A guide to parking at Birmingham international airport

There is plenty of parking available at Birmingham international airport and as with most airports, it ranges in price and convenience. If you don't want the hassle of parking at the airport, taking a cab can be an easier, and not always a more expensive option.

Parking options

Birmingham International airport, UK (BHX) parking facilities are extensive and you will always be able to find a space. The BHX airport guide website explains the different options ranging from valet to economy. Valet The most expensive airport parking is the valet service where someone will pick up your car from you at the departures drop-off and return it to you when you fly back. All you have to do is give them your flight information and they will arrange the rest. You can even get them to wash your car for you while you are away. Economy At the other end of the scale is economy parking where you park in one of the large off-site car parks and get a shuttle bus to the airport. The shuttles run regularly and this is a good option, although the cost can still add up pretty quickly if you are away for a few nights.

Taxi to aiport

If you don't want to deal with parking, then the other option is to take a cab to the airport. Depending on how far you are traveling and how many people are are in your party, this can actually be cheaper than paying for parking.

Airport taxis are the most expensive, so you are best to book in advance from a private hire firm. Compare prices for cab travel from your location and see if you can strike a deal. The time of day you are traveling can push prices up, as can the size of taxi you will need.
