Bristol Airport Silver Zone Parking: The Cheapest On-Site Car Park
Silver Zone is Bristol Airport's largest and lowest-priced car park - an on-airport park-and-ride with more than 11,000 spaces, the biggest airport car park in the UK. You leave your keys at reception, and a free shuttle runs to the terminal in 7-9 minutes. It holds the Park Mark safer-parking award and sits at postcode BS48 3DW.
Silver Zone parking is an on-airport park-and-ride at Bristol Airport with pre-booked rates from around £6.62 per day, a key-drop service, and a free shuttle that reaches the terminal in 7-9 minutes, running every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day.
Pre-booking is the saving: gate prices run far higher, and rates climb as your travel date nears. Silver Zone is built for stays of three days or more, where the low daily rate outweighs the short bus ride. Every vehicle stays inside a fenced, CCTV-monitored site with 24/7 patrols.
How does Silver Zone parking work?
You drive in under ANPR, park in the drop-off area, check in at the self-service kiosk, and leave your keys - the team then moves your car to a secured bay. Keep the green receipt you are given, as you will need it to collect your car. Take the shuttle to the Transport Interchange, which links to the terminal by a covered, flat-level bridge. On return, ride the shuttle back, hand over the green receipt, collect your keys, and the exit barrier lifts automatically by number-plate recognition.
How far is Silver Zone from the terminal?
Silver Zone connects to the terminal by a free shuttle that takes 7-9 minutes and runs every 15 minutes, around the clock. The shuttle drops you at the Transport Interchange, a short covered walk from departures. Buses carry wheelchair ramps and the transfer is included in your price.
Is Silver Zone parking secure?
Yes - Silver Zone holds the Park Mark safer-parking award and is protected by CCTV, ANPR, secure fencing and 24/7 patrols. Park Mark is the British Parking Association standard awarded after a police-assessed security review, so it is a meaningful signal rather than a marketing badge. Your car is kept inside the fenced compound for the whole trip.
Who should choose Silver Zone?
Silver Zone suits budget-minded travellers on holidays of three days or more who are happy with a key drop and a short shuttle. If you want to keep your keys or you are away for only a day or two, compare Long Stay or the walk-on Multi-Storey instead.
