How much is a taxi from Salisbury to Bristol?

A pre-booked Salisbury to Bristol taxi with BristolRide costs £103 in an Electric car for up to 4 passengers, £155 in Business Class or £181 in the 7-seat Business Van. The fare is fixed when you book and covers the whole 52 miles, so it does not go up in traffic or with extra luggage.

Around 1h 27min door to door, covering 52 miles via the A36. Your driver plans around traffic on the day.

Can I be collected from Bristol Temple Meads?

Is a private transfer better than the train to Bristol?

Can we stop along the way?

Short en-route stops can usually be arranged — add a note at booking and we confirm before your trip.

How many people can travel together?

The Electric seats up to 4 passengers and Business Class up to 3, each with luggage; our 7-seat Business Van covers larger families or groups travelling together for £181.

How do I pay, and can I cancel?

Payment is taken securely online when you book. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before pickup, so plans can change without a fee.

Can you collect from Bristol Parkway as well as Temple Meads?

Yes — both stations work as pickup points, and they are separate places: Temple Meads is the central terminus, Bristol Parkway sits north of the city near the M4 and M32. Tell us which one at booking and give us the train number so we can track it.
