In July 2026, the eyes of the sporting world will return to the North West as Royal Birkdale hosts The Open Championship. It is the ultimate stage in golf, and for fans and players alike, it is a week of incredible drama. However, with hundreds of thousands of spectators descending on Southport, the local infrastructure is pushed to its absolute limit.

If you are planning to attend, the most important “club” in your bag won’t be a driver—it will be a guaranteed, pre-booked transfer.

Beat the Southport Scarcity

When The Open comes to town, the “Golf Coast” transforms. Standard taxi apps become unreliable, waiting times at Manchester (MAN) and Liverpool (LPL) airports skyrocket, and local firms are often booked out months in advance. Trying to find a vehicle large enough for a group and their gear on the day is nearly impossible.

By booking your Mercedes-Benz V-Class or Executive Minibus with Manpool Transfers now, you bypass the chaos.

  • Guaranteed Availability: While others are stranded at the terminal or the station, your professional driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a Meet and Greet sign.
  • Fixed Pricing: Avoid the “event surge” pricing that often plagues standard taxi services during major championships.
  • Dedicated Logistics: We understand the specific traffic management plans put in place for The Open, ensuring we get you as close to the Royal Birkdale gates as possible.

Travel Like the Pros

Whether you are a group of fans heading to the spectator village or a corporate party entertaining guests, the journey should reflect the prestige of the event. Our executive fleet offers:

  • Luxury and Space: The V-Class provides a private, climate-controlled lounge where you can discuss the leaderboard in comfort.
  • Room for the Gear: If you’re playing a few rounds at nearby gems like Hillside or S&A while the pros are at Birkdale, we have the boot space for all your equipment. No bags on laps, and no cramped legs.
  • The “19th Hole” Freedom: The atmosphere at The Open is electric. Don’t miss out on a celebratory drink because you have to drive. We act as your designated driver for the entire week.

From your hotel in Liverpool or Manchester to the heart of the action in Southport, we provide the seamless, high-end logistics that a Major Championship deserves.
