Minicabees runs fixed-fare taxis from Dorchester to all eight airports we cover, from Bournemouth Airport at about 30 miles to the longer runs up to London and the west. The price is agreed before you travel and does not change with traffic or time of day.

Every airport arrival is flight-tracked with 60 minutes of free waiting, and executive cars are available at rates close to our standard saloon.

Airport transfers from Dorchester

Dorchester is the county town of Dorset, sitting on the A35 with Bournemouth Airport about forty minutes east. Every distance below is measured driving mileage from Dorchester with an off-peak drive time, and the fare is fixed before you travel.

Bournemouth Airport — 30 miles, about 40 minutes

A small single-terminal airport where you clear security in minutes, which often makes it quicker end to end than a bigger hub.

Southampton Airport — 55 miles, about 1 hour 10 minutes

One of the easiest airports in the country to use, with a short walk from drop-off to check-in and quick security.

Bristol Airport — 63 miles, about 1 hour 35 minutes

Bristol covers a broad low-cost and holiday network and is the natural departure point for the West Country.

Heathrow Airport — 115 miles, about 2 hours 15 minutes

Heathrow is the UK hub for long-haul, with the widest choice of destinations and the most frequent departures.

London City Airport — 137 miles, about 3 hours 15 minutes

London City suits business travel to European capitals, and a car door to door beats dragging a case across London.

Gatwick Airport — 139 miles, about 2 hours 40 minutes

Gatwick is the usual choice for European leisure routes and long-haul charter, with two terminals and a broad carrier mix.

Luton Airport — 146 miles, about 2 hours 50 minutes

Luton serves a wide low-cost network, and going by road avoids the awkward rail journey with a change in London.

Stansted Airport — 175 miles, about 3 hours 30 minutes

Stansted is the furthest of the London airports for most of our customers, which is exactly where a fixed fare earns its keep.
