Birmingham is around 113 miles from Heathrow, with the drive running north via the M40 through the Chiltern Hills before joining the M42 into the city — typically 110 minutes to around two and a quarter hours depending on traffic. It's genuinely one of our longest standard routes, and one where the value of a fixed fare is most obvious: a two-hour motorway journey at a metered rate could vary substantially depending on conditions, whereas our price is agreed before you set off.
We run this route regularly for business travellers connecting to Birmingham's financial and professional services sector, as well as visitors to the NEC and ICC for exhibitions and conferences. For a journey this length, our executive vehicles offer proper legroom and comfort rather than something built for a short airport hop.
