Birmingham Airport sits roughly in the middle of England, which makes it one of the most popular departure points for passengers across the north west. Plenty of Manchester travellers fly from Birmingham every week, whether it is because the route they want is not available from Manchester, the price was better, or the timing simply worked out. Whatever the reason, getting between Birmingham Airport and Manchester should be the easy part of your trip. And with Call a Car, it genuinely is.
We have been running airport transfers across East Manchester since 1970, alongside our local taxi, school run, corporate, and hospital services. Our Birmingham Airport to Manchester taxi service is fully private, door to door, and available at any hour of the day or night. Fixed fare agreed at booking, DBS-checked driver, real-time flight tracking included.
Most passengers travelling from Birmingham Airport to Manchester are doing so after a flight, which means they are already tired before the road journey even begins. The last thing anyone needs at that point is a confusing booking system, a driver who is hard to reach, or a fare that comes out higher than expected. We have structured our Birmingham Airport to Manchester transfer service specifically to remove those frustrations. When you land, your driver is already waiting for you at the arrival gate. If baggage reclaim takes longer than usual or there was a delay on the runway, your driver knows before you even reach the arrivals hall. You walk out, your driver is there, and within a few minutes you are on the M6 heading north towards Manchester.
The drive from Birmingham Airport to Greater Manchester typically takes around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic and where in Manchester you are heading. It is a well-travelled route and our drivers know it well, including which times of day the motorway tends to slow and how to work around it sensibly.
You can book your transfer through our E-Booker, the Call a Car mobile app on iOS and Android, or by ringing us on 0161 320 7117. We recommend booking in advance, particularly for early morning pickups or bank holiday travel when demand is higher.
