Coventry to Birmingham Airport Taxi

Coventry to Birmingham Airport is one of the shortest airport transfers in the Midlands: about ten miles, door to terminal. It is also one of the easiest to mistime, because ten miles on the A45 at rush hour is a different journey from ten miles at 5am.

The usual route runs west out of Coventry on the A45, the Birmingham Road, through Meriden and on to Bickenhill, where Airport Way leads directly to the terminal. It is about 10 miles and takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes in normal traffic. At morning and evening peaks the A45 slows, so drivers allow extra and set off earlier; your fare does not change.

Birmingham Airport operates from a single terminal building, so there is no terminal confusion at the drop-off end. Your driver takes you to the departures entrance and helps with luggage from the boot to the doors.

Birmingham Airport's charges changed on 6 August 2026, and they matter for how your transfer works:

• Drop-off: the Drop Off car park is free for the first 10 minutes, about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the terminal via a covered walkway. Premium Set Down, right outside the terminal, costs £8 for up to 15 minutes.
• Pickup: the airport directs drivers collecting passengers to its designated pickup area (Premium Set Down is for drop-offs only, not pickups). Your exact pickup point is confirmed in your booking.

When you pre-book, none of this is your problem to solve on the day. Your driver knows where to wait and where to meet you, and the meeting point is confirmed in your booking. Airport access charges follow the airport's tariff.

The honest alternative on this route is the train: direct services run from Coventry to Birmingham International in as little as 9 minutes, several times an hour, and the free Air-Rail Link monorail connects the station to the terminal. For a solo traveller with a cabin bag, flying midday, it is hard to beat.

The taxi wins everywhere else. Getting to Coventry station with heavy luggage, travelling as a family, catching a flight before the first trains or after the last, landing late and still needing to reach Tile Hill or Walsgrave: each of these turns the train's 9 minutes into a much longer journey. The taxi is one vehicle from your door to the terminal, at whatever hour your flight demands, with the fare fixed in advance.

• Saloon (best for couples and solo travellers with standard luggage).
• People Carrier (best for families with children and extra luggage; extra cases, golf clubs or skis).
