When you take a look at the Airport Taxis website, you will soon notice that this is unlike any other website which offers airport parking facilities. As we explore the site you will see how the different services apply to each part of the business.
General information about Airport Taxis
The Airport Taxis website can be accessed at www.airporttaxis-uk.co.uk. As you can see, the main service offered on this site is airport taxis, which will meet you at Bristol Airport (or any other airport in the UK) and then take you wherever you want to go. This will mean that you don’t have to worry about parking at all.
It is designed for professional users though, such as business people, rather than for holidaymakers – although they can still use the service. The driver will usually meet you inside the building, rather than outside.
But if airport parking is what you want, you will find a small link to this service at the top of the page, entitled ‘parking’. This actually takes you to another site, although it looks exactly the same. This is www.airportcarparkinguk.co.uk.
Airport Taxis at Bristol Airport
There are two main types of parking you can choose from when you use Airport Taxis booking for Bristol Airport.
You cannot get a good look at the different types of parking available until you actually enter your booking dates in the spaces provided. But after entering several different dates and times, there appears to be a choice of two.
The first one is via A and J Holiday Parking. Their car park is located a couple of miles outside Bristol Airport itself, which means that once you arrive you will leave your car and catch the shuttle bus to the airport. This is a short and quick journey, so you should find it painless.
The second option is the Silver Zone car parking choice. This is a long stay car park that is situated one and a half miles away from Bristol Airport, although it is still referred to as being on site. Transfer is via shuttle bus. You drive into the car park and then a member of staff transfers your car to an area that is well secured for the duration of your time away.
Make sure you take a good look at the additional information that appears with each option. Hit the ‘more info’ button to read this in another window. Doing this will help you to make the right choice.
What facilities does the company offer to drivers wanting to park there?
The security in all the car parks at Bristol Airport is very good. The one thing that distinguishes the Silver Zone car park from the A and J Holiday Parking option is that your car and number plate are registered when you arrive at the Silver Zone car park. This is done automatically and ensures all the details of your car are held.
Needless to say, security cameras and staff are present at both locations. Airport Taxis books your parking requirements on behalf of the actual car park owners.
Is there anything you should be aware of?
When the results come up for the dates you wish to use Bristol Airport parking for, you will notice that a series of frequently asked questions appear underneath. It is well worth reading these since they will give you more information on how the site works. You will also know what to expect from your booking.
In particular, it is worth reading about what you should expect if a cancellation needs to be made. In this case, you need to give 48 hours notice, but a small fee is payable.
One other point that is worth bearing in mind is that depending on when you want parking dates for, you might only get one option returned to you in the results screen. For example, a recent experiment to find parking at Bristol Airport only turned up one option for booking a space in the forthcoming week. The further ahead you book, the better the chances are of getting more than one choice.
In conclusion
This site isn’t quite as user friendly or comprehensive as some other airport car parking websites, but it still offers a smooth booking process and plenty of information about the services offered. If you are in need of quick and easy airport parking at Bristol Airport, and you are pretty sure of what you want, then you can make your booking nice and easily on this website.
