Pick-up in Cardiff Airport, drop-off at NEC Birmingham
Pick-up is in the arrivals hall at Cardiff Airport: the driver holds a name board, the flight is tracked and 45 minutes of waiting is included, so you go from the gate to NEC Birmingham without a queue for the rank. 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.
At 116 miles this is a 2.8-4.0 hrs drive in normal conditions. Event-day queues are the driver’s problem, not yours: the fare is fixed either way.
NEC Birmingham to Cardiff Airport: the journey home
NEC Birmingham to Cardiff Airport 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; for a flight home we time the departure from the venue around your check-in, and the driver drops you at the terminal door. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.
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 Cardiff Airport 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.
