Check Availability Early
If you are arranging transport for corporate guests, hospitality clients, international visitors or a private golf group, send a short enquiry first. We can confirm whether the required date, vehicle type and journey structure are realistic before requesting the full itinerary.
For main event days, MCR EXEC is only offering retained full-day chauffeur hire with a minimum 8-hour booking. This protects return journey reliability, chauffeur availability and guest experience.
Open Week Transport
The 154th Open will bring significant visitor movement into Southport and the wider Merseyside area. During major championship days, transport demand rises sharply around Royal Birkdale, local hotels, rail stations and airport arrivals.
For companies hosting clients, organisers moving VIP guests, and overseas visitors travelling with golf luggage, a planned chauffeur itinerary offers better control than arranging ad hoc return transport during the event.
MCR EXEC can support journeys from Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Formby, Southport and surrounding areas. For local travel into the town, our Southport chauffeur service page provides wider area coverage.

Retained Event Transport
On the main Open Championship days, MCR EXEC will not be providing one-way event transfers. Due to the scale of the event, local traffic, road pressure and return journey uncertainty, bookings are structured as retained full-day chauffeur hire only.
The minimum hire period is 8 hours. Retained hire keeps the chauffeur and vehicle assigned to your booking for the agreed period, giving guests greater control over hospitality timings, dinner transfers and return travel.

Planned standby can support hospitality timings, dinner transfers and flexible return journeys after play.

Group And Corporate Planning
Corporate golf travel often involves more than a simple pickup and drop-off. Guests may arrive on different flights, stay in different hotels, or need transport across several days.
MCR EXEC can review passenger numbers, arrival points, preferred vehicles and itinerary details before recommending the most suitable chauffeur structure.
Send us your dates, passenger numbers, pickup points, preferred vehicle type and return requirements. We can review the itinerary and recommend the right structure for Open week.
