hey, I am looking for the cheapest possible option for parking near bristol airport for 3 nights in november. I am slightly untrusting of the majority of poster's tips on this thread due to their lack of posts. Suggests to me they are promoting their own site! Just joined the website from the above post hoping to get dicount emails, but if there's a cheaper option, like the tavern (http://www.airporttavern.co.uk/parking.html) several seemed to recommend then that would be better. If anyone can help that would be super

Hi Emily, I suppose that's always a danger. I was simply so chuffed to find Goblin Combe I wanted to tell everyone about and to be honest that's the only reason I signed on to the forums at the time. I tend to be a reader not a contributor unless something gets me really excited. Might be worth checking out people's private profile if you can which might give you a bit more detail about them.

I get emails every month from the Bristol Airport rewards programme and when I need to I do always check them against the competition but even with discounts they still work out £10-£15 dearer for a weekend away. Although you should still check their website for discounts on duty free and food!!

Whichever independent you choose, just steer clear of the silver zone parking.

Have a great break.

I booked purpleparking through quidco to get £7.50 back in early sept they have not paid quidco yet but it is validated.

Not very close to the airport it is here http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=SA71+4JS&countryCode=GB#map=51.34836,-2.78537|13|4&bd=useful_information&loc=GB:51.34888:-2.78594:17|Bristol|

Hope that helps

But the mini bus was regular, if you live in that side of bristol I would go for it. They kept the keys and moved the car after we arrived, which is somthing I am not totally comfitable with, but i noted mileages (don't reset the trip) and it had not moved far.

Thanks, but we'll be coming from the other direction so it might not be the best
I still have to try this quidco thing!

Hi

Just to endorse some of the other comments for this place. We were running very late for our flight last November due to a road closure - although we had booked the standard parking, we phoned Goblin on the way and when we explained our problem they immediately sent someone to meet us at the airport to collect the car.

Fantastic service, well above the call of duty, that certainly saved our long weekend away - not to mention the cost of the hotel etc. Have tried a few of the others including the silver parking and they don't come close.

Ok, i caved last week. Had to go away for a long weekend and was pressured in to finding cheap parking for bristol airport. My wife booked the Airport Tavern and had they not been looking after my car, I would have found them to be comedy gold - The guy who took us the airport insisted on smoking in his vehicle the whole way way there. When we got to the airport, he just sat there, not helping with bags at all. Another local farm minibus then pulled up and the 2 drivers swore and shouted at each other in front of all the customers. Brilliant service. Just looked at the airport website and I could have parked for a week for just £29. I will stick to my guns next time and will not be using any of the local amateur operations. God knows what they did with my car whilst I was away. use the direct airport website. Its only a few ££ more to park but is definately worth the tiny bit extra.:rotfl:

Saw a post on Twitter - you now get £20 of discount vouchers to spend in the terminal when you book parking through the Bristol Airport Website. I've got my vouchers but havent used them yet. Seems a great deal though.

Used WCP for years and each time I fly I have a quick 'shop round' but never found anyone cheaper than these yet. Can't fault the quality of service either.

Good Tip. I have just booked at Bristol for December. Originally 9 days in the long stay car park was 59 pounds. Joined travel rewards and entered code and got parking for 44.10! Saving of 15! Very pleased

Out of interest, anyone any recent feedback on either The Airport Tavern or the Waggon and Horses?

Airport Tavern has some poor feedback elsewhere, although it may not have been recent.

And there's a place at Winford (or used to be) which we've used before but I can't now find them. Anyone know who that was?

Sorry to be being dense ...
