at the airport).

This all changed just after the incident at Glasgow airport in June 2007, when the front access road to LBA was blocked off - the only access there now is for the airport bus (747 to Bradford & 757 to Leeds). Arrow taxis currently wait in what used to be the short stay carpark, and you pre book them from the arrivals hall where they currently have a desk.

The new owners of the airport, as part of the expansion plans are looking at altering the layout of the access road, having proper drop off points.

See the link to the LBIA airport website where it now states that Arrow currently have the licence for taxis at the airport.
