BRISTOL Airport Taxi
So, nice and easy, walk out through the main entrance and... there you go, what was AIRPORTCARZ and is now CHECKERCARS, Uhmmm.
Lets quote the speal that Bristol international airport gave us last year "Press Release on behalf of BIA" I will quote "important to seek the best possible service and standards for our customers"
Now I will have to agree that Checker cars is providing a good service, they are convenient, and it is a 24hr service. That said are they looking after you the customer. No.
For some strange reason BIA has put themselves in the position that we, us, all Bristol Taxi companies have serious trouble picking up and dropping of our customers! Why?
The pick up and set down area of the airport is now reserved for Checkercars and Coaches, that is the area that was designed for that purpose has been closed to properly licensed and plated Publice Hire and Private Hire vehicles from not only Bristol but any area except if your name is Checkercars. This does cause problems for customers certainly mine. My more elderly passangers have a fair old walk to the departure building now. Passangers whom have made a booking through my company will struggle to find me in the Rapid Pick Up Car Park which by the way is too small and at busy times fills up completely.
So why is it that Bristol Taxis cannot pick up or drop of at Bristol Airport easily? Because they have been paid off by selling the concession!
So of course BIA only had you the customers interests at heart. Why is it them that you are paying up to 3 times the normal fare that you would be charged within the Bristol Tarriff structure, not only that person A is going to place Z but also person B gets in with you who has also paid his fare and he wants to go to X !
Why not get your own properly licensed Bristol Taxi and travel in comfort ojn your own if you wish either to or from BIA and we will charge you a fare price.
Rant Over. or you could use my company! Bristol Taxi Cabs
Thank You.

Bristol Hackney Cabs
The BRISTOL TAXI Service
We Know Where We Are Going!
Polite, Friendly & ON TIME
0117 230 2112
Hi and thank you for visiting our site. I have been a Taxi Driver in Bristol for just over 20 years and have teamed up with some of my long standing colleagues and friends to start this company in 2007. Bristol Hackney cabs.
No excuses, No "Sorry the driver has just had a puncture!" No "The driver knocked on your door but had no reply" No "We'll be there in 5 mins..." and still waiting in an hour" Just First Class Service from one of the Little Guys in the TAXI Business
We can offer you a standard of service which will not be beaten in The Taxi Business. Our aim is to offer you the customer these things: polite courteous drivers who know where they are going! Reasonable Fares, High Standard Vehicles and a level of service that will surpass any Bristol Taxi Company you have used before.
The vehicles we use are all new or recent and of a very high standard all with air-conditioning. Vehicles have passed stringent licensing conditions as have our drivers whom have all taken the appropriate tests and have had Criminal Records Checks, and are Licensed by Bristol City Council.
Try us out and you will be our customer for life! whether you use us once a year or 7 days a week. Take a look around the site, I have listed some common fares and some of the more usual airport prices along with some special offers. If in doubt just give me a call and ask! Feel free to use the links on the left.

How Taxi Fares Are Calculated
A mystical art, BRISTOL TAXI prices!Hackney Cabs within Bristol are governed by Bristol City Council and the prices or fares within Bristol are set by the Council. However for journeys outside of the City there is no set pricing. You are left to decide upon a price with your driver.So, how do drivers arrive at a price?Generaly pricing is done “on the hoof” some drivers refer to a price book which is not endorsed or regulated by Bristol City Council!The pricing strategy is arrived at by these things…
What time of day is the journey? If the journey is made during the day we of course have to take into account Traffic.
How many people or Drops? If there is more than one stop or drop off then there will be a small surchage .
Is it a straight run, i.e. Motorway all the way or country roads? Obviously if the journey is direct via motorway for a 50 miles as opposed to a 50 mile journey via A or B roads the later would be more expensive.
So ultimately you are paying for these elements…
Time & Fuel Cost here is the formula that can be used…
M = Milage there and back, F = Cost of fuel per gallon, MPG = 35 Avg miles per gallon for vehicle used, AVG = 55 mph Average speed for whole trip, HR = Preffered hourly wage
(M / MPG * F) + (M / AVG * HR) = FARE
For example… London City there and back 240 miles
240miles / 35mpg *£5.00 =£34.29
240miles / 55mph * £25=£109 Total fare £143.29
Add these 2 figures together to give you the fare. However, some drivers may charge £10 ph and some more but it does show you the customer what elements are used in pricing. For more info or to book visit http://onthemeter.co.uk
Thanks.
Safety Tips when catching a Taxi
Stay Safe
Please be safe when using any Taxi and follow these rules:
It is safer to book your cab or Taxi directly from a company or an individual you trust.
All Taxi and Private Hire Vehicles carry identification or Licensing numbers at the front and rear of the vehicle, make sure they are visible, the driver must also be displaying his/her badge which will have a photo of the licensed driver along with his/her driver number and will be issued by Bristol City Council. If he/she does not have a badge visible do NOT get in the vehicle. If you have a complaint against a driver these details will help find out whom the driver is.
Only Taxis with the sign on the roof saying "TAXI" are legally licensed to be Flagged down on the streets, Private Hire Cars must be booked in advance. That is not to say that Private Hire cars are unsafe but just that they are licensed for a different purpose.
Let someone know or tell a friend that you are taking a Taxi home, maybe even ask them to give you a call to make sure you have arrived.
Lastly, if you are unsure about a Cab or Taxi don't get in! wait until the next one arrives or why not call me!
If you are unfortunate enough to have a problem with any TAXI or Cab and are unable to resolve the situation through the management you should complain to the relevant licensing authority, in the case of BRISTOL it is of course BRISTOL City Council. To save you time here is a link to their complaints form and procedures.
