Your executive chauffeur to AO Arena

Manchester’s city-centre arena

The AO Arena sits above Manchester Victoria station and has been hosting major concerts since 1995. A major upgrade in 2024 took its capacity to 23,000. Leave the car at home and let us handle the city-centre traffic.

You’ll travel in our full-electric Mercedes V-Class: a quiet cabin, starlight ceiling, two TVs, a fridge and a table, with seats for six.

Getting there

AO Arena: the essentials

Where it is and how drop-off and pick-up work.

Address

Victoria Station, M3 1AR

The arena is built over Manchester Victoria station, on the north side of the city centre.

Drop-off

Close to the entrance

We drop you as close to the arena as the event-night traffic plan allows.

After the show

We’re waiting

We agree a meeting point before the show, so you’re not left queuing for a ride.

Not to be confused with Co-op Live. The AO Arena is in the city centre, while Co-op Live is about two miles east, on the Etihad Campus.
