We accept Visa, Mastercard, Delta, Maestro, American Express, JCB, Electron and Solo for pre-booking. We are unable to accept any other form of payment via this website or the call centre. Please note if you choose to pay by credit card, you will be charged a £1.50 credit card fee. We do not charge a fee for debit cards.

Payment at the car park
We accept all major credit and debit cards as well as cash at the car park pay machines. Receipts are available on request. Please note if you choose to pay by credit card, you will be charged a £1.50 credit card fee. We do not charge a fee for debit cards.

We introduced this charge because, like many other regional airports, Bournemouth Airport has seen passenger numbers decline during the recession. Despite that, we invested over £45 million in redeveloping the airport. Although passenger numbers are slowly recovering, we need to continue improving the airport to attract the new airlines and destinations that our passengers tell us they want.

We have examined what some other similar sized airports are doing and considered different options but we settled upon introducing this charge. Other regional airports around the country have also recently introduced a range of charges for drop off/ pick up.

Although only a minority of passengers will be affected, the extra revenue that it will generate will help to make sure that we are able to keep investing in the airport which will ultimately lead to more airlines flying to more destinations.

Bournemouth Airport’s car park charges are amongst the lowest in the UK which is why the majority of our passengers leave their cars at the airport while they are away. The new charge will have no impact on these passengers at all.

The charge, of course, has a secondary environmental benefit, as it reduces the number of car journeys to and from the airport. However the primary rationale is commercial.

In addition, passengers who live in Bournemouth can take advantage of our hourly shuttle bus service, which is also a more sustainable form of transport. Call 01202 557007 or visit www.bournemouth-airport-shuttle.co.uk for more information.
