Nearly thirty-three road miles from Bristol

From the center of Bristol to the airport in Windsor Locks a map router measures about 32.9 road miles. Most of that distance runs along Route 72 out of town, onto I-84 toward Hartford, and up I-91 into Windsor Locks. The mileage is a map reading taken from the town center, so an address near the Forestville end or out by the edges of town will measure a little differently.

The site prints miles for Bristol and leaves the clock out of it, because traffic on I-84 changes from hour to hour. The car company looks at your exact address and the flight you give it, and plans the pickup from there in its written reply.

How many seats a Bristol family needs

Three riders is the most a sedan takes; four, five or six go in the SUV. You choose the size in the form, which suggests one once you enter the number of riders. Count bags honestly: if four people bring large suitcases, the car company may write back that the load calls for the SUV.

  • Riders: enter everyone going, children included.
  • Bags: give the count; the car company answers about space in writing.
  • Child seats: list rear-facing, forward-facing and booster seats separately.
  • Seven riders or more: call +1 (860) 293-7514, because that means two cars with a fare each.

Leaving Bristol for a morning departure

Bristol sits at the far end of the roll, so a morning flight needs planning the day before. A pickup before 9 a.m. has to be answered in the 7 p.m. reply run the evening before, so send the request by 6:45 p.m. that night. Put the flight number and its departure time in the form.

You do not pick the clock time for the knock on the door. The car company reads your flight and your address and names the pickup time in its written reply. Compare it with your own plans, then accept it or ask about another one. If you also need a ride home, choose both directions, and reserve a ride from Manchester to Bradley Airport shows how the same form reads for a town east of the river.
