At Ridex Taxis, every fare is fixed when you book, so the price you agree to is exactly what you pay, even if traffic around Birmingham turns the M6 into a car park or the M5 near Bristol slows to a crawl.

Bristol Airport is one of the longest routes we cover from Manchester. This means booking your price before you leave home matters more than on shorter trips.

At Ridex Taxis, every fare is fixed when you book. The price you agree to is exactly what you pay. This stays true even if traffic near Birmingham backs up the M6. It also stays true if the M5 near Bristol slows to a crawl.

Why Choose RideX Taxis For This Route

We have been operating cheap long-distance airport transfers from Manchester for many years, and Bristol is one of the routes we are most frequently asked about, mainly from those flying with easyJet or Ryanair from the short-haul terminal in Bristol, or families travelling down on holiday who do not fancy getting a train with bags in tow.

It is a real long haul, so no, just any car or driver gets this gig. Our regular Bristol drivers know this route inside out. They include bottlenecks on the M6 through Birmingham. They also include the M5 south of the Almondsbury Interchange. These roads often clog up on Friday afternoons. They also clog up on school holiday weekends.

All drivers hold a valid private hire license and complete an enhanced DBS check before their first shift. Every vehicle carries full private hire insurance and a current MOT.

How Booking Actually Works

1. Call or book online. All you need for us to get you sorted is your flight number, departure terminal, and pickup time.
2. We verify your provider and vehicle. You’ll receive a confirmation with the driver’s details in advance of your travel date.
3. We track your flight. It’s pretty simple; it will automatically adjust your pickup time if it lands early or late. No need to ring us.
4. Your driver meets you. For airport-to-home journeys, your driver meets you in arrivals holding a name board. Waiting time is free for one hour everywhere.
5. You pay the fixed price agreed at booking. No surge pricing, no meter, no hidden fees.

Saloon versus Executive versus MPV: which one do you actually need?

Considering just how long this journey is, though, most families and groups opt for the MPV solely for the extra legroom over three hours. But if it’s just you and a colleague heading to an event near Bristol, the Executive is worth that little extra for comfort alone.
