How long is the transfer from Birmingham Airport to Bristol Airport?

Approximately 2h 12min for the 103 miles route via the M5, M42, traffic depending. Your driver plans a buffer around your check-in time.

How much does it cost?

Fixed prices from £206 (up to 3 passengers) or £361 (7-seat van) — agreed before you book, unchanged after.

What if my flight is delayed?

Your driver tracks the flight and adjusts the pickup automatically. 60 minutes of waiting after landing are free.

Is there a direct train between the airports?

No — there is no direct rail link on this corridor. Public transport means multiple connections with luggage; the private car is the only direct option.

Can you collect from a Bristol address instead?

Yes — the same service runs from any Bristol home, hotel or office to Birmingham Airport, at the same fixed-price principle.

How much time should I allow between flights?

We recommend a minimum of 3 hours between landing at one airport and your departure slot at the other, to allow for the transfer, check-in and security.

Can I bring golf clubs, a buggy or extra luggage?

Yes — golf bags, buggies and additional luggage travel free. Let us know at booking so we can assign a vehicle with enough boot space.

Why not just fly from Bristol Airport instead?

Often you should — BRS covers most of Europe from a single compact terminal 8 miles from the city. This corridor exists for the routes it does not fly: long-haul, connecting itineraries and the occasional fare that makes the drive worth it.

About Birmingham Airport

A private transfer from Birmingham Airport to Bristol Airport covers 103 miles via the M5, M42 in approximately 2h 12min. Fixed prices start from £206, with flight tracking and a meet & greet driver included.

Connecting between Bristol Airport and Birmingham Airport (BHX) — the Midlands hub beside the NEC — is exactly the journey a pre-booked private car does best: your driver tracks the inbound flight, meets you at arrivals, and drives terminal-to-terminal in around 2h 12min with no luggage-dragging between stations.

Birmingham Airport sits beside the NEC and Birmingham International station, off the M42 east of the city. Birmingham Airport — the Midlands hub beside the NEC — serves destinations that Bristol Airport doesn't, which makes the road link between the two a staple for connecting passengers, diverted flights and split-airport itineraries. The 103 miles drive via the M5, M42 is the reliable way to bridge it, and it removes the need to navigate a second airport's public transport system with luggage in hand.

The route runs via the M5, M42, taking around 2h 12min to cover the real 103 miles road distance. Your driver plans the departure around real traffic and your check-in time — with a safety buffer for security queues at BHX, whether your pickup is in central Bristol or out toward West Midlands. There is no shuttle bus or rail interchange to manage — one car handles the whole route.

Travellers visiting the region also book all airport connections, our fleet & prices, the Bristol Airport guide and business accounts with monthly invoicing from Bristol Airport.

Birmingham Airport to Bristol Airport in every season

Holiday peaks load the M5 predictably — your driver builds the buffer in. The fixed price is the same on Christmas morning as on a wet Tuesday. Connections tighten around school-holiday getaways and bank holiday weekends, when both airports run near capacity and a missed connection is costliest — a flight-tracked private transfer removes the guesswork of a public-transport connection at exactly those times.

Birmingham Airport to Bristol Airport Transfer Price

Fixed prices start from £206 for up to 3 passengers, £361 for a 7-seat van, calculated from the real 103 miles driven between the two airports. The price includes flight tracking on both ends, waiting time and all luggage — there's no per-bag fee and no surcharge for an early or late connection. For a family or small group, splitting one van fare is usually cheaper than several coach or rail tickets plus the taxi needed at each end.
