Reliable Taxi Service & Transport Solutions!
MyTaxi Barnstaple runs airport taxis from Barnstaple and across North Devon to every major UK airport, 24 hours a day. The fare is fixed and agreed before you travel, we track your flight number on the return leg, and we build the pickup time backwards from your check-in rather than forwards from your front door. North Devon is a long way from every airport in the country, which is exactly why this is work worth booking rather than calling for on the day.
Agreed when you book and confirmed back to you. No meter, no unsocial-hour surcharge, and no bill that grows because the M5 did.
Give us your flight number and we watch it. Land late and the driver adjusts — you are not charged for a delay outside your control.
Estates and 8 seaters for families and groups. Tell us the number of bags and we send a vehicle that actually holds them.

how it works
The single most useful thing you can tell us is your departure time, not the time you would like to be collected. From North Devon, Exeter is around an hour and Bristol closer to two, before you add check-in, bag drop and the security queue at the far end. We do that arithmetic for you and confirm a pickup time back, which for an early-morning flight from Bristol regularly means leaving Barnstaple before four in the morning. Better to hear that when you book than to work it out the night before.
Give us the flight number on the return leg and we monitor it. If the inbound is delayed, the driver moves with it rather than sitting on the meter or leaving without you, and there is no charge for a delay you did not cause. Coming back into an airport at midnight to find no way home is the situation this service exists to prevent — and it is the one thing a national app cannot promise you in North Devon, where drivers are thin on the ground at that hour.
An airport run is where boot space stops being an abstract question. A saloon takes two large cases plus hand luggage; an estate or 8 seater takes considerably more. For four or more passengers, one 8 seater is almost always cheaper and less hassle than two cars, and for two or more people a fixed-fare car often works out better value than the train once you have counted the changes from Barnstaple.
Airport work starts from all over the district, not just Barnstaple: Bideford, Ilfracombe, Braunton, South Molton, Woolacombe, Great Torrington, Combe Martin and Lynton. The further out you are, the earlier the start and the more the fixed fare matters, so those bookings are worth making as far ahead as you can.
For a short trip, parking sometimes wins. For a week or more it rarely does: long-stay parking at Bristol for a fortnight, plus the fuel both ways, generally costs more than the transfer — and it leaves nobody driving home tired at the end of a holiday or a red-eye. Ask us for a fare and compare it against the parking before you decide.
