Airport Transportation in Bristol
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Bristol Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in Bristol takes you from Lulsgate to hotels and homes in the city center, Clifton and the Harbourside, to Bristol Temple Meads station, and on to Bath, Weston-super-Mare and the villages of North Somerset.
Bristol Airport Transfers
Bristol airport transfers start in the arrivals hall of the single terminal, where your driver meets you with a name sign after baggage claim and customs and walks you to the car at the Transport Interchange. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price for your vehicle is fixed before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.
Each Bristol airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or vacation rental in Bristol, to Temple Meads for your train, or to Bath and Weston-super-Mare. Going on to Cardiff, Cheltenham or a village in the Cotswolds? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered and the vehicles for your party before you pay.
Bristol Airport Shuttle
Our Bristol airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not the Airport Flyer bus or a shared coach that stops along the way. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and golf clubs, and suits families, groups and travelers headed for Bath or Somerset.
Landing at Bristol Airport
Bristol Airport (BRS) is at Lulsgate Bottom in North Somerset, southwest of Bristol, and all flights use one terminal. There are no jet bridges, so you walk or take a bus from the aircraft to the terminal.
Flights from outside the UK and Ireland arrive at the immigration hall, where eligible passport holders can use the eGates and others wait in line at the staffed desks; flights from elsewhere in the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands normally skip it. Everyone collects bags in the same baggage hall and walks through customs into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers. Cars wait at the Transport Interchange, a short walk from the terminal.
The UK is on Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) and switches to British Summer Time (UTC+1) from late March to late October. It uses pounds sterling.
UK ETA
Most visitors who do not need a visa, including EU and US citizens, need an approved UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before they board; British and Irish citizens do not. Check the rules for your passport on GOV.UK before you fly.
Bristol, England
This page is for Bristol Airport (BRS) in England, not Tri-Cities Airport (TRI) near Bristol, Tennessee, so check the code on your ticket.
No roadside pickups
Cars cannot stop on the airport roads, and the airport enforces its Red Routes, so your car waits in the Drop Off & Pick Up area of the Transport Interchange.
Pounds and cards
The UK uses pounds sterling, and cards and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere.

Meet your representative
At the meeting point in your confirmation. Check the company name before getting in.

Go straight there
No other stops, no other passengers.
Meet in the arrivals hall
Bristol has one terminal, and pre-booked drivers meet passengers in its arrivals hall after baggage claim and customs.
Walk to the Transport Interchange
Cars cannot stop on the airport roads, so drivers park in the Drop Off & Pick Up parking garage on the Transport Interchange, a 3 to 5 minute walk from the terminal.
Don't accept a ride from someone claiming to know your booking. Check the company name and reservation details before getting in.

Where will my driver meet me at Bristol Airport?
In the arrivals hall of the single terminal, holding a sign with your name, after baggage claim and customs. Cars cannot stop on the airport roads, so your driver then walks you to the vehicle at the Transport Interchange, a few minutes away.

Bristol Airport is about 8 miles (13 km) southwest of Bristol city center, usually about half an hour by road outside rush hour. Weston-super-Mare is roughly 12 miles away, Bath roughly 20 miles, and Cardiff roughly 45 to 50 miles, across the Severn.
Is this page for Bristol, England?
Yes. This page books rides from Bristol Airport (BRS) in England. Bristol, Tennessee, in the US is served by Tri-Cities Airport (TRI), so check the code on your ticket.
Can you take me to Bristol Temple Meads station?
Yes. We drive you to Temple Meads for trains to London, Bath, Cardiff and the rest of the country. Give us your train time when you book.
Can you take me to Bath?
Yes. We drive door to door to hotels, apartments and vacation rentals in Bath. Many central streets are narrow or restricted, so give your full address and your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.
Can you take me to Weston-super-Mare?
Yes. We drive to hotels, homes and vacation parks in Weston-super-Mare and along the North Somerset coast.
Can you take me to Cardiff?
Cardiff is in Wales, across the Severn. Enter the address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Does Bristol Airport have more than one terminal?
No. All flights use one terminal, so there is no terminal to choose and every driver meets passengers in the same arrivals hall.
Do you drive to vacation rentals and private homes?
Yes. Give the full street address with the postcode and any access details, such as a gate code or a farm track, so your driver finds the door.
Do you pick up from late-night or early-morning flights?
Yes. Book with your flight number and your driver is there for the landing time, including the first and last flights of the day.
Should I take a ride from people offering one inside Bristol Airport?
There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you in arrivals, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.
What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?
We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking so the pickup can be moved.
Can I book a ride back to Bristol Airport?
Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel or home, and give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup is set for check-in and security.
Is Airport Transportation the same as Bristol Airport?
