Bristol Airport sits on the edge of the Mendip Hills, south-west of the city, so Cheddar Gorge, Bath and the Somerset coast are all close by. Compare on-site and off-airport suppliers side by side and see what your hire really costs.
Where to collect your car
Most major brands work from the Car Rental Centre on the airport site, next to the Silver Zone car park. A couple of independent firms are off-airport along the A38 and Bridgwater Road. Check the pick-up type on each offer, and follow the directions on your voucher when you land.

Tips
Before you set off
Bristol Clean Air Zone
A small central zone charges cars that don't meet emission standards. Most hire cars comply, but check if you're heading into the centre.
Mendips on the doorstep
Cheddar Gorge and Wells are a short drive south. Expect narrow, winding lanes once you leave the main roads.
Refuel on the way back
On a Full to Full policy, fill up before you return so you don't pay the supplier's refuelling charge.
