Matchdays,
planned around closures.
Liverpool’s grounds have matchday road closures, and clubs publish their own travel advice. We plan a practical drop-off and meeting point rather than promising the stadium door.
Hill Dickinson Stadium (Everton)
Everton’s travel hub lists matchday road closures. Its official taxi ranks are outside the closures and are for black cabs (hackney carriages) only.

Check the closures
Venues publish road closures and parking rules, and they change from year to year.

Questions
Event days,
answered.
Can you drop us right at the entrance?
Venues and councils control the roads around them on event days, and many close streets or keep ranks for black cabs only. A drop-off and meeting point is planned around the venue’s published guidance.
Do you supply tickets or hospitality?
No. MC Executive Travel arranges the journey only, and isn’t affiliated with any venue or event. Tickets and hospitality come from the organisers.
Do you travel to events outside the Northwest?
Yes, anywhere in the UK, as long as the journey starts in Liverpool or the surrounding Northwest. The Open at St Andrews in 2027 is one example.
