Where Your Driver Meets You at Birmingham
Birmingham has one terminal. Your driver waits in arrivals, then walks you to the car in Car Park 1, a minute away. Parking is our cost, not yours.
Red dot = your driver’s meeting point in arrivals
- BHX
Arrivals hall
Your driver waits in arrivals with a board showing your name.
We follow your flight, so the driver is inside before you come through, even if you land early. - CAB
Not the black cab rank
Walk past the rank outside; your driver is already waiting for you.
The rank just outside the terminal is for metered black cabs. Your pre-booked car is separate and parks in Car Park 1, opposite the terminal, about a minute’s walk away.
Dropping someone off yourself? Premium Set Down by the terminal costs £8 for up to 15 minutes and is for drop-offs only. The Drop Off car park, about 400 metres away along a covered walkway, gives the first 10 minutes free. Stopping on the red routes around the airport can bring a £100 charge. More in our UK airport drop-off charges guide.

Late arrivalAfter the Air-Rail Link stops
