The City Airport to Birmingham route

North on the A406 to the M11 or across to the M1, then north to the M6 and into Birmingham. Around 135 miles and about 155 minutes. Motorway for most of it once you are clear of north London.

Birmingham's Clean Air Zone

Birmingham runs a Class D Clean Air Zone covering the city centre inside the A4540 ring road. Class D includes private hire vehicles among the charged types where they do not meet the emissions standard. Where a charge applies to your journey it is included in the fixed fare we quote, so there is nothing to settle with the driver. Destinations outside the ring road are unaffected.

What tends to affect the time

The North Circular

The first stretch out of the Royal Docks and slow at peaks.

M1 junctions 6a to 10

Congested northbound in the morning.

The M6 and M42 interchange

One of the busiest in the country.

NEC and arena events

Both shift traffic patterns considerably on big days.

Practical details

Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name board. Add meet and greet when you book if you'd like this; if not, your driver calls you after you land to sort out the pickup point. We track the inbound flight so a delay moves the pickup, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free.
Two and a half hours is a long time in a car. An executive saloon suits two travelling for business; a group is considerably more comfortable in the eight seater than split across two vehicles. We will build in a comfort stop if you want one.

Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice to be eligible for a refund, and refunds are subject to a £7 or 10% administration fee, whichever is higher. No refund is issued where notice is under 24 hours, or where the passenger does not show up. To cancel, email or call us and wait for written confirmation; until you have that, the booking still stands.
