Bristol to Paignton Airport Taxi
from £227.11 fixed
A pre-booked taxi from Bristol to Paignton is £227.11 fixed for a saloon car and takes about 2 hours door to door via the M5 and A380 onto Torbay — a set price confirmed before you travel, whichever hotel or address you're headed to.
Why fixed-price matters on the Bristol → Paignton run
Morning price, checked September 2026. Quote tools for this stretch of the English Riviera show ballpark estimates from around £180 that usually assume the easiest possible pickup and a standard car. Our £227.11 is the confirmed saloon fare before you travel, and it doesn't change once booked.
Returning from Paignton to Bristol Airport runs £2 to £3 higher than the outbound fare, not lower — we'd rather say that plainly than let you assume it works the same both ways. The exact return price is confirmed when you book. A separate night rate hasn't been set yet, so confirm the fare for pickups well outside normal daytime hours.

When to book your pickup
About 2 hours via the M5 to Exeter and then the A380 down onto the coast. Torquay and Paignton sit close together on Torbay, so the drive is almost identical either way. Summer weekends can be slower through Newton Abbot, and we build that into your pickup time.
