Default Difference between asphalt and bitumen?

Folks

My neighbour is getting quotes for surfacing his driveway. He's
getting contractors offering him either a bitumen surface or an
asphalt one for about 50% extra cost (may have that the wrong way
round).

He's asked me and I've no idea what the difference between the two is
and I've no idea. From some brief searches it seems a bit confusing
i.e. bitumen is used to make asphalt?

Can anyone advise on the difference and would you recommend it? The
two prices are about £1,500 vs £2,300 or thereabouts?

thanks
