Bristol to Portsmouth Airport Taxi
from £262.51 fixed
A pre-booked taxi from Bristol to Portsmouth is from £262.51 in a saloon and takes about 2 hours 7 minutes door to door. It's a popular one for the ferry port, with cases for a France or Spain sailing, and for the Historic Dockyard. The fare's fixed at booking and doesn't change with traffic, the time of day, or how early the ferry check-in opens.
Why fixed-price matters on the Bristol → Portsmouth run
Morning price, checked September 2026. A ferry check-in window doesn't wait, and neither should you be waiting on a fare estimate to firm up. Comparison sites quote a range built from typical traffic, not a driver actually assigned to your booking. Our £262.51 is agreed at booking, with your check-in time and vehicle class already accounted for. No surge for a summer sailing, no surcharge for an early crossing.
Returns are typically £3 to £4 less than the outbound fare, locked at a fixed price when you book both legs. Night and holiday pricing hasn't been confirmed yet, so for an overnight or pre-dawn ferry check-in, confirm the exact fare when you book.

When to book your pickup
Portsmouth is the far side of the country from Bristol, cutting across the M4 and down through Hampshire, so this is one of the longer runs we do — about 2 hours 7 minutes each way. For a morning sailing, tell us your check-in time and we set the pickup with margin for the drive.
