The tube here is no Underground; MetroBus services and the floating harbour are close by. Handy travelling light; with luggage bound for Cardiff, the door-to-door car earns its place.
Where your driver meets you

The Temple Meads–Cardiff transfer, planned around your train
This is a journey decided before you arrive: whether the driver watched the train, whether the price moved, and whether anyone is standing on the concourse at Temple Meads when you come off. On the Cardiff run we settle all three in advance — the train tracked, the fare from £131 fixed, and a named chauffeur waiting with a board.
The main forecourt off Temple Gate. Reckon on 1h 10–1h 40 for the drive, with 15 minutes of complimentary waiting so a slow arrival never costs you the car. Every toll sits inside the fare — nothing to settle at the kerb.
