Coaches typically £390* · Minibuses typically £190*
Per vehicle, one way: coaches for journeys of under 15 miles, minibuses to Birmingham city centre. * Includes the airport’s permit, parking or drop-off charge for a normal pick-up or drop-off. Waiting time rates may apply. Prices are subject to the time of year, the time of day and availability.
Two ways to drop off. Premium Set Down sits right outside the terminal at £8 for the first 15 minutes — a one-minute walk with the bags. Or use the Drop Off car park, free for the first 10 minutes, a 5–10 minute covered walk (or a free bus) to the doors, with no return inside an hour. Both are barrierless now: cameras read your plate and you pay within 24 hours, online or at a machine. For pick-ups the airport points you to Car Park 5. Satnav for the lot: B26 3QJ.
