Default Parking at Bristol Airport: Who's Best?

Need to park the scoob for a week. Any recommendations (and just as important ones to avoid)?

Cheers.

With the history of performance cars & airport parking I would say all of them tbh. Can you not get a lift / bus / leave a ****er in the carpark instead?

There was a thread on here a while ago saying that after a holiday their car had a fair few miles on the clock and was bogging dirty So, what about the Airport Bus that runs along the M4 to Bristol M8

hey im from bristo if i was u i would tend to not really use any of them to park ur car as said before can u not get a lift or park a ****ter there. they are all known for the odd break ins now and again plus all the car parks are just on old farms or pubs along the A38 not really that secure if u were to get a train to britol there is a bus that takes u straight to the air port.

Avoid if you can.

1)My Golf had it's headlight smashed by a large piece of gravel - They haven't even tarmacced it and it's just coarse lumps of rock.
2)It's the most expensive airport parking in the UK.
3)They say they have CCTV - I challenge you to find a single camera.
4)Car crime in Bristol is shocking - I had to sell a nice car because of it.

The airports own parking is good and very safe, but avoid using the short term bit - last time I used that it cost me something like £35 for just over a day!

If you drive a decent scoob like a 22B or newish one I would avoid the park-in-a-field jobs!

Left the scoob home and took my Dads battered escort up last year. Not worth the hassle of wondering if your car is going to be there when you get back off holiday.

We used the Silver parking which is just down the road from bristol airport. I parked the scoob there Christmas 2005 for a week and it was fine. I parked in the same one again this Christmas (not scoob though) this year when we drove in, we had to stop at the barrier where the car had pictures taken from all angles, then the barrier lifted and let you in. I guess that is protecting them against any damage to your car.

But like anywhere there is a risk that something may or may not happen to your car
