Taxi to Bristol Airport
Bristol Airport is at Lulsgate in North Somerset, about eight miles south-west of Bristol city centre on the A38. It has one passenger terminal. There is no railway station at the airport and the main road in is a single route, the A38, so a door-to-door car is the most direct way to get there, especially with luggage or for an early flight.
Allow about two hours before a short-haul flight and three before long-haul, unless your airline says otherwise. Traffic leaving Bristol on the A38 can be slow at rush hour, so build in a margin if your pickup is then.
Taxi from Bristol Airport
When you book a taxi from Bristol Airport, the driver meets you inside arrivals with your name on a board. Your flight is tracked and the first hour after landing is free.
Bristol Airport Taxi vs the Airport Bus
An express bus runs between the airport and Bristol city centre, including Temple Meads station. It is the cheaper option for one person with light luggage. A taxi makes more sense from Bath, Weston-super-Mare, South Wales or anywhere off the bus route, or for families, groups and late arrivals.
| Pre-booked taxi | Airport bus | Taxi rank | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price known in advance | Yes, fixed | Yes | No, metered |
| Door to door | Yes | No | Yes |
| Waits for a late flight | 1 hour free after landing | No | N/A |
| Luggage | Choose the car size | Limited space | Depends on car |
