Bournemouth Airport to Ashton Gate taxi and Ashton Gate to Bournemouth Airport after the event, fixed fare from £182 each way

Bournemouth Airport to Ashton Gate and back: fixed fares

Rushxo covers Bournemouth Airport to Ashton Gate for every fixture and festival, in both directions. A saloon from Bournemouth Airport to Ashton Gate is a fixed fare from £182 each way, about 65 miles and 1.6-2.4 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £328, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after Bristol City and Bears match days. An 8-seater for a group is from £264, executive cars on request.

Fares are per car, agreed at booking, and include tolls and any London charges where they apply. No meter, no surge, the same price after the last encore.

Pick-up in Bournemouth Airport, drop-off at Ashton Gate

Pick-up is in the arrivals hall at Bournemouth Airport: the driver holds a name board, the flight is tracked and 45 minutes of waiting is included, so you go from the gate to Ashton Gate without a queue for the rank. At Ashton Gate we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for Bristol City and Bears match days when the roads around the venue are closed.

The drive is about 65 miles; the driver checks closures and event-day traffic orders and picks the fastest route on the day, so the time above already allows for normal traffic.

Ashton Gate to Bournemouth Airport: the journey home

Ashton Gate to Bournemouth Airport is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. Book both legs together and the driver waits at the agreed meeting point at the end of Bristol City and Bears match days, however late it runs; for a flight home we time the departure from the venue around your check-in, and the driver drops you at the terminal door. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.

Event days at Ashton Gate

For Bristol City and Bears match days we plan around the venue, not the postcode: the drop-off point that is actually open, the corner we meet on afterwards, and a departure time that beats the car-park queue. An 8-seater takes the whole group from Bournemouth Airport for little more than two saloons, and a wait-and-return price keeps the same driver on site for the day. Late finishes are normal for us; the fare is the same at 1am.
