Where Your Driver Meets You at Bristol
Bristol has one terminal and no stopping on its roads. Your driver waits in arrivals, then walks you over the covered bridge to the car. Parking is our cost, not yours.
Red dot = your driver’s meeting point in arrivals
- BRS
Arrivals
Your driver waits in arrivals with a board showing your name.
We follow your flight, so the driver is inside before you come through, even if you land early. - CAR
Not the Zoom Cars office
Walk past the taxi office on the forecourt; your driver is already waiting for you.
Zoom Cars has been the airport’s official taxi firm since February 2026. Your pre-booked car is separate and parks in the Drop Off & Pick Up car park on the transport interchange, a 3–5 minute walk over the covered bridge.
Dropping someone off yourself? The Drop Off & Pick Up car park costs £8.50 for up to 10 minutes, paid by card at the exit barrier. The free Waiting Zone near the Car Rental Centre gives up to an hour free, with a shuttle bus. Red routes cover the whole site, with a £100 charge for stopping. More in our UK airport drop-off charges guide.
Good to Know Before You Fly from Bristol
Local details that change how you get to and from the airport, checked against official sources in October 2026.
1
The free Waiting Zone has moved
Until 18 December 2026 the free Waiting Zone near the Car Rental Centre is in a temporary spot while it is refurbished. The shuttle bus still runs, and re-entering within 30 minutes brings an automatic charge.
2
Collecting someone yourself adds up
The Drop Off & Pick Up car park is £8.50 for 10 minutes, £13 for up to 40 and £30 for up to an hour. A late flight can make a family pickup cost more than you expect; our fare already covers it.
3
New official taxi firm
Zoom Cars replaced Arrow Cars as the airport’s official taxi firm on 1 February 2026. Many websites still name Arrow.
4
Bus passes do not work here
English concessionary bus passes are not valid on the Airport Flyer to or from the airport.

A38 roadworks and closures
The A38 approach has overnight local closures from time to time, and a package of A38 improvements between Highbridge and the airport is planned.
