Bristol Airport parking, directions, transfers | BRS airport guide

Bristol Airport is 8 miles south of the city centre and offers charter, domestic and international flights.  Most of the destinations are served by low-cost airlines EasyJet and Ryanair.

Passengers come from around Avon, Somerset, Dorset and Wales to use the airport.  The closest train station is Bristol Temple Meads, which is 7 miles away.  There is a shuttle bus which takes you from there to the airport.  It also calls at Bristol Bus Station, where coaches arrive from around the South West and South Wales.  The shuttle bus takes about half an hour to get to the airport and services run every 15 minutes at peak times but less frequently during the evening and early hours of the morning.

If you’re coming by car, there are several parking options on site. 

Bristol Airport Parking

All the official airport car parks have been given the Park Mark Award for Safer Parking.  There are courtesy buses serving the car parks 24 hours a day.  The on site car parks are expensive, but spaces can be booked in advance online for cheaper prices.

The Silver Zone car park is for stays of over 4 days and is the cheapest option.  The journey to terminal by courtesy bus takes 5-6 minutes.  The Long Stay car park is suitable for stays of over one day and the courtesy bus takes 3-4 minutes to reach the terminal.  The Premier car park is closest to the terminal.  It is a 3-4 minute walk away.  A meet and greet parking service is also on offer.  This allows you to drop off your car on the Terminal Forecourt.  A driver will take it away to the car park and when you return, your car will be waiting for you adjacent to Arrivals.  The Short Stay car park and Rapid Pick Up car parks are for dropping off and collecting passengers and cannot be booked in advance.  For a premium, you can book Priority Parking, which allows you to leave your car just metres from the Terminal, for between 1 and 5 days.

There are a number of off site car parks which are priced competitively.  Some offer courtesy transport to and from the Terminal and others offer their own meet and greet services.  If you shop around you can find a good deal.
