Atherstone to East Midlands Airport is 25.3 miles and takes between 33 and 36 minutes by road. It is one of the steadiest runs we do, barely changing whatever time you travel. Hampton Travel covers it as pre-booked private hire with a named driver confirmed the night before and a fixed price agreed in writing before you travel.
Measured for each departure time rather than quoted as a single average, because they are not the same journey.

The return from East Midlands Airport to Atherstone is where the hour you land starts to matter. These are measured, not estimated.
| You land at | Drive back to Atherstone | Home by roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 10:00, a morning landing | 36 min | 11:21 |
| 16:00, an afternoon landing | 36 min | 17:21 |
| 19:00, an evening landing | 33 min | 20:18 |
Times allow 45 minutes from wheels-down to being in the car, which covers immigration, bags and the walk out. A late landing means a quieter road, so the drive itself is often faster than the outbound.
If the inbound is delayed we track it and send the driver to the actual landing time, not the one you booked. No waiting charge either way.
We leave Atherstone on the A5 and join at M42 J10. At 25.3 miles it is a longer run. It holds within 3 minutes whatever hour we measure it, so there is no bad time to travel this one.
We work the pickup time back from it and confirm your driver the night before.
