Searching "how much bristol to airport taxi" usually means you want a clear price before you travel — not a guess at the kerb. A taxi from Bristol city centre to Bristol Airport (BRS) covers roughly 8 miles by road, with typical journey times of 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, time of day, and your exact pickup postcode.
Airport Transfers Taxi lets you book a licensed private hire vehicle online with an upfront fixed quote. Enter your full Bristol city centre address, select Bristol Airport as your destination, choose your date and time, and confirm your vehicle size before you pay.
Typical journey time and route
Most drivers follow A38 south from central Bristol to Lulsgate. Rush-hour delays can add fifteen to twenty-five minutes on weekday mornings and Friday afternoons. For flight connections, allow at least thirty minutes of buffer beyond the typical drive time so check-in stays stress-free.
Bristol Airport sits on a hilltop at Lulsgate, south of Bristol on the A38. The single terminal handles easyJet, Ryanair, Jet2, and TUI among others — summer peaks can make airport access roads busy, so pre-booking helps you plan around that.
How much does the taxi cost?
There is no single flat fare for every Bristol city centre pickup — price depends on your exact postcode, vehicle type (saloon, estate, or MPV), date and time, and whether you need extra stops. Instead of relying on a meter at the rank, book online to see your fixed quote before travel.
The fare you confirm at checkout is what you pay for the agreed route, subject only to changes you request (additional stops, extended waiting beyond any included allowance).
- Saloon cars suit 1–3 passengers with standard luggage
- Estates and MPVs help families, golf bags, or extra suitcases
- Early-morning and late-night pickups are available when pre-booked
- Add your flight number in notes for arrival monitoring where offered
Why pre-book instead of hailing?
Bristol Airport has a taxi rank, but queues build during summer holidays and bank-holiday weekends. Pre-booking means your driver is allocated in advance, with pickup instructions and a confirmed price — especially useful when travelling from Bristol city centre with luggage or a tight flight schedule.
