Taxis to Birmingham Airport

Birmingham Airport (BHX) is on the eastern edge of Birmingham, next to the NEC and Birmingham International station, with a single terminal building. For south Cheshire it's a practical alternative to Manchester – straight down the M6 – and it often has flights and fares that suit your trip better.

Cheshiree Taxis runs pre-booked transfers to and from Birmingham Airport from our base in Crewe and across Cheshire. You get a confirmed price before you travel, a professional driver at your door, and no airport parking to worry about.

Why Take a Taxi to Birmingham Airport?

You can reach Birmingham Airport by train via Birmingham International, but from most of Cheshire that means at least one change and a transfer to the terminal with your bags. A pre-booked taxi takes you straight from your door to the drop-off.

  • Straight down the M6: a simple run from south Cheshire.
  • No parking costs: skip airport car parks and drop-off charges.
  • Early and late flights: we run 24/7.
  • Room for luggage: MPVs and 8-seater minivans for families and groups.

Our drivers choose between the M6 and M6 Toll depending on traffic on the day, to get you there as smoothly as possible.

How Your Birmingham Airport Transfer Works

Departures

Book your pickup time with plenty of margin before check-in. Your driver arrives at your door, loads your luggage and takes you straight to the terminal drop-off.

Arrivals

Give us your flight number when you book. We track your flight, so if it lands early or late your pickup time adjusts automatically, and your driver meets you at the agreed point.

Meet and Greet

Choose meet-and-greet and your driver will wait in the arrivals area, ready to walk you to the car.

NEC Events

Heading to a show or exhibition at the NEC next door? We can take you there too, and collect you afterwards.

Birmingham or Manchester: Which Airport?

For much of Cheshire, Manchester is closer and has more routes. But from the south of the county and the Staffordshire border, Birmingham can be a convenient choice, and it sometimes has the better flight or fare. We cover both, plus Liverpool, East Midlands, Heathrow and Gatwick.

Birmingham Airport Taxi: Practical Tips

Before You Fly

  • One terminal, two piers – Birmingham's single terminal makes drop-off easy. Your driver will take you straight to the departures entrance.
  • Allow for the M6 – the stretch around Junctions 10 to 4 can be slow at peak times. We'll recommend a pickup time with a sensible margin, and use the M6 Toll when it's the quicker option.
  • Drop-off charges – Birmingham Airport charges for using its drop-off zone. Ask us how this is handled when you book.
  • Combine with the NEC – flying back after a show or exhibition? We can collect you from the NEC and take you home.

When You Land

  • Switch your phone on after landing so your driver can contact you.
  • No rush – we track your flight and adjust the pickup time automatically.
  • Meet and greet – your driver can wait in the arrivals hall with a name board if you've booked it.

Taxi, Train or Driving to Birmingham Airport?

From Crewe, there are direct trains to Birmingham International, which is linked to the terminal by the free AIR-Rail Link. That can work well if you're travelling light. With a family, lots of luggage or an early flight, though, a taxi avoids changes, waiting on platforms and the walk through to departures. Compared with driving yourself, you save on airport parking for the length of your trip and avoid the drive home after a late arrival. For groups, an MPV or 8-seater minivan often works out cheaper per person than separate train tickets.
