Birmingham Airport Taxi Pricing (BHX)
Taxi fares at Birmingham Airport (BHX) are generally metered for the official black cabs at the airport rank, using the local hackney carriage tariff (so there aren’t “fixed airport rates” for rank taxis). You’ll find these licensed black cabs at the official taxi rank directly outside the terminal, operated by Complete Taxi Management UK—no booking required.
Because the tariff changes by time/day (e.g., day vs night/weekend) and the meter can be affected by traffic and waiting time, the final price can vary. As a rough guide, a ride to Birmingham city centre is often estimated around £35 on average, with higher totals possible at peak times. If you prefer price certainty, private-hire providers can offer pre-booked fixed fares (BHX lists official options for quotes and bookings).
Not taking a taxi? The free Air-Rail Link connects the terminal to Birmingham International Station in about 2 minutes and operates 03:30–00:30 daily, making train travel into the city quick and simple.
