Special parking discounts

We have slashed the price of parking in the city by 20% and in some cases 50% to support our residents and businesses during the recession. The parking discount is for selected car parks and applies to parking Season Tickets and Pay As You Park cards. Details of where the car parks are, the different discounts and how to apply for them are listed below.

50% off - Six Dials and Trinity Road Car Parks

The discount applies to cash prices for these two car parks, both of which are close to the Royal South Hants hospital and have been cut in half for staff, patients and visitors. The cost of parking works out as £3.70 for a day.

20% off - Pay as You Park card

The Pay As You Park cards can be used in any of the city council's multi storey car parks (except West Park multi storey car park) (see downloadable map for locations). They are designed for less frequent visitors. Like a mobile phone top up card you charge them up with your credit or debit card at the pay stations in the car park. You simply present your Pay as You Park card at the entry barrier to gain access, and at the exit barrier to pay for your stay and exit the car park.

You will automatically get a 20% discount on the normal prices when you pay with this card.

Pay As You Park cards can be purchased from £50 (or more if preferred) and topped up whenever you need to. Pay As You Park cards are great for people who sometimes would prefer not to drive and who cycle, catch the bus or the train.

Apply by downloading and completing an application form (see below) or by visiting the Cash Office at the Civic Centre or telephoning 023 8083 3468.

Infrequent users may wish to obtain a ‘nil value’ Pay as You Park card which can be topped up with as little as £5.00. To obtain a ‘nil value’ Pay as You Park card use the special ‘nil value…’ application form below and return it to the address on the application form marked for the attention of Jas Sahota.

20% off - Season Parking Tickets

Our season ticket can be used in a number of the city council's off road car parks (see downloadable map for locations). Ideal if you work or live in the city centre, this Season Ticket means you can pay up front for anything from a month up to a year. You simply display the season ticket on your parked car.

You can now buy a monthly five day Season Ticket for £136, this is a reduction of £34 on the original price of £170. Season Tickets are also available for three, six and twelve month durations and can be used on up to four vehicles, enabling you to share the cost with colleagues.

Apply by downloading and completing an application form (see below) or by visiting the Cash Office at the Civic Centre.

Overnight Parking Pass

If you want somewhere safe and secure to leave your car overnight and you live in the city centre, you can now buy an Annual Overnight Parking Pass for £250 for any of multi-storey car parks. Our car parks have CCTV and are well lit with barriers to enter and exit.
