With many getting away to more pleasantly sunny climes from Bristol Airport this summer, it may come as a surprise to see that car parking charges have gone up from just a few months ago. Back in March 2022, the charges to access the Airport's Silver Zone, long stay and multi-storey car parks were cheaper than they are now mid-August - and they have fluctuated month-to-month this year.
In March 2022, prices at the long stay car park cost £45 for 0-24 hours, up to £123 for five days, with a £10 extra per day following that. Now, a space in the same car park will cost you £50 for 0-24 hours, up to £135 for five days, and an extra £12 per day after that.
With the cost of living on the rise, and rising prices seeming an unfortunate norm, Bristol Live contacted Bristol Airport to ask for confirmation as to why the price rise is so frequent. Bristol Airport has explained exactly why the car parking charges change so regularly, and it may not be for the reason you would expect.
