Royal Leamington Spa to Birmingham Airport is 24.7 miles and takes between 30 and 41 minutes by road. Timing matters on this one: there is 11 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.

That 11 minute spread is the difference between comfortable and tight, and on this route it is the 16:00 hour that costs you the extra 11 minutes.
