Why Book a Group Airport Transfer?

When travelling with family, friends or colleagues, a group airport transfer makes much more sense than multiple taxis or trying to arrange lifts. A single minibus can carry your entire group plus luggage, arriving together and avoiding the stress of coordinating multiple vehicles. It is also significantly cheaper per person than individual taxis, especially from destinations further afield like Stoke-on-Trent, Lincoln, Northampton or Shrewsbury.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book an airport transfer?

We recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance. For peak travel periods (school holidays, Christmas, summer), book 3-4 weeks ahead. Most operators accept bookings up to 48 hours before travel.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Most professional operators monitor flight arrivals and will adjust your pickup time accordingly at no extra charge. Always provide your flight number when booking so the operator can track it.

Can I book a return airport transfer?

Yes. Most operators offer discounted rates when you book both outbound and return transfers together. This is the most convenient option as you have transport arranged for both ends of your trip.

Which airport should I use in the Midlands?

Birmingham Airport is the larger of the two with more international routes and is best for groups based in the West Midlands, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire. East Midlands Airport serves Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and the surrounding areas and has a strong selection of European and charter flights.
