Milton Keynes to Birmingham airport taxi cost
A taxi from Milton Keynes to Birmingham Airport costs £95 fixed. Price includes the drop-off charge and applies up to 4 passengers in a standard Toyota Corolla Estate.

№ 01 — Why a taxi when there's a train
The train is cheap. The taxi is better for most trips.
We won't pretend: the direct train from Milton Keynes Central to Birmingham International is genuinely good — £6.80 off-peak, 38 minutes, and frequent. If you're solo, travelling light, and your flight is during the day, take the train. The taxi makes more sense when there are 2+ of you (the £95 splits to £47.50 per person), you have hold luggage, your flight is before 6am or after 11pm (the train doesn't run), or you don't want to drag bags across MK Central and the airport's 10-minute walking link.
