If you searched "how much is a taxi from bristol airport to cardiff", you probably want to know what a Bristol Airport taxi to Cardiff will cost before you land. The road distance is roughly 45 miles, with typical journey times of 50–70 minutes once you are on the road — plus a few minutes to reach the pre-booked pickup point after baggage reclaim.
Airport Transfers Taxi offers fixed-price private hire from Bristol Airport (BRS). Enter the airport as your pickup, add your Cardiff destination with full postcode, and review your quote before payment.
Pickup at Bristol Airport
Pre-booked minicabs use the signed private hire pickup area at Bristol Airport — not the on-site hackney rank. When you book, add your flight number so dispatch can monitor delays where possible. After landing, follow airport signage to the pre-booked taxi collection point and keep your booking confirmation handy.
Summer peak season and Friday evening arrivals are the busiest windows. Having a confirmed driver removes the uncertainty of joining a rank queue with tired passengers and heavy bags.
Journey to Cardiff
Drivers usually take M4 westbound, then the M32 and A38 to the airport. Traffic around the M32, Cumberland Basin, and central Bristol can add time during rush hour. If you are connecting to a train at Temple Meads or a meeting in the city, mention your deadline in the booking notes.
What affects the fare?
Price depends on your exact Cardiff postcode, vehicle size, time of day, and any extra stops. Fixed online quotes lock in the fare for your booked route — you see the total before you travel rather than watching a meter climb through Bristol traffic.
