Top tips for hiring a car at Bristol Airport

  • Bristol Airport (BRS) serves Bristol city and is often busy with business travellers. This means public transport to the city is often crowded, especially during rush-hour periods, and you may have to wait in long queues to purchase tickets. Car hire at Bristol Airport cuts back on your travel time by allowing you to move straight from the terminal to your rental counter to pick up your car. Perfect if you are rushing to make an important meeting or if you want to get on the road as soon as you arrive.
  • Bristol Airport is situated just off the A38, which takes you north into Bristol city, just a 15min drive away. This makes car hires at Bristol Airport a convenient option if you want to travel by road. A car hire also gives you access to many of the scenic, rural areas that are located nearby. For example, if you drive south on the A38, you can join the A368, which connects with Mendip Hills National Park. You can also drive west along the A368 to reach the many seaside areas along the southwest coast, such as Weston-Super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea. Perfect if you’re travelling to Bristol on a family vacation and want to take a drive out to the beach.
  • If you plan to do a lot of driving in Bristol city centre, you will probably find yourself navigating heavy traffic. Car hire at Bristol Airport has some great fuel-efficient and low emissions options that are ideal for this. For example, there is a Green Motion car hire branch just a shuttle ride away from BRS. Green Motion offers a range of reduced-emissions and electric vehicles, which are great for short journeys. You can also hire an electric car from Enterprise when you hire with Bristol Airport.
  • Most of the car hire companies available at BRS are open during the weekdays but may be closed or run a reduced service in the evenings or at weekends. It is important to be aware that some companies, such as Enterprise and Hertz, require vehicles to be returned during business hours. To enjoy the largest choice of car rental services available, it is a good idea to collect and return your vehicle during the weekdays as most branches are open during this time.

After driving the car for a day, we realized that it was someone else’s name on the reservation form. Because there is no 800 number to call in the UK, we were charged for a 2 hr long phone call where we were told we’d be comped for the day we spent on the phone trying to get it sorted out. We were never comped the day, and were just stuck with the phone bill. On top of that, I discovered that we were being charged for insurance that I didn’t want because we had our own insurance. Budget rental for sure, but comes at a higher cost.

Hi, I’m somewhat fed up with searching prices via the website and realising time and time again that the headline price has no relevance to the final price charged. Extra charges such as additional drivers, airport pick up surcharges were never mentioned either on the website or at the europcar desk . Additional charges appeared on my credit card several days after dropping the car that were not verbalised or highlighted prior to rental - seems somewhat unfair! Surely this should be more regulated!? The car itself was fine , although didn’t appreciate multiple attempts by the desk sales to upgrade the vehicle at the pick up point , feels like a lot of effort goes into up selling.
