Bristol to Plymouth Airport Taxi
from £265.05 fixed
A pre-booked taxi from Bristol to Plymouth starts at £265.05 fixed for a saloon car, up to 4 passengers, and takes about 2 hours 16 minutes door to door via the M5 and A38 — the straightforward answer for anyone with luggage, a hospital appointment or a ferry to catch.
Why fixed-price matters on the Bristol → Plymouth run
Morning price, checked September 2026. Quote tools for this route tend to show ballpark estimates from around £200, and on a journey this long that kind of estimate can move a lot once you specify a real time, a real car size and a genuine door-to-door pickup. Our £265.05 is the confirmed saloon fare before you travel, however slow the A38 is through Devon or however late your flight lands.
Returning from Plymouth to Bristol typically runs £2 to £3 less than the outbound fare, confirmed exactly when you book. 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 16 minutes, mostly the M5 to Exeter and then the A38 dual carriageway into Plymouth. For a Brittany Ferries sailing to Roscoff or Santander, build in margin before check-in closes — port traffic can be unpredictable around big sailings. Long enough that we always recommend booking ahead so a driver and car are confirmed rather than arranged on the day.

- 02 Sailing from Plymouth? We go straight to the Brittany Ferries terminal — tell us your check-in time and we build in margin
- 03 University of Plymouth term moves bring extra luggage, book an estate or MPV rather than a saloon
- 04 Booking the day before is worth it for a sailing, an appointment or an early flight connection, so the car is confirmed in advance
