Bristol Airport has confirmed it raises the prices to park there depending on how many spaces are left, after a man shared his shock at being quoted an eye-watering £105.99 to park at the airport for 24 hours.
Davy McGimpsey said it was ‘absolutely scandalous’ that this happens, and the price to park at the airport should be set and never change depending on demand. The Belfast man, who is based in Bristol, needed to fly back to Belfast for 24 hours at short notice, and said he ended up getting a taxi to and from the airport as a cheaper option.
He said when he went to book parking, all the car parks were full except for the new multi-storey car park, which quoted him £105.99 for a 24 hour stay - that’s £4.41 an hour. When Bristol Live made enquiries about parking at the airport for 24 hours, the airport’s website quoted a variety of figures depending on the car park, but all around £80-£90.
