When not to book us: Of every pair we price, this is the one where a scheduled seat is hardest to defend. The 216 opens at £21.50 one way per person, so a couple is already committed to £43 and a family of four to £86, for a journey of 47 miles that the car does free-flow in about 71 minutes against the coach's best of 1 hour 20. You are paying more per head than on far longer routes, arriving at a stop rather than an address, and choosing from up to 10 departures a day between a first at 00:10 and a last at 22:20. The seat still makes sense in one shape: one person, hand luggage only, a daytime flight that happens to line up. Anybody travelling as a pair, anybody crossing the Severn with hold luggage, and anybody landing in the evening should compare that £43 with a single fare for the car before assuming the ticket is the thrifty option.
Where you meet your driver
- Book against a full Cardiff address with its postcode. The city centre, Cardiff Bay and the northern suburbs are meaningfully different journeys and the quote reflects the one you actually name.
- Your supplier details email carries the driver's mobile number. Save it before you fly. It is a separate message from the confirmation that lands when you book.
- The inbound flight is tracked at no cost to you, so a late arrival moves the collection rather than losing it, and free waiting starts at touchdown. What it costs, above, states the allowance included in your fare.
- The standard service is express pick-up: your driver is at the airport's designated pick-up point when you come through. Being met inside the terminal with a name board is meet and greet, which is a paid extra chosen at checkout.
- Give us the flight number for the return leg into the airport as well as the outbound. A cross-border run is planned around the crossing, and knowing the real arrival time is what keeps the driver ahead of it.
Contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email.
Arrivals-hall meet and greet with a name board is available as a paid extra at checkout.

Questions people ask about this route
How much is a transfer from Cardiff to Bristol Airport?
The live quote above prices a saloon for the date you are viewing and holds once booked. It covers the vehicle, so the figure is the same for one traveller or four, and it does not move with the hour or the traffic. Enter your own date in the form to price it.
Is the coach cheaper than a taxi from Bristol Airport to Cardiff?
Only if you are alone. Fares open at £21.50 one way per person, which puts two people at £43 and four at £86. That is a high per-head figure for 47 miles, and it is the reason this route flips to the car sooner than almost any other we cover.
How long does the journey take?
The free-flow drive is about 71 minutes and the quickest scheduled run is 1 hour 20 minutes. Neither figure includes getting from the stop to where you are actually going once you are in the city.
How often does the 216 run?
Up to 10 times a day, with a first at 00:10 and a last at 22:20. That is a workable timetable in daylight and a thin one around an evening arrival.
Can you collect very early for a morning flight?
Yes, at any hour, and the fare does not change because of it. Nothing here is metered, so a departure at four in the morning from Cardiff prices the same as a midday one.
Do you cover Newport, Barry and the Vale of Glamorgan?
Yes. Each address is quoted on its own rather than as a Cardiff flat rate, so type the postcode into the form and the price you see is for that specific journey.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Your driver watches the flight and resets the pick-up to the actual landing time at no extra charge. Free waiting is included from the moment you are on the ground and the allowance is set out under What it costs above.
Will the driver help with luggage?
Yes, and the vehicle is chosen for it at booking. A saloon takes a small family's cases; beyond that pick an estate or a people carrier from the table on this page and the quote covers that vehicle.
Is the price per person or for the car?
For the car. Set against a £21.50 seat that multiplies with your party, that difference is what decides this route for most people travelling together.
Can I cancel or amend?
A cancellation more than 24 hours before pick-up is refunded in full, and inside that window the full fare applies. Amendments are made through the booking link in your confirmation email, to the same 24-hour cut-off.
