About Cheddar

A private transfer from Bristol Airport to Cheddar takes approximately 24min covering 12 miles via the A38, A371. Fixed-price chauffeur transfers start from £24 for up to 3 passengers with meet and greet included.

Arrive in Cheddar — the village at the mouth of Britain's biggest gorge — with a private fixed-price transfer from Bristol Airport (BRS). The 12 miles route along the A38, A371 takes around 24min, and your BristolRide chauffeur handles everything door-to-door, with the price agreed before you travel.

Cheddar is the village at the mouth of Britain's biggest gorge, where the cheese was first made and where Britain's oldest complete skeleton was found. Cheddar 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 12 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 Cheddar, which rarely beats a direct car for anyone carrying luggage.

The Bristol Airport to Cheddar transfer follows the A38, A371 corridor with consistent journey times of around 24min, covering 12 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 Cheddar or elsewhere in Somerset. There's no interchange, no connecting bus and no walk with bags — just one car for the whole 12 miles.

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

Travelling to Cheddar year-round

Whatever the season, your BristolRide transfer between Bristol Airport and Cheddar 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.

Bristol Airport to Cheddar Transfer Price

Fixed-price transfers between Bristol Airport and Cheddar start from £24 for up to 3 passengers in an all-electric saloon, calculated from the real 12 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 £41, 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.
