Cheap Airport Parking: West/SW England Airports Airport hints, tips and local parking

Amatrix

Sue, there used to be a warehouse building near Winford that I used to drive past which was shut down by the council as they didn't give them planning permission for change of use from agriculture (they went through a phase of that not long ago presumably after bullying from "interested parties"). Suggest you try some of the other services recommended on the thread depending on which direction you are coming from.

Thanks, I wondered if that was what had happened. It wasn't a warehouse, but seemed to be a sideline of a farm.

Last time I booked, I managed to confuse them with the mushroom farm at WCP! Mercifully I realised at about midnight before a 7 am flight, or we'd have driven to entirely the wrong place! WCP was OK, but its location is less than ideal for us. So this time we're trying the Airport Tavern, will report back in due course! At least I know exactly where it is ...

There is no better car park than that at Goblin Combe.
Roger, Jane and Lee provide an excellant, efficient, reliable and valued service.
You would be mad to park your car anywhere else.

There is a decent company I've used when I flew from Bristol Airport last year. They are http://www.bvpbristolairportparking.com

Thought I'd throw another one into the equation.

Anyone got any discount codes for these?

Reminds me I said I'd report back on the Airport Tavern. Does what it says on the tin, but we've also used the Waggon and Horses, which are marginally further away but still on the A38 to the airport from Bristol.

Having spent a cold day at the Airport Tavern waiting for a friend who was diverted to Cardiff, I think the Waggon and Horses has the edge: slightly better loos and coffee!

I've not flown from Newquay. What are the car parking charges like? Do you know who runs it? I am travelling from there in April so would love to find best deal. Thanks.

I can add a plus one to the Goblin Combe recommendations. I parked with them for 4 days last weekend for £23 and found the service to be excellent. The minibus was prompt at both ends and the whole operation was very efficient. I will definitely use them again.

In recent years we've used 4 local car parks, without any problems. However we are now less inclined to do so. It is impossible to establish if they have proper insurance, we do not know exactly where cars are parked ( in a field? any security?) and if any damage happens that they reject, would our insurers pay up, hving handed over the keys? We would hope that a large,presumably reputable operator like silverzone would deal responsibly with any complaints. Also, in our experience, "unofficial" sites have been about the same price as "official" ones.On one occasion we did not notice the minibus because it only had a small sign in the front window, resulting in another half hour wait and a disgruntled driver.

Hi,

We have relatives travelling from Exeter Airport soon. Pls does anyone have any recommendations for cheap airport parking or meet and greet from Exeter for around 2 weeks?

Many thanks in advance.

Exeter Options:

Having trawled a few sites I finally tried http://www.best-airport-parking-deals.co.uk and it was easily the cheapest (£25 for a week).

Strangely, parking will be with BCP but if I go direct thru their website it works out around £45 - via http://www.best-airport-parking-deals.co.uk gets a better price.

Other options were http://www.parkonmydrive.com but £25 for a week, actually on the airport (no transfers) was good enough for me.

Hope this helps ! Tim
