Coleshill to Portsmouth International is 151.0 miles and takes between 165 and 183 minutes by road. Timing matters on this one: there is 18 minutes between the quickest and slowest hour. 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.
| Leave Coleshill at | Drive time | Route |
|---|---|---|
| 04:00 | 165 min | Clear roads |
| 07:00 | 183 min | A446 / M6 J4 |
| 10:00 | 169 min | A446 / M6 J4 |
| 16:00 | 173 min | A446 / M6 J4 |
| 19:00 | 167 min | A446 / M6 J4 |
That 18 minute spread is the difference between comfortable and tight, and on this route it is the 07:00 hour that costs you the extra 18 minutes.
For a 07:00 departure from Portsmouth International we would collect you from Coleshill at about 02:10 for a short-haul flight, or 01:10 for long haul. That allows the measured drive plus the standard advice to arrive two hours before short haul and three before long haul.
| If your flight leaves | Type | At the ferry port by | We collect you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 07:00 | Short haul | 05:00 | 02:10 |
| 07:00 | Long haul | 04:00 | 01:10 |
| 11:00 | Short haul | 09:00 | 06:10 |
Worked examples for a 07:00 departure. Give us the real flight time and the whole table shifts with it.
At 151.0 miles this is a long drive at the end of a flight, so the landing hour changes the arrival home considerably.
| You land at | Drive back to Coleshill | Home by roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 10:00, a morning landing | 169 min | 13:34 |
| 16:00, an afternoon landing | 173 min | 19:38 |
| 19:00, an evening landing | 167 min | 22:32 |
Times allow 45 minutes from landing to being in the car. On a run this length an evening arrival means most of the drive is on empty motorway, which is why the late figures are not the worst ones.
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 Coleshill on the A446 and join at M6 J4. At 151.0 miles it is a long-distance journey. The slowest hour we have measured on it is 07:00 at 183 minutes, against 165 at 04:00. That is the window to plan around.
We work the pickup time back from it and confirm your driver the night before.
