Bristol Airport Parking

In a nutshell it's expensive. It's also in the middle of nowhere. Apart from 'at the airport' is there anywhere you can leave your car safely for a fortnight and not get ripped off by NCP? I know there's at least one cheap alternative nearby where you leave your car with them and they take you to the airport but as it's off site it's cheaper. Has anyone tried these alternatives and are they safe?

  • I parked at Bristol off site and it wasnt too bad. They provide a bus service to the terminal but its only a five to ten minute walk. It may have been BCP but cant be sure.
    The best work is the cheapest as the quality remains long after the price is forgotten

    Try the Forge Car park, its about a 1/4 of a mile from the airport.
    I have used them a few times with no problems.
    They take you to the terminal door in a minibus, and pick you up on your return.
    I do know that the local council is trying to shut all the offsite car parks down, but as far as I know it is still open.

  • Used AM Parking off site at Bristol once. When we got back our car was blocked in and attendant could not find keys to the other car. Took an hour to sort out. Never again. Have heard The Forge is ok though.

    Went last month, booked through purple parking and we used a place called the Old Chaff Mill (paid on tesco clubcard deals so it only cost us £9 of Tesco clubcard points). About five minutes' drive from the terminal, they arrived very quickly on the return and we were actually driving away in our own car less than 35 minutes after touching down.

    Use the Airport Tavern. They have 12 fields they use plus a minibus. Much cheaper than the official car parks on the main site.

    I'm booking 4 day parking and the cheapest I can find is still the purple parking at 19.95 pounds. The Forge Car Park referred to above was 20 pounds for 4 days.

    If anyone ever finds something better, please post!

    Depending on where you're coming from, and the time of the flight, you might be better off leaving your car somewhere in Bristol and getting the airport bus - runs from Bristol Temple Meads and is I think only £8 return (tho I could be wrong).
