There are some important changes that taxi drivers need to be aware of to ensure their journey is smooth for both themselves and passengers.
New Drop Off & Pick Up car park
Taxi and private hire vehicle drivers should follow signs for the new ‘Drop Off & Pick Up’ car park located on the top floor of the PTI, which has more than double the number of spaces compared to the old drop & go area. The Drop Off & Pick Up car park is cashless and uses the latest in automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) ticketless technology. Cameras read vehicle registrat- ions on entry, with payment taken at the exit barrier by contactless or Chip & PIN.
As this is an express car park, prices start at £7.00 for up to 10 minutes, and £9.00 for 10 to 20 minutes. The maximum time vehicles can wait here is two hours, and 1 – 2 hours costs £60.00. It’s important that cars move swiftly through here in order to keep traffic flowing. For trips requiring more time, please go to the Short Stay car park, located just a short walk away from the terminal, where prices start at £7 for 30 minutes. All prices can be found on the website, simply select the parking tab and scroll to the bottom to find parking prices.
Important - height restriction
All drivers should be aware that the Drop Off & Pick Up car park has a height restriction of 2.5m and can only be utilised by vehicles with up to 9 seats. Should your vehicle exceed these requirements, please use the new Minibus & Over Height car park, which is located in the old drop-off and pick-up zone, and has level access. Prices start from £7.00 for up to five minutes. It’s important to use the appropriate car park.
Frequent drivers to Bristol Airport will be aware of the local villages surrounding the Airport and the importance of respecting these local communities, by not waiting or dropping off / collecting passengers

outside of people’s homes, especially during the night, littering and toileting. We ask all drivers to be respectful and mindful of residents.
Waiting Zone
Bristol Airport has a Waiting Zone that offers free parking for the first hour. Drivers can wait here and make use of toilet facilities and litter bins. And passengers can benefit from the complimentary shuttle bus that runs regularly around the clock, from the car rentals car park next to it, taking all passengers directly to the PTI. The Waiting Zone is just over one mile away, simply follow the signs for car rentals and Waiting Zone.
If you are unfamiliar with the new road layout and car park locations, please visit Bristol Airport’s website where there are maps, videos and directions. Please do not stop anywhere outside of car parks, as dropping off and stopping is not permitted.
Public Transport Interchange
The PTI provides a spacious indoor waiting area with seating and modern toilet facilities. If you are dropping off passengers who require assistance, they will find the call points just inside the PTI opposite the new M&S store.
Further projects are planned as part of the Airport’s transformation programme, including construction of a new electric vehicle charging hub.
Airport taxi concession - new tender
The contract for the Airport’s taxi concession is also due to be re-tendered this coming Autumn, so operators are encouraged to register on the Airport’s procurement portal should they wish to receive further details:
