Is Meet & Greet the right choice at Bristol?
Meet & Greet wins when time and hassle matter most: early-morning flights, late-night returns, travelling with young children, heavy luggage, or anyone who simply does not want to find a car park and wait for a bus.
Official car parks are arranged as Drop & Go (forecourt), Express (multi-storey), Silver Zone (longer walk) and Long Stay (5-minute shuttle). All four are operated by the airport itself.
- Silver Zone is the airport's own value option but books up early during school holidays, book independents 14+ days out for cheaper alternatives.
- The A38 north of the airport gets congested from 7-9am, leave 20 minutes earlier than usual on weekday mornings.
- Drop & Go costs £8.50 for up to 10 minutes (raised from £7 on 5 January 2026), £10.50 for 10-20 minutes, and increases sharply beyond. The free option is the Long Stay car park with shuttle.
Bristol Meet & Greet parking, your questions
How does Meet & Greet parking work at Bristol Airport?+
You drive to a meet point on the Bristol Airport terminal forecourt, hand your keys to a uniformed driver, and walk straight into departures. Your car is parked in a secure compound and returned to the terminal when you land. There is no shuttle bus at either end.
Is Meet & Greet parking safe at Bristol Airport?+
Yes. Drivers are uniformed and insured to drive customer vehicles, and cars are held in CCTV-monitored, fenced compounds. We flag Park Mark accreditation — the UK's audited safer-parking standard — on every listing that holds it. Photograph your car at handover as a sensible precaution.
Is Meet & Greet more expensive than Park & Ride?+
Usually, yes — you are paying for the time saved and the convenience of a terminal handover. For an early flight, a late return, or a trip with children, most travellers find the premium worth it. For a relaxed trip where a short shuttle ride is no problem, Park & Ride is cheaper.
