Coventry to Birmingham Airport is 10.3 miles and takes between 17 and 20 minutes by road. It is one of the steadiest runs we do, barely changing whatever time you travel. Hampton Travel covers it as pre-booked private hire with a named driver confirmed on payment and a fixed price agreed in writing before you travel.

There is only 3 minutes in it across the whole day, so you can plan around this one without leaving yourself a large margin.
For a 07:00 departure from Birmingham Airport we would collect you from Coventry at about 04:38 for a short-haul flight, or 03:38 for long haul. That allows the measured drive plus the standard advice to arrive two hours before short haul and three before long haul.
| If your flight leaves | Type | At the airport by | We collect you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 07:00 | Short haul | 05:00 | 04:38 |
| 07:00 | Long haul | 04:00 | 03:38 |
| 11:00 | Short haul | 09:00 | 08:38 |
Worked examples for a 07:00 departure. Give us the real flight time and the whole table shifts with it.
Short enough that the drive back is rarely the problem. Getting out of Birmingham Airport usually takes longer than the road to Coventry does.
| You land at | Drive back to Coventry | Home by roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 10:00, a morning landing | 19 min | 11:04 |
| 16:00, an afternoon landing | 20 min | 17:05 |
| 19:00, an evening landing | 18 min | 20:03 |
Allowing 45 minutes from landing to being in the car, a 10.3 mile run puts most people home inside the hour and a half.
If the inbound is delayed we track it and send the driver to the actual landing time, not the one you booked. No waiting charge either way.
We leave Coventry on the A45 and join at M6 J2. At 10.3 miles it is a short run. It holds within 3 minutes whatever hour we measure it, so there is no bad time to travel this one.
We work the pickup time back from it and confirm your driver on payment.
