Bristol to Newquay Airport Taxi
from £342 fixed
A pre-booked taxi from Bristol to Newquay starts at £342.00 fixed for a saloon car, up to 4 passengers, and takes about 2 hours 56 minutes door to door via the M5 and A30. It's a long run down into Cornwall, so the fixed price and a confirmed driver matter more here than on a short hop, especially if you're connecting to or from Newquay Airport.
Why fixed-price matters on the Bristol → Newquay run
Morning price, checked September 2026. Quote tools for a run this long tend to show ballpark estimates from around £250, and on nearly three hours of driving there's a lot of room for that number to move once you add a real pickup time, a real car size and the actual address. Our £342.00 is the confirmed saloon fare before you travel, whether the A30 is clear or the roadworks near Bodmin are slow.
The return fare from Newquay to Bristol is fixed at the same £342.00 as the outbound journey — no return discount and no surcharge, the price is simply fixed both ways. A separate night or bank holiday rate hasn't been set yet, so confirm the fare when you book if your pickup falls well outside normal daytime hours.

When to book your pickup
The drive is about 2 hours 56 minutes, mostly the M5 to Exeter and then the A30 across Devon and into Cornwall. Far enough that we always recommend booking ahead so the car and driver are confirmed rather than arranged on the day.
