How much is a taxi from Yate to Bristol?

A pre-booked Yate to Bristol taxi with BristolRide costs £25 in an Electric car for up to 4 passengers, £37 in Business Class or £43 in the 7-seat Business Van. The fare is fixed when you book and covers the whole 12 miles, so it does not go up in traffic or with extra luggage.

How long does the journey take?

Around 25min door to door, covering 12 miles via the M32, A432. Your driver plans around traffic on the day.

Can I be collected from Bristol Temple Meads?

Yes — any Bristol address works as a pickup point, including Temple Meads station, the coach station, hotels and private homes.

Is a private transfer better than the train to Bristol?

For groups, families and anyone with luggage, yes: it is door to door with no changes. Solo travellers on a budget may prefer the train, but lose the door-to-door convenience.

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 £43.

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.
