Who to quote
Jawad Burhan, Director of Tick Taxi, is available for interview, comment and background. Tick Taxi is a Bristol private hire operator specialising in fixed-price airport transfers, covering Bristol Airport and long-distance runs to Heathrow, Gatwick and the other UK airports.
What we can speak to
Airport transfer pricing
How fixed-price pre-booking compares with the airport rank and the ride-hailing apps, and what the 20% VAT on private hire, live since 2 January 2026, actually did to the totals people pay.
Bristol Airport access and charges
Drop-off and pick-up charges, the car parks, the free waiting zone and the bus. We hold current figures taken from the airport’s own published sources, with the date each was checked.
Flight disruption from the ground
What a delay, diversion or an air-traffic-control failure looks like for the ground operation and for the passenger waiting on it. We track flights and hold the operational side of a story usually told only by travellers.
Running a private hire fleet
Operating costs, licensing, driver supply and retention, and what it takes for an independent operator to compete with the apps.
If a story sits outside those, we will say so rather than stretch to fit it.
Data we will share
We keep current, sourced figures on the cost of getting to and from Bristol Airport, and we will send the underlying tables rather than a summary. Ask and we will usually just send it.
-
Airport car park prices, taken from the airport’s own booking engine, with the exact booking links so you can re-run any figure yourself.
-
Drop-off and pick-up charges, from the airport’s own published tariff, with the date each was checked.
-
Fixed transfer fares by vehicle size across our published routes, alongside other operators’ published rates where they publish them.
-
A fact-check sheet giving every figure its source and the date it was checked, so you can verify a claim without emailing us back.
Two things we will always tell you up front: what our data cannot show, and where a figure moves. Airport parking prices in particular change from day to day, so everything we send is stamped with the date and time it was taken, and re-running a row later may not give the same number.
We will not give you a figure we cannot source. If we do not know, we will say we do not know.
Using our material
Our published figures and datasets are free to reproduce, in whole or in part, with attribution to Tick Taxi and a link to the page you took them from. No permission needed and no embargo. If you need the data in a format we have not published, or a cut we have not run, ask.
Corrections
If you find something wrong on this site, tell us. We will correct it and say that we did.
