What to expect
Dropped at the gate, collected after.
The NEC’s halls span a mile end to end; your booking states the hall number, and the driver uses the matching drop-off loop — N or S car park side.
Return staged, not hoped for
The pickup point and time are agreed before you go in — and adjusted live if the day runs long.
One car, any party size
A couple in a saloon or 8 in a van — the same booking, the same fixed price per journey.
Door to door, fixed
Any address to The NEC at a price agreed in advance — no meter, no parking question.
The fleet
The NEC from £47.
Six classes, one standard of care. Saloon, one way, off-peak. Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book. Once you book, the price never changes.

Travel notes
Good to know about The NEC.
Getting dropped off
The NEC’s halls span a mile end to end; your booking states the hall number, and the driver uses the matching drop-off loop — N or S car park side.
Worth knowing
Show mornings queue from the M42 junctions themselves — an 8am arrival beats a 9:30 one by forty minutes of crawl, every show, every year.
For exhibitors
Stand materials travel in our estates and MPVs, and build-up day access differs from show days — we confirm the current gate plan with the venue.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
Build-up vs show days
Exhibitor access on build-up day differs from show days; we confirm the current gate plan with the venue so stand kit arrives where it should.
The The NEC run, planned properly
Chauffeur transfers to the NEC — the UK’s biggest exhibition estate, beside Birmingham Airport, served from London and the Midlands daily. The pattern is the one P5 applies everywhere: a fixed fare agreed before you travel, a driver briefed on this venue specifically, and a return that is planned rather than improvised at the kerb.
The NEC’s halls span a mile end to end; your booking states the hall number, and the driver uses the matching drop-off loop — N or S car park side. Show mornings queue from the M42 junctions themselves — an 8am arrival beats a 9:30 one by forty minutes of crawl, every show, every year.
From Birmingham Airport, allow 10–20 min on a typical day — your driver plans around live traffic and the venue’s own calendar. Vehicles run from an everyday saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
