The route
From Coventry (CV1, CV2, CV3) the natural line out is the M6 J2 and the M40, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 116 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 2h 20m off-peak becomes 3h 10m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at The O2 Arena
Private hire pickup is next to Car Park 3 on Millennium Way, a short walk from Entrance A. Long-distance arrivals are timed to land 90 minutes before doors so there is room for a comfort stop on the way.
Address: Peninsula Square, Greenwich Peninsula, SE10 0DX.
Pickups across Coventry
Any address in Coventry works, along with the wider CV1, CV2, CV3 area of West Midlands. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.
We cover Coventry and the villages around it across CV1, CV2, CV3, with the M6 J2, M40 as the main way out.
When to leave
Doors are usually an hour before the gig starts. Allowing 3h 10m for the drive from Coventry plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.
Getting back from The O2 Arena
Coming back to Coventry costs the same £218. The driver holds at the pickup point rather than circling, so you are away as soon as you reach the car.

Other journeys from Coventry
EES and your airport transfer
How early should I get to a European airport for my flight home?
ABTA advises arriving at least two hours before departure, because the EES exit check can add time at busy airports.
My flight home might land late because of EES queues. What happens to my transfer?
Give your flight number when you book, so the driver can follow the actual landing time rather than the scheduled one.
How does EES affect the 90/180-day rule?
EES records every entry and exit digitally instead of relying on passport stamps, so days spent in the Schengen area are counted automatically and overstays are flagged.
Do I need ETIAS as well?
Not yet. ETIAS, the EU's separate online travel authorisation, has not launched, so there is nothing to apply for. The EU will announce a start date months in advance; until then, avoid websites that charge for it.
EES is the EU's digital border check for non-EU travellers, fully in use since April 2026. It is not a visa. Checked September 2026; rules can change, so see the EU Travel to Europe site before you travel.
