Landing at Gatwick Airport and heading for Bristol? It is 134 miles by road, roughly 2 hr 35 min to 2 hr 55 min, and a driver waiting in arrivals removes the part of the day most people dread — luggage, connections and a station you have never used.

The journey

The 134-mile run to Bristol

  1. Arrivals

    Meet and greet in the arrivals hall of the North or South Terminal, whichever your airline uses. If the flight moves, the pickup moves with it — you are not paying for a car that left without you.

  2. The road

    The route runs M25 to M4 west — 134 miles in total, around 2 hr 35 min to 2 hr 55 min depending on traffic and time of day. One driver, one car, no changes and no connections to miss.

  3. On the way

    One stop at Leigh Delamere if the day started early. At 134 miles this is a single-leg run for most passengers, though we will stop whenever you ask.

  4. Arrival

    We drop wherever you need in and around Bristol — Bristol city centre, Temple Meads, Aztec West and Bristol Airport are all regular destinations. Door to door, with luggage carried to the entrance.

Meeting you

Arrivals, tracked

Meet and greet in the arrivals hall of the North or South Terminal, whichever your airline uses. We track your flight from take-off, so if you land early or late the pickup time moves with it. The two terminals are two miles apart and linked by a shuttle, so being dropped at the wrong one means an unplanned transfer with your luggage.

Every booking

What your fare covers

  • A fixed price agreed before you travel, which does not change if the roads are slow.
  • A licensed, CRB-checked chauffeur who is trained, insured and smartly presented.
  • Help with luggage at both ends, not just an unlocked boot.
  • Flight tracking, so your pickup time follows your actual landing time.
  • Comfort stops on the way where you want them — one stop at leigh delamere if the day started early.
  • The option of a return leg booked at the same time, quoted together.

Gatwick Airport to Bristol: your questions

How long does it take to get from Gatwick Airport to Bristol by taxi?

2 hr 35 min to 2 hr 55 min, covering 134 miles. The lower figure is a clear run; the higher one allows for peak-time traffic.

How much is a taxi from Gatwick Airport to Bristol?

We quote a fixed price before you book, based on the vehicle class and the time of travel, and it does not change if the traffic is bad. Call 01483 310310 or send the journey details through the booking form for a firm figure.

Where exactly do you drop off at Bristol?

Directly at your destination address in Bristol. A straight M4 run with no changes. Business travellers use it when a same-day return would otherwise mean two awkward rail connections at Reading.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track it. Your driver's pickup time moves with the flight, so a delay does not mean a missed car or a second fare. For departures, tell us your flight and we work the pickup back from it.

Can I book a return journey from Bristol?

Yes — returns are booked at the same time as the outbound and quoted together. Most Gatwick Airport customers book both legs at once, and the same driver often covers them.
