Parking on Downside Road, BS48

A good idea but need to offer a lift to and from the airport as its not a 5 min walk. On my return it wasnt great, didnt know where I was walking and the short cut was fenced off which meant walking on a road with suitcases in complete darkness, dangerous and took a total of 20 min to get to my car. My car had obviously been moved and was very muddy inside the car from muddy feet.

Really friendly and helpful. Short walk to the airport.

Brilliant location, 5 min walk from the airport. Very easy communication via text messages and always a prompt polite reply. will definitely park there again!

I am pleased with the service.

We found somewhere to park when we flew from Bristol Airport. Easy to book, barely half a mile from the airport perimeter so we could walk from the parking place, and we saved money. We were nervous about leaving the car keys with someone we had never met but there were no scratches or signs of misuse on our return. Even so, some upfront information about insurance would be welcome.

The description here neglects to mention that not only are you required to leave your key, your car may be driven offsite, to an unknown location which isn't photographed or described in the advert. I only found out it was being taken off site when I logged into my cars GPS online and realised it had been driven a couple of miles away, otherwise I would have no idea. I suspect this has happened to a lot of the other drivers who have given 5 star reviews and don't have similar GPS tracking systems. I would not have chosen this "parking space" if I had known I would need to leave my keys with strangers for a week. I would certainly not have chosen it had I known some random person with unknown insurance coverage would be driving to an undisclosed location for the entire duration. I've also complained to Just Park as I don't think an uninsured valet service should be appearing on the website describing itself as a secure parking space, but they don't seem to be very concerned.

Good communication, no frills parking, short walk to the airport, owner supplied instructions and delivered what was promised. Tricky to find the right property in the dark - the driveway to enter will have a line of cars up the right hand side, the house has a blue front door. Google street view or ask the owner for a pic of the entrance. Before booking we read horror reviews of this kind of parking, we had no issues at all. If we can't park at BRS or it's cheaper to park here, we'll be back.

Great spot to park

I'm going to try to be fair. The location is great and the walk to the airport entrance can't be more than 10 mins. However, note that you have to leave your keys. I'd cancelled one booking which turned out to be offsite parking and when I received a text about leaving keys I thought it related to the first one so I didn't leave my keys. Tbh I would have tried to have cancelled anyway as I've had bad experiences before. Parked at 7am, no owner and plenty of spaces and I parked between two cars at the rear. Later that day received further message and the owner's response was to charge me another £40 for "inconvenience" on the basis that it is August and they are really busy. This is not parking on someone's drive. It is a commercial business and they are cramming cars in, double-stacked and therefore need your keys to move people in and out. It was made pretty clear that I wasn't going to get out without paying the additional "fee" so I did and when we returned from our 2 days away, it was really crammed and cars were not parked in normal spaces where you could get in and out normally but so close as to maximise the number of cars on the area available. Personally, I'd rather pay the £90 for a proper space rather than £50 and not know who or how many times your car is going to be moved and squeezed into spaces. This feeling was vindicated as we were reversing out when someone (not sure if it was a customer or someone from the car park) was reversing a white Mercedes out and managed to take off the wing mirror of the car next door. Don't have a problem with anyone trying to run a business but you are supposed to be paying for a space and they are just trying to cram too many people onto too small a site imo. That said, our car was fine, it's easy to find and the location is great.

Easy walk to the airport. There's 20m of road walking without a pavement however perfect for those wanting quick airport access. Seamless service and great communication.
