Price your transfer
What is included
- A private vehicle for your group. No sharing, no other stops.
- A fixed price with tolls and taxes in. Nothing is added at the end.
- Flight tracking. Land late and the pick-up moves, not the price.
- 60 minutes of free waiting after the flight lands.
- Free cancellation until 24 hours before pick-up.
- One suitcase and one bag per passenger. More than that, tell us when you book.
The journey
Forty-five minutes east, longer than the distance suggests because of the road. Bath's centre has strict traffic rules and many hotels are on streets with no parking, so the driver drops you at the door and moves on.
Arriving at Bristol Airport
Bristol Airport sits on high ground south-west of the city, which gives it a reputation for fog and a single winding road down into Bristol. It is the airport for the West Country, for Bath and for south Wales across the Severn bridges.
- The airport road is single carriageway for most of the way down. Allow more time than the distance suggests, especially in the evening.
- Bath is forty-five minutes away and has no airport of its own — this is where visitors land.
- Cardiff is just over an hour, across the Severn. The bridge toll no longer applies, which changed the maths for this route.
How long it really takes
Maps says 44 minutes. That is the driving. Door to door from the moment you land is a different number, and it is the one worth planning around.
Realistically, 74 to 119 minutes after landing. If someone is waiting for you, that is the number to give them.
When to book
Booking early costs the same as booking late — the price does not move. What moves is whether there is a car left.
Cancellation is free until 24 hours before, so booking early costs you nothing if the plan changes.
