Swansea Airport is small — most passengers use CWL or BRS
What to know
Airport runs from Swansea
Most passengers book private hire for airports. You agree the price (or a clear estimate) when you book. That price is not the council hackney tariff.
Hackney on the meter
A licensed hackney can use the meter where the local rules allow. Cross-border and long airport work is often done by private hire instead. Do not assume the town tariff is what an airport minicab will charge.
What to ask
Pickup point, flight number / delay policy, meet-and-greet, child seats, and luggage. For Cardiff Airport and Bristol Airport (typical long transfers), ask about waiting time after landing.
Local note

A guide to the official hackney-carriage maximum tariff, not a quote. Private hire vehicles are licensed, but they generally do not use this council tariff — agree the price when you book.
