Your airport options from Cardiff
Cardiff Airport is not located in the city itself. The airport operates in the town of Rhoose in the Vale of Glamorgan, which is some 13 miles south-west of the city centre, making pre-booking quite essential. The airport's reach is relatively limited in comparison with other UK airports.
Consequently, people in South Wales typically use various UK airports outside their region. Bristol Airport is the closest one, about 50 miles to the east of Cardiff, and since the Severn Bridge toll was abolished in 2018, this route is now free of charge. Anyone considering such an option may compare airport transfers from Bristol Airport, while anyone travelling further north via the M5 may compare airport transfers in Birmingham.
For long haul and business trips London airports dominate. Of these, Cardiff to Heathrow transfers are the most popular ones, Cardiff to Gatwick airport transfers take passengers to southern England destinations, while Cardiff to London City airport transfers fit better for short business trips.
Choosing your vehicle
The following two factors influence the choice: the distance to the airport is 13 miles, and many trips are organised across the Severn to Bristol. The length of driving makes it possible for the comfort classes to be more valuable than for a short trip, which is why First and Executive classes are justified. Business is responsible for most standard trips, Standard takes a fourth passenger, and Business XL (the people carrier class) transports a family and its luggage.
Match Day and Event groups are distributed among vehicles with a maximum of five passengers per vehicle.
Group transfers from Cardiff Airport are booked by several vehicles and not a minibus.
