Bristol Airport has dedicated motorcycle parking in the Multi-Storey Car Park, at £12.50 per day, in a sheltered, covered area on Level 0 with ground anchors to chain your bike to. It's a separate, signposted area from the main car park, and you're advised to book online in advance, since you can be turned away on the day if the motorcycle area is full. Facts checked directly against Bristol Airport's own site, checked November 2026.
Where is motorcycle parking at Bristol Airport?
Motorcycle parking is inside the Multi-Storey Car Park, on Level 0, clearly marked and separate from the car bays. It's a short walk from the terminal, the same building used for car parking, so once you've parked your bike you follow the same signed walking route into the terminal as Multi-Storey customers. The postcode to enter into a sat nav is BS48 3DY, the same one used for the main Multi-Storey and Short Stay car parks.
How much does motorcycle parking cost at Bristol Airport?
£12.50 per day, booked online in advance. That's a single flat daily rate rather than the tiered pricing used for cars (the Multi-Storey's car rate, for comparison, starts at £70 for 0-24 hours, in our full parking comparison), so a motorcycle works out considerably cheaper than leaving a car in the same building for the same trip.
Payment is cashless: credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. While it's possible to pay on arrival, Bristol Airport advises booking ahead to guarantee a space, since the motorcycle area is a limited-size facility and you can be turned away if it's full when you turn up without a booking.
Is motorcycle parking secure?
The area is covered and sheltered within the Multi-Storey structure, and the whole car park is monitored 24 hours a day. For locking your bike, there are dedicated ground anchors you can chain it to, and you can also secure it to the surrounding fence. Bring your own chain or cable lock and padlock; the airport provides the anchor points but not the lock itself.
Is there helmet storage?
Yes, a limited number of helmet lockers are available in the motorcycle area. You need to bring your own padlock, and you're asked to leave the visor open while the helmet is stored. One practical point to flag: helmets left in a locker for more than four weeks may be removed, so this is designed around a normal holiday-length trip rather than long-term storage.
What happens if I don't book in advance?
You can still pay on arrival if there's space, but Bristol Airport is explicit that you may be turned away if the motorcycle area is full and you haven't pre-booked. Given the area is far smaller than the car park around it, booking ahead is the safer option, particularly in peak holiday periods when more bikes are likely to be left for longer trips.
The car park is monitored 24 hours a day, and the airport reserves the right to remove any motorcycle that isn't parked in the designated area, or to apply a parking charge to one without a valid booking. In practice, this just means parking in the clearly marked bays on Level 0 rather than leaving your bike elsewhere in the Multi-Storey.
