Bristol to Southampton Airport Taxi
from £159 fixed
A pre-booked taxi from Bristol to Southampton is £159 fixed for a saloon and takes about 1 hour 40 minutes door to door via the A36 and M27, tolls included. The fare's fixed at booking, whether you're heading into the city centre, out to the university, or down to the docks for a cruise.
Why fixed-price matters on the Bristol → Southampton run
Search this route online and you'll find fare-estimator sites offering a range worked out from average traffic and a typical car, not a driver actually booked for you. That's a guess, and guesses move once a real dispatcher looks at the job. Our £159 is the fare you'll pay, agreed at booking, tolls included. No surge on a Friday afternoon, no surcharge if the M27 is slow.
Returning from Southampton is the same fixed £159 fare, tolls included, in either direction. If your return connects to a flight from Bristol Airport (BRS), we track it and hold 45 minutes of free waiting after you land, so a delayed return doesn't cost anything extra.

When to book your pickup
It's a cross-country run via the A36 and M27, avoiding London entirely, taking about 1 hour 40 minutes each way. There's no direct rail line, so most train journeys involve at least one change — which is why a fixed-price car door to door is popular here, especially with luggage or a group. Sailing from Southampton? Give us your cruise line's recommended arrival time and we set the pickup with margin for the M27 on a Saturday.

- 02 University of Southampton term moves are a normal booking — an MPV or 8-seater covers a family bringing a full car's worth of student kit in one trip
- 03 The trip most people search for after a cruise, Southampton pier back to Bristol Airport, is the same £159 fare
- 04 The price doesn't change with the time of day, so an early sailing or a late disembarkation costs the same as a daytime run
