Although Bristol airport is considered small in comparison to other airports in the country it still offers visitors a few options when dining or shopping.

If you are arriving at the airport and want to collect your rental car then it couldn’t be easier. Bristol airport has a total of 4 top brand rental companies – Avis, Europcar, Hertz and national car hire – all of which are located inside the terminal building and in walking distance of the arrivals hall. If you have pre-booked your car it will be there ready and waiting for you.

If you are departing and want somewhere to relax and grab a bite to eat then subway, burger king, Starbucks or bar zero 9 all offer a comfortable place to order something quickly. If you have time for something a little more upmarket then try out the seafood restaurant which offers a huge selection of wines and the finest champagne and even caviar if you really want to splash out!

As for shopping, there are several magazine and books shops that will let you purchase something to read on your flight and Superdrug is a great place to stock up on your toiletries. A handy tip is if you visit the airport website before your departure you can get coupons which give you discounts on some of the shops!

And another tip to save money is book your car rental in advance, the search feature compares all the companies for you – making sure you get the best deal around, have a great trip!
