East Midlands Airport transfers
East Midlands Airport Transfers from Warwick and Leamington Spa
A northbound route to a compact single-terminal airport, arranged in advance with a departure time agreed around your flight.
The route
Travelling to East Midlands Airport
East Midlands is a practical alternative to Birmingham for a number of holiday and short-haul destinations, and some routes only operate from there. The terminal is compact, which many passengers find less stressful than a larger airport.
From Warwickshire the journey is a northbound run — longer than Birmingham, considerably shorter than the London airports. We suggest a collection time based on your flight, the distance from your address and the time of day, and agree it with you before confirming.
As with our other airport work, the booking is not confirmed until we have checked availability and price and come back to you.
Pickups can be arranged from
- Warwick and surrounding addresses
- Royal Leamington Spa
- Kenilworth
- Whitnash and Heathcote
- Leek Wootton and Hatton
- Barford and Hampton Magna
Other communities within about seven miles of Warwick are welcome to enquire.
Route notes
What to consider for East Midlands Airport
Northbound routing
The journey heads north from Warwickshire. The drive is longer than Birmingham but well short of the London airports.
Compact airport
The terminal is small compared with Birmingham or Heathrow, which some passengers prefer for check-in and boarding.
Holiday and short-haul routes
Short-haul and holiday flights can have early departure slots, requiring an early collection from Warwickshire.
Group departures
A 6 or 8-seater keeps a family or group together with their cases rather than splitting across two vehicles.
Accessible transfers
Accessible vehicles can be arranged for this route subject to requirements and availability, discussed in advance.
Vehicle size and luggage
Two passengers with a case each will normally suit a 4-seater. Larger groups with hold cases are better served by a 6 or 8-seater.
Let us know about pushchairs, sports equipment or mobility aids so the vehicle we confirm has room for everything.
Planning the departure
We suggest a departure time based on the distance, the hour of travel and your flight time, then agree it with you before the booking is confirmed.
Early-morning collections should be arranged as far ahead as your plans allow and remain subject to availability.
Return journeys
Return collections from East Midlands are welcome and best arranged with the outbound leg.
Send the flight number, arrival time and whether you have hold luggage. Collection arrangements, waiting terms and return details are confirmed for each booking.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Why choose East Midlands over Birmingham?
Some airlines and destinations only operate from East Midlands, and the terminal is compact, which some passengers prefer. If both airports serve your route, we are happy to quote either.
How long is the drive from Warwick?
It is a northbound run, longer than Birmingham but shorter than the London airports. We suggest a departure time when we confirm your booking.
Does East Midlands have multiple terminals?
No, it uses a single passenger terminal, so you will not need a terminal number — just your flight number and departure time.
Are early departures common?
Yes, particularly on short-haul and holiday routes, so many of these transfers start early in the morning from Warwickshire.
Can you collect us on our return?
Yes. Give us the flight number, arrival time and whether you have hold luggage, and we will agree a collection point and time beforehand.
