About Bath

A private transfer from Bath to Bristol Airport takes approximately 42min covering 19 miles via the A38, A4. Fixed-price chauffeur transfers start from £39 for up to 3 passengers with meet and greet included.

When your flight departs from Bristol Airport, every minute counts. BristolRide collects you from your hotel or address in Bath — the UNESCO World Heritage spa city — and delivers you directly to the terminal at BRS. The 19 miles route via the A38, A4 takes around 42min, at a fixed price confirmed before you travel.

Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage city of Georgian crescents built around Britain's only natural hot springs. Bath sits on the A38 corridor in Somerset, making transfers to and from Bristol Airport straightforward at any hour. There is no direct rail link to BRS — the airport sits on the A38 south of Bristol, 8 miles south-west of the city centre — so a pre-booked car is the only true door-to-door option: a direct 19 miles drive with no changes, no timetable stress and no parking to arrange. Public transport means the Airport Flyer A1 bus into Temple Meads first, then a further connection out to Bath, which rarely beats a direct car for anyone carrying luggage.

The Bath to Bristol Airport transfer follows the A38, A4 corridor with consistent journey times of around 42min, covering 19 miles of real road distance rather than a straight-line estimate. Your BristolRide chauffeur drives directly from door to door — hotel, business or private residence — all at the same fixed price with no detour surcharge, whether your address is in central Bath or elsewhere in Somerset. There's no interchange, no connecting bus and no walk with bags — just one car for the whole 19 miles.

Travellers visiting the region also book all Bristol transfer routes, our fleet & prices, our Bath day tour and business accounts with monthly invoicing from Bristol Airport.

  • Your driver monitors your flight and waits free for 60 minutes after landing.
  • Child seats and extra luggage can be requested on the booking form.

Why BristolRide?

Your BristolRide driver arrives at your Bath address, handles your luggage from lobby to boot, and drops you right outside the terminal at BRS. The price is confirmed before you book — no airport surcharges, no waiting-time fees, no drop-off stress.

Travelling to Bath year-round

Whatever the season, your BristolRide transfer between Bath and Bristol Airport runs to the same fixed price and 24/7 schedule. Holiday-season traffic on the A38 is planned into your pickup time by drivers who know the corridor daily. Summer weekends and school-holiday getaways add predictable pressure to the corridor — your BristolRide driver leaves earlier on those days so your fixed pickup time still holds. Bristol Airport's easyJet, Ryanair, Jet2, TUI and Aer Lingus schedules mean early-morning and late-evening arrivals are routine — your driver is booked to your actual landing time either way.

Bath to Bristol Airport Transfer Price

Fixed-price transfers between Bath and Bristol Airport start from £39 for up to 3 passengers in an all-electric saloon, calculated from the real 19 miles road distance rather than a rounded estimate. Business Class and First Class step up the vehicle without changing the model — you still know the total before you travel. Groups of up to 7 share a Business Van for £67, which is often cheaper per person than several taxi-meter fares or a multi-leg bus and train combination once luggage and waiting time are factored in. There is no airport pickup surcharge, no card fee and no charge for the 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing.
