MAN · Terminals 1, 2 & 3
Manchester Airport is the largest airport outside London and, for many West Midlands travellers, the best long-haul option that does not involve heading south. At around 90 miles from Birmingham it is a comfortable ninety-minute to two-hour run up the M6, and executive travel from Birmingham to Manchester is one of the routes we are asked for most often outside our home airport.
Introduction
Manchester Airport is the largest airport outside London and, for many West Midlands travellers, the best long-haul option that does not involve heading south. At around 90 miles from Birmingham it is a comfortable ninety-minute to two-hour run up the M6, and executive travel from Birmingham to Manchester is one of the routes we are asked for most often outside our home airport.
We cover Terminals 1, 2 and 3 for both drop-off and collection. Terminal 2's expansion has changed the approach and drop-off arrangements considerably, so we confirm your terminal at booking and brief the chauffeur on the correct entrance rather than leaving it to be worked out on the day.

Our Service
The M6 north is not a relaxing drive to make yourself, particularly before a long-haul departure. In an executive Mercedes it becomes ninety minutes of quiet: luggage handled at both ends, climate set to your preference, charging available and a service stop if you want one. You step out at the terminal ready to travel rather than ready for a break.
Birmingham to Manchester is comfortably long enough to be productive. Our executive chauffeur service keeps the cabin quiet and the rear seating clear so you can work, take calls or simply rest. Your chauffeur will plan the route to avoid the worst of the M6 around Stoke and the M56 approach at peak times.
Manchester's three arrivals halls are separate buildings, so being met in the right place matters. With meet and greet your chauffeur waits inside the correct terminal with a name board, assists with luggage and walks you directly to the vehicle instead of directing you across the site to a pickup area.
Manchester's long-haul arrivals frequently land ahead of or behind schedule. We track your flight number and set the chauffeur's departure from the West Midlands against the actual landing time, allowing for immigration and baggage reclaim so the vehicle is in position when you emerge rather than an hour early.
Manchester's route network makes it a practical departure point for West Midlands businesses travelling to North America and the Gulf. We handle these as planned corporate journeys, with fixed pricing, consistent standards and return legs confirmed in advance so an arriving colleague is met rather than left to arrange transport.
Families flying long-haul from Manchester travel with volume: hold cases, hand luggage, pushchairs and car seats. The Executive MPV keeps everything and everyone together for the full journey, with child seating fitted before collection. Confirm ages and case numbers when you enquire and the vehicle is prepared accordingly.
We transfer guests between Manchester Airport and hotels in the West Midlands, and between the airport's own hotel cluster and Terminals 1, 2 and 3 where an overnight stay precedes an early flight. Lobby pickups are straightforward and can be arranged directly or through a hotel concierge.
A corporate account fixes the Birmingham to Manchester rate and removes per-journey administration. Bookings can be placed by a travel desk or PA, carry cost centre and purchase order references, and appear on a single monthly invoice for straightforward reconciliation by your finance team.
Manchester's transatlantic departures often mean leaving the West Midlands before dawn, and its evening arrivals can land close to midnight. Pre-booked journeys are available at any hour, confirmed the day before with the vehicle allocated and the chauffeur briefed on terminal and luggage requirements.
Our Mercedes-Benz executive saloons handle solo and paired travellers with two large cases comfortably, while the Executive MPV covers groups of up to seven with full long-haul luggage. Both are specified for motorway refinement, which is what a ninety-mile M6 run actually demands.
Manchester journeys go to chauffeurs who know the airport site properly — the terminal split, the drop-off charging, and the alternatives when the M6 or M56 is closed. They are licensed, uniformed and briefed on your flight and terminal before setting off from the West Midlands.
Manchester quotes are fixed in writing before travel, covering the chauffeur, the vehicle, the mileage and the terminal drop-off charge. Meet and greet or extra stops are itemised separately. Traffic on the M6 does not change what you pay.
