Bristol to Torquay Airport Taxi
from £224.14 fixed
A pre-booked taxi from Bristol to Torquay starts at £224.14 fixed for a saloon car and takes just under 2 hours door to door via the M5 and A380 onto the English Riviera — a set price confirmed before you travel, whichever hotel or address you're headed to.
Why fixed-price matters on the Bristol → Torquay run
Morning price, checked September 2026. Quote tools for the English Riviera tend to show ballpark estimates from around £180 that assume the easiest possible pickup and a standard car. Once you add a real time, luggage and a specific hotel, the estimate moves. Our £224.14 is the confirmed saloon fare before you travel, and it doesn't change once booked.
Here's the one that surprises people: returning from Torquay 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 1 hour 59 minutes via the M5 to Exeter and then the A380 down onto the coast. Summer weekends can be slower through Newton Abbot, so we build that into the pickup time we give you rather than leaving it to chance.
