Coventry airport benefits from its great location. Not only is it in the centre of England but it is very well connected by major motorways so Car Hire Coventry Airport will be a great choice.

The airport has achieved some notoriety given its small size. It was used to station fighter planes in during the Second World War but was damaged by Luftwaffe bombings. In 1982 the Pope John Paul II paid a six day visit to Britain, flying into Coventry by helicopter and then being transported in the Pope mobile. And in 2004 Warwick County Council tried to get an injunction against Thomsonfly as it said the company had built temporary passenger facilities without planning permission. The council failed to do so.

Thomsonfly used to use Coventry airport but the company ceased its business at the end of last year (2008)  because they had hoped a new terminal would be built at Coventry Airport. It wasn’t.
Currently the airport is in a state of flux as it hopes to stay in the market despite the large loss of business from Thomson and the TUI company. In the meantime customers may want to consider using the nearby Birmingham airport which is only half an hour’s drive away with Car Rental Coventry.

If you are driving to Coventry airport from Birmingham you take the A45 up until the Toll Bar End roundabout and follow signs for the airport and Siskin Parkway West.
The airport is situated at Baginton in Siskin Parkway West and the post code is CV3 4PB for those who may be using a GPS (sat-nav) system to find their way there. It is roughly six kilometres away from Coventry city centre heading south.

Some of the motorways which surround Coventry airport are the M69, M42, M40, M1 and the M6. To get to Coventry city centre from the airport takes about 10 minutes once you have picked up your Rhino hire car Coventry Airport.
