Bulkington to Birmingham Airport is 17.6 miles and takes between 25 and 29 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.

For a 07:00 departure from Birmingham Airport we would collect you from Bulkington at about 04:30 for a short-haul flight, or 03:30 for long haul. That allows the measured drive plus the standard advice to arrive two hours before short haul and three before long haul.

Short enough that the drive back is rarely the problem. Getting out of Birmingham Airport usually takes longer than the road to Bulkington does.

Allowing 45 minutes from landing to being in the car, a 17.6 mile run puts most people home inside the hour and a half.
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 Bulkington on the B4029 and join at M6 J2. At 17.6 miles it is a short run. It holds within 4 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.
