Bristol transfer guide
Bristol's main rail station is Temple Meads, and Bristol Airport sits around 8 miles southwest of the city centre. The city is also a common starting point for journeys into Somerset, Bath and South Wales via the Severn crossings. When arranging the journey, the most useful details are your exact pickup point, destination, date, time, passenger count and luggage needs. Giving those details clearly helps the booking process and reduces uncertainty on the day.
What to plan before travelling
- Confirm the exact pickup and destination.
- Allow sensible time for traffic, baggage and meeting points.
- Check passenger and luggage needs before selecting a vehicle.
- Use the related airport and station pages to plan onward travel.
