A very poor website. Apart from telling you they charge from £6 a day there is no other info on it. I still prefer to use a local hotel that looks after my car free of charge. Works out cheaper as well.

I've always forund that "Pink Elephant" is good value for money for long term parking. (when I've flown from Heathrow / Gatwick and Stanstead)

And whats BAD value for money??? Taking a Taxi to my local (regional) airport!

I live only 7 miles from my (tiny) regional Airport in Norwich. I enquired about getting a Taxi from home to the airport a few weeks back to be told "£17.50 one way!" I thought "I'll ask a friend to drive me instead".
A day or two later, I rang up the same Taxi firm, this time asking for a fare to our local Mazda Dealership to collect the car which was in for a service. £6.50 one way. And wheres the Mazda dealership? Only 200 yards from our local airport!

Bloody rip off merchants!

Not sure about dropping off, but airports charge taxi firms for access to collect passengers (esp. Manchester). Did you know that Manchester have stopped private car drivers from picking up passengers now except by parking in the short stay (and paying)?

Beware all of you who use Tesco Clubcard vouchers for Purple Parking - the price is increased so you don't save as much as you think you do. Bad one; have reported this to Tesco.

Is there any independant off site parking at Bournemouth Airport?

I recently used my tesco clubcard vouchers for Purple Parking, I got £75 in clubcard deal vouchers which would have been worth about £18 in Tesco.
Worth a look, Teso have a link to the deal on their website.

Try Tudor Rose,

http://www.tudorrose.co.uk

you pick up a driver at their base (5 mins from terminals) who takes you to the airport in your own car, then takes it away and parks it.
On your return you ring from customs and they bring your car back to the airport you then drop the chaufeur back at the car park on the way to the motorway.

this service cost £36.90 for a week in September compared to £53 (inc 10% disc at BCP)

They do say that if they are very busy a minibus may be used for the return but for £2.50 a day they do some extras and guarantee a chaufeur.

I had this recommended to me and will be using it for the first time next month.


Not really cheaper but does avoid the hassle of a bus transfer to the airport.

Good luck

Used Tudor Rose last week! Just had to add that they are excellent, quick friendly service and car came back in one piece, unlike parking in short term Gatwick when some inconsiderate "B" must have banged their trolley into our car.
