Who takes this journey
-
01
University of Exeter, start and end of term
A term's worth of belongings does not fit comfortably on a train, and the taxi rank at the Exeter end after three hours of travelling is nobody's idea of a good arrival. One car, one price, everything in the boot.
-
02
Business travel to Exeter and East Devon
Leave when your diary says, not when the timetable does. The rear cabin is quiet enough to take a call in, and you arrive at the door rather than a station car park.
-
03

Questions travellers ask
How long does Bristol to Exeter take?
Around an hour and a half on the M5 in normal conditions. Friday afternoons and summer Saturdays run slower, and we build that in when we agree your pickup time rather than leaving you to guess.
Is a car worth it over the train?
For one person travelling light, often not. For two or more, or anyone with real luggage, it usually is. Two advance singles plus a taxi at each end closes the gap quickly, and you do the journey once rather than in three stages.
Do you cover Exeter Airport?
Yes, at the same fare. Give us the flight number when you book and we will confirm a pickup time that gets you there with room to spare.
Can you collect from Bristol Airport rather than the city?
Yes. Tell us the terminal and your flight number and we will meet you in arrivals with a name board.
Is the price per car or per person?
Per car. Three of you travelling together pay the same £180 as one.
Can I book the return at the same time?
Yes, and booking both legs together takes 5% off the return. Useful if you are dropping someone at university and coming back the same day.
