Valet Meet & Greet |
|
|
|
First and foremost, all disabled passengers should note that in the name of security the blue and orange disabled badge scheme does not apply on Bristol Airport's road system. So, any unattended vehicles will receive a parking fine and maybe towed away. Do note however that passengers are able to be dropped off or picked up directly outside the airport terminal however.
Help buttons can be found on all car park entry barriers.
Larger disabled bays are situated in the long and short term car parks. Wheelchair friendly minibuses are also available.
The most convenient car parking service for any disabled traveller at Bristol Airport is the Valet meet and greet parking. This service means there is no a transfer bus from the car park to the terminal.
Disabled travellers simply arrive at the airport terminal to meet their Meet and Greet Rep. Passengers head straight to check in whilst their car is taken to a safe car park for the duration of their trip. On the return journey the car is brought to the airport terminal by the Meet and Greet Rep.
Valet meet and greet provides disabled travellers at Bristol Airport with a stress-free start to their trip, and an equally stress-free finish. As well as being perfect for disabled passengers, the Valet Meet and Greet is also ideal for families with young children, those with sports equipment or heavy bags and corporate travellers.
A typical Vale Meet and Greet parking service costs, varying from operator to operator, £83 for one week and £118 for two weeks.
Pre-booking Valet parking is essential - book today by visiting www.HelpMeTravel.co.uk. |
