Pick-up in Canterbury, drop-off at NEC Birmingham
Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Canterbury or the Kent towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. At NEC Birmingham we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for exhibitions and shows when the roads around the venue are closed.
Allow 3.9-5.5 hrs for the 166-mile drive, more on the day of a big fixture. For a fixed start time we build in a buffer and confirm the pick-up time with you.
NEC Birmingham to Canterbury: the journey home
NEC Birmingham to Canterbury is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. Book both legs together and the driver waits at the agreed meeting point at the end of exhibitions and shows, however late it runs; the driver takes you back to your door in Canterbury. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.
For the trip back to Canterbury, give us the pickup point at or near NEC Birmingham and a time; the fare is fixed when you book, not when you get in.
What does a taxi from NEC Birmingham to Canterbury cost?
A saloon from NEC Birmingham to Canterbury is a fixed £428, the same as the Canterbury to NEC Birmingham fare, for about 166 miles. Booked together, both legs cost £770.
Event days at NEC Birmingham
For exhibitions and shows we plan around the venue, not the postcode: the drop-off point that is actually open, the corner we meet on afterwards, and a departure time that beats the car-park queue. An 8-seater takes the whole group from Canterbury for little more than two saloons, and a wait-and-return price keeps the same driver on site for the day. Late finishes are normal for us; the fare is the same at 1am.
