Car Hire Bristol Airport

As Bristol Airport is located outside of Bristol town centre, car hire is one of the easiest modes of transport to get to the airport. You can choose to hire either self-drive or chauffeur driven car hire from Bristol Airport and it is up to you which would be most suitable for your transport needs.

There are 6 car hire providers located at Bristol Airport. The pick-up and drop-off locations are close to the terminal building next to the Long Stay Car Parks. The car hire pick-up and drop off is signposted and within walking distance of the terminal building.

You can choose to book your car hire upon arrival at the airport, but you may miss out on deals or discounts plus you may have less choice on what vehicle you can hire. Therefore, you should try and hire your car in advance so you save money and have the reassurance you have your preferred vehicle.

*Calls to this number will cost up to 7p per minute plus your phone company's network access charge.

Important information you need before you rent a car

And of course, a few handy tips!

• Book ASAP: You can use the Car Hire Centre gadget above to get a quote and find the cheapest rates for your journey.
• Get to know your vehicle: Be sure to familiarise yourself with the car before you leave the car hire centre. Check you're up-to-date on UK driving laws and if anything's in a different place - such as Fiat 500s and KAs have a much higher gear stick to what you might be used to!
• Keep double-checking: When you get the keys to your car or van, make sure to check over it for any damage. Take note of any slight scratches, body paint issues/ irregularities, seat quality (like any potential smudges or cigarette marks). We recommend taking pictures as evidence and to let the rental staff know of any pre-existing damage so you can avoid being charged for someone else's damage when you return it.
• Opt for a Sat-Nav: Especially if you don't know the area and don't want to get charged for all that data on your phone!
