The Second City, and Why People Still Drive to Gatwick

Birmingham has its own international airport at Elmdon, ten miles east of the centre, and it covers a great many destinations. Even so, thousands of people head south to Gatwick every week for routes and airlines that only fly from there.

At 153 miles the drive is short by our standards. That makes it the one route where a taxi genuinely competes on convenience with almost anything else. A nine o’clock departure needs a five o’clock pickup rather than an overnight start, and a same day return home is easy.

Getting out of the city is the only part that needs thought. Birmingham traffic is heavy at the wrong hours, so we set pickup times around your flight and pick the route accordingly. We are a fully licensed operator and we run long distance airport taxi work across the West Midlands every week.

The Route from Birmingham to Gatwick Airport

The Birmingham to Gatwick Airport transfer is 153 miles and normally takes two hours and thirty-nine minutes. Your driver picks up the M42 or the M40 depending on where you live, runs south past Warwick and Oxford, then joins the M25 and M23 for the last stretch to the terminals.

The M40 is the key to this route. It is generally quieter than the M1 and it brings you onto the western side of the M25, which usually moves better than the eastern arc. That combination is why the journey comes in under three hours.

Leaving the city is the section we plan around. Depending on the hour, the M42 or a run straight down the M40 will be the faster option, and your driver decides on the morning rather than following a fixed rule. We drop you right outside your terminal.

Birmingham to Gatwick Airport Taxi Prices

One price at booking, and it stays that way. Each fixed fare taxi rate below covers the whole 153 mile journey from your Birmingham address to the North or South Terminal. Fuel, tolls and driver time are already in the figure, so there is no meter and nothing extra at the end.

Vehicle	Passengers	Luggage	Fixed Fare
Economy Saloon	3	3 bags	£199
Executive Saloon	3	3 bags	£230
Luxury Class	3	3 bags	£383
