Book Your Nottingham to East Midlands Airport Transfer
East Midlands is Nottingham’s home airport — about 14 miles away and typically a 30 to 40 minute journey, which makes it the one route where “chauffeur service” might sound like overkill. Until you actually compare it to driving yourself and paying for two weeks of holiday parking. For short-haul leisure flights to Spain, Portugal, Greece, Ireland and the Canaries — EMA’s biggest routes. We’re often cheaper than parking once you factor in the whole trip, and there’s no lugging cases across a car park at 4am.
Because it’s such a short hop, EMA is also where we do the most early-morning and last-minute bookings. If your flight’s moved or you’ve decided at short notice, this is the route we can usually still accommodate on the day.
Best for: short-haul holiday flights, early starts where you don’t want to drive yourself, and last-minute bookings.

Is it worth booking a chauffeur for such a short airport run?
For a lot of clients, yes — once you compare it to two weeks of EMA holiday parking plus the hassle of getting yourself there for a 4am flight, the cost difference narrows considerably, and you skip the car park walk entirely.
Can you do same-day or early-morning EMA bookings?
This is the route where we're most flexible on notice, given how short the journey is — get in touch and we'll do what we can, even for early starts.
Does Alpine Chauffeurs collect from anywhere near East Midlands Airport, not just central Nottingham?
Yes — we cover Nottingham and the surrounding areas, so if you're closer to Castle Donington than the city centre, the journey's even shorter.
