Tips

Before you set off

M42 junction 6

The airport is just off junction 6 of the M42, with links to the M6, M40 and M5 a short drive away.

Birmingham Clean Air Zone

The city centre inside the A4540 Middleway ring road is a Clean Air Zone. Most modern hire cars meet the standard, but check before you drive in.

The M6 Toll

Heading north towards Stoke or Manchester, the M6 Toll is a paid alternative to the often congested M6 around Birmingham.

Rail station next door

The free Air-Rail Link connects the terminal with Birmingham International station - handy if part of your group arrives by train.
