A £25 night surcharge applies to journeys with a scheduled pickup time between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM. Blandford Forum and North Dorset — call and we will quote you.
Bristol is the airport run that heads west
Every other major airport we serve from Dorset sits east of us. Bristol does not, and that changes the shape of the journey.
No M25, no London approach
The route to Bristol does not touch the M25 or the run into London at all. For a lot of our customers that is the reason they pick Bristol over Heathrow or Gatwick — though how long any journey takes still depends on the traffic on the day.
Around 70 miles
Bristol Airport is roughly 70 miles from Dorset and the journey normally takes about 1 hour 45 minutes, depending on traffic and the time of day. We work your pickup time back from your flight so the schedule has room in it.
The fare does not move
£175 in a standard saloon, agreed before you travel. A slow stretch of road, a queue at a junction or a wait at the terminal does not change what you pay.
Bristol, or one of the others?
Bristol suits some flights and not others. If the airline you want flies from somewhere closer or cheaper, it is worth knowing what that journey costs before you book the flight. Saloon fares from Wimborne, Poole, Ferndown, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Verwood:
Bristol Airport
West of Dorset, away from the M25 and the London approach. You are here.
Also covered: Bournemouth Airport from £50, Stansted from £255 and Central London from £270. Every fare is on the airport transfers page.
Our fleet & luggage capacity
Bristol is a comfortable run, but luggage is usually what decides the vehicle. Tell us how many cases you are carrying and we will confirm which one you need.
Standard Saloon
Passengers: 1–4
Luggage: 2 large suitcases + 2 hand luggage
The usual choice for a couple or a small family travelling light.
Estate Car
Passengers: 1–4
Luggage: 2–4 large suitcases + 2 hand luggage
Same number of seats, noticeably more boot space for a longer trip.
Small MPV
Passengers: 1–6
Luggage: Up to 6 pieces of hand luggage, or 4 passengers with 4 large suitcases plus small bags
For larger groups, or when the cases outnumber the passengers.
Flying out, and coming home
Getting you there
Tell us your flight time and where you are flying from, and we work the pickup back from it so there is room in the schedule for the road and for check-in. The time is agreed when you book, not left to the morning.
Door-to-door from your address · one vehicle, one driver · the fare is confirmed before you travel · drop-off at the terminal
Collecting you afterwards

Meet & Greet on arrival, with meeting instructions confirmed at booking · 30 minutes of free waiting after landing, subject to the booking terms · Bristol Airport parking fees inside the fare · help with the cases
Booking a Bristol Airport transfer
Send us the details
Pickup address, date, flight time and flight number, and how many of you are travelling with how many cases. A call, a WhatsApp message or the contact form all work.
We confirm the price and the time
You get the fixed fare for your vehicle and an agreed pickup time worked back from the flight. Nothing is estimated and nothing is added later.
We take it from there
Your driver arrives at the agreed time for the outbound run, and for the return we watch the flight and meet you in arrivals.
Returns are booked the same way, at the same fixed fare. If your plans are not settled yet, ask for the quote now and confirm the date later.

We used Elite Cabs recently for booking a trip to Heathrow from Wimborne with a return later. On both occasions John was prompt and contacted us to confirm our bookings. He loaded our luggage for us and his vehicle was clean and comfortable. His driving was excellent and we were able to relax. I have no reservations in recommending him to others.We will certainly use him again.Posted on Google![]()
