"how much is a taxi to bristol airport" is one of the most common Bristol Airport travel questions — and the honest answer is that price depends on your pickup address, vehicle type, and time of day. Bristol Airport (BRS) at Lulsgate is south of the city on the A38; fares from Clifton or Bedminster are very different from Cardiff, Plymouth, or Gloucester.

Short local runs from Bristol suburbs (Bedminster, Filton, Yate, Keynsham) usually take twenty to thirty-five minutes. Cross-city trips from Bath or Weston-super-Mare are mid-range. Longer transfers from Cardiff, Swansea, Plymouth, or Torquay reflect higher mileage and Severn Bridge toll considerations where applicable.
