- Shore thing…significant cost savings by parking on a pre-booked rented driveway or empty space rather than a traditional car park
- Parking price saving of 86 per cent in one seaside resort if pre-booking with YourParkingSpace.co.uk
- The long summer holiday can be a costly affair, pre-booked parking is one way to save money
With the summer holidays in full swing, day trippers to some of the UK’s most popular seaside resorts can slash their parking costs by pre-booking rented driveways and empty spaces to park on.
Top coastal cost savings can be found in Great Yarmouth, Brighton, Bournemouth and Margate, just some of the beach resorts identified by online parking portal YourParkingSpace.co.uk.
Pre-booking a space with YourParkingSpace.co.uk in Great Yarmouth could cost as little as £3, compared to £22.60 at a traditional car park, while in Bournemouth there are potential savings of more than £14, in Brighton savings of £10 and in Margate savings of almost £6.
Harrison Woods, managing director at YourParkingSpace.co.uk, said: “Parking at a seaside resort can be expensive for those using a traditional car park.
“However, significant seaside savings can be made by spending a few minutes online and booking a driveway or empty space instead, many of which are located closer, or just as close, to the beach.”
Other examples where Brits heading to the seaside can make parking savings by pre-booking a driveway or empty space include Blackpool, Bognor Regis, Weymouth and Torquay.
Harrison added: “A trip to the seaside is always great fun but in the excitement mundane matters, such as the cost of parking, are easily forgotten.
“The money saved by parking on a pre-booked driveway could be used for much more enjoyable things, like ice creams or some refreshing cold drinks.”
