Bristol to Exeter Airport Taxi
from £139 fixed
A pre-booked taxi from Bristol to Exeter starts at £139 fixed for a saloon car, up to 4 passengers, and takes about 1 hour 20 minutes door to door via the M5. The price is set before you travel and doesn't move with traffic, fuel prices or the time you set off.
Why fixed-price matters on the Bristol → Exeter run
Search "Bristol to Exeter taxi" and you'll find quote calculators offering a ballpark estimate that can shift once you actually try to lock in a time, a car size and a real pickup address. That's not a price you can hold anyone to. Our £139 is the confirmed saloon fare before you travel, and it stays the same whether the M5 is clear or the A38 is crawling.
Fare-estimator sites show a ballpark for this route that isn't tied to a real car, a real driver or your actual flight, and it's common for the figure to move once a driver is assigned. £139 is what our booking system quotes and what you pay. Returning from Exeter to Bristol is the same fixed £139, and a 5am start costs the same as a 5pm one.

When to book your pickup
The drive is about 1 hour 20 minutes, mostly the M5 southbound past Taunton and into Devon, then onto the A30 or A38 depending on where in Exeter you're headed. If this is an airport pickup we track your flight, so the car is timed to when you actually land, with 45 minutes of free waiting included.
Things Bristol travellers tell us
- 01 Catching a connecting train? We drop at the Exeter St Davids forecourt, a common combination for onward rail into Devon and Cornwall
- 02 University term start and end bring extra luggage — an estate or MPV handles a term's worth of belongings better than a saloon
- 03 The Exeter Airport area is covered at the same fare as the city centre, just mention the terminal when you book
- 04 For term-time weekends or an early flight connection, booking the day before means the car and driver are confirmed rather than left to the day
