Getting Around Aston
Aston is an inner-city district of Birmingham, about 3 miles north of the city centre, 15–20 minutes by car. Its best-known address is Villa Park, the home ground of Aston Villa. Beside the stadium, Aston Hall, a Jacobean mansion completed in 1635, stands in Aston Park and is run as a museum.
The A38(M) Aston Expressway crosses the district and links the city centre with the M6 at Gravelly Hill, the interchange known as Spaghetti Junction. Aston station is on the Cross-City Line between Lichfield and Redditch, and Witton station is the closest one to Villa Park. Add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.
If your address is close to the ground on a match day, expect crowds on the surrounding streets. Send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. For a working day split between Aston, the city centre and the NEC, booked by the hour, one chauffeur and one vehicle stay with you for the time you reserve.
Airport Transfers in Aston
Birmingham Airport is 14 miles south-east of Aston, 30–40 minutes by car. It works from one terminal, and the NEC exhibition centre sits right next to it, 13 miles from Aston, 30–40 minutes by car. easyJet, which has a base there, opened routes to Inverness on 30 March 2026 and to Nice on 1 May 2026. East Midlands Airport is 38 miles north-east, 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes. The right one depends on your airline and route.
Book with your flight number. For an arrival, your chauffeur checks the flight status and times the pick-up to when you actually land, and your booking confirmation shows where to meet the chauffeur. For a departure from Aston, what counts is the length of the drive, not the time on the clock: the motorway is close, but the interchange at Gravelly Hill can be slow in the rush hours. Journey times vary with traffic and weather. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Groups & Event Travel in Aston
Villa Park brings the biggest crowds to Aston. Its usual capacity is 43,205, but while the North Stand is rebuilt during the 2026/27 season it holds 36,887, and after the works it is due to take more than 50,000. For a corporate hospitality party or a visiting supporters' club, a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats; the vehicle is matched to the load.
When you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation. If guests fly in from different cities on several flights, every arrival gets a transfer of its own.
Plan ahead for home matches and for exhibition weeks at the NEC. Local vehicles and drivers are booked up early for those dates. If your plans go beyond a standard booking, write to support with the dates, addresses, number of passengers, flights and luggage, and the team will arrange it.
