Meet and greet with a name board on every airport collection

We collect from anywhere in B93 and drop at the terminal doors. Coming home, your chauffeur is in the arrivals hall with a name board and the first 60 minutes after landing are free.
Knowle is served by Dorridge and Widney Manor, but for an early departure or a late landing the door-to-terminal car is almost always the simpler option: no parking, no shuttle bus, no change at New Street with a fortnight of luggage.
From here we normally use the A4141, the B4101 and junction 5 of the M42, and your chauffeur checks which of them is moving before setting off.
