As the name would suggest, this is probably one of the most distinctive companies you could find when it comes to parking facilities at the airport. And that is all thanks to the choice of purple for its colour scheme!
General information about Purple Parking
The company has its own website at www.purpleparking.com. You can find out all you need to know about the company there, including the fact that it has won a total of five awards when it comes to providing various parking facilities.
They don’t provide the full range of services at every airport they serve, so if you are heading somewhere other than to Bristol Airport it would pay you well to check out their website first. This will enable you to see what is on offer.
On every page of their website you will see the list of airports they serve listed on the left hand side of the page. These are all clickable links, so if you look down the list you will see a link for Bristol about half way down.
Purple Parking at Bristol Airport
Purple Parking has two different types of airport parking for you to consider at Bristol Airport. The one you choose will depend on what type of service you are happy to pay for.
The first one is the standard park and ride scheme. The car park itself is situated some six miles away from the airport, and once you arrive and park you will need to go and see them at the reception point to check in. They run a courtesy bus to take you the rest of the way to the airport, and when they know you are ready to go they will send a bus to collect you.
The second option you can choose from is better if you want to arrive and get going as quickly as possible. The meet and greet service is referred to as chauffeured parking at Purple Parking, and you will need to drive to the airport itself to take advantage of this service, having previously booked it on their website.
You need to phone them when you are about to arrive so that they are there and waiting to meet you at the proper location. You will find all the in depth details on their website. The chauffeur will then take your car to their secure car park, where it will stay while you are away.
What facilities does the company offer to drivers wanting to park there?
The facilities vary depending on which type of parking you choose, since the locations will be different. The park and ride car park is monitored constantly throughout the day and night, and the security measures that have been put in place are second to none.
Security cameras have been installed at various points throughout the car park, and the whole area is fenced in. This would make it extremely difficult for anyone to get in and gain access to any of the vehicles parked there while their owners are away.
Similar facilities are on offer with the chauffeured parking option. But here there are also dog patrols which regularly walk the car park to check that everything is okay.
Is there anything you should be aware of?
If you should need to cancel your booking for any reason, you will only be refunded fully if you cancel by giving the minimum of one day’s notice. If you give less than this you will be required to pay a charge, which is currently set at £25. If you don’t notify them at all for any reason, then your fee is lost and you cannot get it back.
You can also get a simple, quick and easy quotation on the Purple Parking website.
In conclusion
If you need to get parked safely at Bristol Airport, then Purple Parking can certainly make it happen. It is a very familiar name in the parking world, and the two services it offers to drivers are both well thought out and offer a safe and secure way of keeping your car free from harm while you are away.
Although you will obviously pay more for the chauffeured parking option, there is nothing quite like being able to walk out of the terminal building on your return and walk straight up to your car. Now that is a service worth paying the additional money for!
In short, you can trust your car to Purple Parking, no matter where you are going or how long you will be gone for.
