Birmingham Airport is the airport most Malvern people fly from, and it is the trip we drive more than any other. Here is what you need to know to plan it without stress.
How far is it and how long does it take?
Birmingham Airport is about 45 miles from Malvern. The usual route is up to the M5 at Worcester, north to the M42 and off at the airport junction. Most of the time the drive takes around an hour. At rush hour, on Friday afternoons and at the start of school holidays, allow longer.

The fare is fixed when you book, so traffic jams do not change the price. The exact figure depends on your pick-up address and the time of your flight. Call or WhatsApp us for your fixed price.
What time should I leave Malvern?
Airlines usually ask you to be at the airport about two hours before a short flight and three hours before a long-haul flight. Add the hour of driving and a little spare time, and you get these simple rules:
- European flights: leave Malvern about 3 hours before take-off.
- Long-haul flights: leave about 4 hours before take-off.
- Very early flights: roads are quiet, but still keep the same margin. We work 24/7, so a 3am pick-up is no problem.
Luggage and passengers
Our Volkswagen Passat takes up to 4 passengers. The boot fits two large suitcases plus hand luggage. If you are travelling with more bags, golf clubs or a child seat, tell us when you book so we can plan for it.
Coming home
When you book your return, send us your flight number. We plan your pick-up around the real landing time, not just the timetable, so a delayed flight does not leave you stranded. Allow time to get through passport control and collect your bags before you meet your driver.
Is a taxi better than the train or parking?
The train from Malvern to Birmingham International means changes and carrying bags between platforms. Airport parking for a week or two can cost as much as the taxi, and you still have to drive yourself home after a long flight. For families and anyone with heavy luggage, a door to door taxi is usually the easiest option.
