About Weston-super-Mare

A private car from Bristol to Weston-super-Mare takes approximately 39min covering 24 miles via the A38, M5. Fixed-price door-to-door transfers start from £48 for up to 3 passengers.

Travel from Bristol to Weston-super-Mare — the classic seaside resort on the Bristol Channel — by private car: one driver, one fixed price, door to door. The 24 miles journey via the A38, M5 takes around 39min, collected from any Bristol address at the time you choose.

Weston-super-Mare is the Bristol Channel's classic resort — a two-mile sandy beach, the rebuilt Grand Pier and Brean Down at the bay's southern tip. A private intercity transfer between Bristol and Weston-super-Mare replaces the connection-hopping of public transport with a single seamless drive. Your BristolRide driver collects you at your door and delivers you to the exact address — ideal for luggage, families, meetings and groups. Weston-super-Mare — the classic seaside resort on the Bristol Channel — is 24 miles out via the A38, in Somerset, close enough that a private car often beats the combined time of a taxi to the station, the wait for a train, and a taxi at the other end.

The drive between Bristol and Weston-super-Mare runs via the A38, M5 and takes around 39min in normal traffic, covering the real 24 miles road distance rather than a straight-line guess. There are no changes and no stations — your route is door to door, and the fixed price is agreed before you travel, whether you're headed into the centre of Weston-super-Mare or further out in Somerset.
