In short
The journey from London City to Birmingham is 135 miles and takes 2 hr 35 min to 3 hours by road, via M25 to M40.
We collect from London City Airport and drive directly to Birmingham, 135 miles and about 2 hr 35 min to 3 hours. Your flight is tracked, so a delay moves the pickup rather than costing you the car.
The journey
Compact single terminal — your driver meets you a few steps from baggage reclaim. If the flight moves, the pickup moves with it — you are not paying for a car that left without you.
The route runs M25 to M40 — 135 miles in total, around 2 hr 35 min to 3 hours depending on traffic and time of day. One driver, one car, no changes and no connections to miss.
Usually run without a stop; Warwick services if wanted. At 135 miles this is a single-leg run for most passengers, though we will stop whenever you ask.
We drop wherever you need in and around Birmingham — Birmingham city centre, the NEC, Birmingham Airport and the Jewellery Quarter are all regular destinations. Door to door, with luggage carried to the entrance.
Meeting you
Compact single terminal — your driver meets you a few steps from baggage reclaim. We track your flight from take-off, so if you land early or late the pickup time moves with it. It sits inside the ULEZ in the Royal Docks and is built for business travellers: check-in to gate can be under twenty minutes, which changes how late you can safely leave Surrey.

On the road
In their words
“Booked a chauffeur for an early airport run and the car was outside five minutes before pickup. Smooth, quiet journey and the driver knew the fastest route around the roadworks.”
“We use XLNC Cars for client visits regularly. The vehicles are always spotless and the drivers are properly turned out — it reflects well on us, not just them.”
“Hired the VIP car for a wedding and it made the whole day feel special. Punctual, professional, and the driver waited patiently through the photos.”
Good to know
2 hr 35 min to 3 hours, covering 135 miles. The lower figure is a clear run; the higher one allows for peak-time traffic.
We quote a fixed price before you book, based on the vehicle class and the time of travel, and it does not change if the traffic is bad. Call 01483 310310 or send the journey details through the booking form for a firm figure.
Directly at your destination address in Birmingham. The NEC is the usual reason. Exhibition traffic means kit, samples and stands that will not go on a train, and the car goes to the hall door rather than the station.
We track it. Your driver's pickup time moves with the flight, so a delay does not mean a missed car or a second fare. For departures, tell us your flight and we work the pickup back from it.
Yes — returns are booked at the same time as the outbound and quoted together. Most London City Airport customers book both legs at once, and the same driver often covers them.
