How much is a taxi from Bristol airport to a hotel in Bath for 2 people? Is Uber cheaper and can you get an Uber without advance purchase at the airport?

My daughter had to get a cab late at night after a delayed flight and it was over £100. Ubers etc should be about £50.
There is a bus at normal times.

It's really not too long a distance to rule out a private car service. It will cost a little more, but we think it is well worth it.
We used a private car service based in Bath to go from there to the Bristol airport and were very pleased. I don't remember the cost, but it was reasonable. The service we used was Chauffeur Travel, and the web site is https://chauffeurtravel.co.uk/
Send them an email explaining your needs and ask for a quote. Can't hurt to ask.

Yes you can get a Uber very easily at Bristol airport. There is a new transport interchange. What I do is go into the transport hub building (where you will find an M&S Simply Food store) and call an Uber from there. The drop off/pick up area is right on the other side. Ubers wait nearby and come very quickly. I think it will be at least £50. It’s £35 to my house which is a lot closer than Bath.

This is from our trip in 2024. We took an Uber from our Bristol hotel to our hotel in Bath and it cost £27. I checked my Uber app history for accuracy.

The airport is further from Bath than Bristol city centre is, plus there is an additional £8.50 charge for picking up at the airport. This is applied to every car using the drop off and pick up area, whether they’re a taxi or not.
