Why Book a Group Airport Transfer?
When travelling with family, friends or colleagues, a group airport transfer makes much more sense than multiple taxis or trying to arrange lifts. A single minibus can carry your entire group plus luggage, arriving together and avoiding the stress of coordinating multiple vehicles. It is also significantly cheaper per person than individual taxis, especially from destinations further afield like Swansea, Wrexham or Bangor.
Typical Airport Transfer Prices
Airport transfer prices from key Welsh locations are approximately: Cardiff city centre to Cardiff Airport from £30-£50, Newport to Cardiff Airport from £40-£65, Swansea to Cardiff Airport from £70-£100, the Valleys to Cardiff Airport from £40-£70, Wrexham to Cardiff Airport from £140-£200, and Bangor to Cardiff Airport from £180-£260. These prices are for a standard minibus carrying 8-16 passengers. Larger coaches for bigger groups cost more but the per-person price drops significantly.
Welsh Airports Covered
Cardiff Airport is the main airport in Wales, located in Rhoose in the Vale of Glamorgan with good access via the A48 and M4. It handles flights to holiday destinations across Europe and beyond. For groups in North Wales, some operators also cover transfers to Liverpool John Lennon Airport or Manchester Airport, which offer a wider range of flights. Bristol Airport just across the Severn Bridge is another popular alternative for groups in South Wales.
What to Expect from Your Transfer
A professional airport transfer service will track your flight and adjust pickup time if your flight is early or delayed. The driver will meet you in the arrivals hall or at an agreed pickup point. Vehicles will have space for all your luggage. For early morning flights, operators typically offer pickups from 3am onwards. For return transfers, the driver will drop you at the departure terminal entrance. Most operators accept online booking and payment in advance.
Group Sizes and Vehicle Options
For airport transfers, the most popular vehicle sizes are: 8-seater minibuses ideal for families or small groups with plenty of luggage room, 16-seater minibuses for medium groups heading on holiday or business trips, and 24-49 seater coaches for large groups such as wedding parties, sports teams, or corporate groups. Executive vehicles are also available for business travel or special occasions, particularly popular for Cardiff Airport transfers from Newport and Cardiff.
Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if my flight is delayed?▼
Most professional operators monitor flight arrivals and will adjust your pickup time accordingly at no extra charge. Always provide your flight number when booking so the operator can track it.
