Covering the marina, seafront and town centre, book a fixed price taxi to or from Bristol Airport for your Portishead journey
Portishead is around 14 miles from the airport, typically a 25 to 30 minute drive via the A369 and the Portishead by-pass. It's a popular route for us both ways: plenty of commuters flying for work from the marina area, and plenty of holidaymakers who choose Portishead as a quieter base near Bristol.
Marina-side addresses and the newer developments near the old power station site can be tricky for drivers unfamiliar with the town's layout. We know the difference between the marina, the seafront, and the older part of town up the hill, so you're not left giving directions after a long flight.
The marina and the seafront are both regular pickup and drop-off points for us, and we treat them as distinct areas rather than one generic Portishead postcode, so your driver arrives at the right entrance the first time.
For an early departure, we account for the M5 spur traffic that can build up around Junction 19, rather than assuming an empty road every time. Roughly 25 to 30 minutes should be allowed for the journey in normal traffic.
You get one fare, agreed before you travel, whatever the meter would otherwise show after sitting at the Junction 19 approach. No surge pricing, no guessing what a black cab will cost after a delayed landing, just a driver who knows Portishead's marina and seafront well.
Every driver is DBS checked, every price is fixed before you travel, and every flight is tracked so your pickup time adjusts on its own. Add a clean, well kept fleet and round the clock availability, and you get a transfer service that simply does what it says, whether that’s a 3am airport run or a school day pickup.
