What are the differences between the Bristol Airport car parks?
Not sure the difference between a Meet & Greet or on-airport parking?
Luckily, we know airport parking inside out. We've rounded up the main differences between the parking options at Bristol Airport below.
How does on-airport parking at Bristol work?
These car parks are situated within the Bristol Airport perimeter. This means they're close to the terminal and within the security of the airport grounds.
In this case, you just park your car, unload your baggage and walk across to check in. Other on-airport Bristol car parking options require a short shuttle-bus transfer, which is free of charge and takes less than five minutes. If you choose this option, all you need to do is park your car and hop onto the shuttle bus. This takes you to the terminal doors.
Our on-airport car parks:
- Silverzone – Transfer time: 7-9 minute bus (this is the most cost-effective option).
- Multi-Storey – Transfer time: 2-3 minute walk.
- Short Stay and Pick-Up – Transfer time: 3-4 minute walk.
How does the Meet & Greet Parking at Bristol Airport work?
Meet & Greet parking is a valet service. It's our quickest and most convenient option; all you need to do is drive to the terminal and park in an express bay in front of the terminal building.
As you walk to your check-in desk, your car will be parked for you in a secure parking facility. When you return from your trip, your vehicle will be brought back to the terminal for you to collect.
Due to the convenience, Meet & Greet parking is great if you're short of time or travelling with young children or bulky luggage.
Make sure you book your Meet & Greet parking in Bristol with APH to ensure you're booking with an approved operator.
How does the Short Stay Parking at Bristol Airport work?
If you're going away for a few days, the Short Stay car park is one of the most popular options that's likely to suit you. Located directly opposite the terminal, our Short Stay car park is a two-minute walk to both Departures and Arrivals.
As spaces are limited, it's best to book in advance to secure your space and the best possible price. If you book in advance, you can expect to pay approx. £90 per week.
