Looking for cheap parking at DFDS Newcastle Ferry Terminal

Any cheap secure parking nearby or will I have to pay the £12 a day at the port.
I have a cunning plan!
Proud to be dealing with my debts.

    There isn't any other secure parking anywhere near the ferry port

    no other parking at the DFDS Terminal, in Newcastle
    http://www.dfdsseaways.co.uk/customer_service/car_parking/car_parking - £12 a day it is (or you an risk parking at my house for free, 9 miles from the port)
  • Does anyone know if the car park is pay and display or pay on exit?

  • It's pay on exit for anyone reading this in the future.

    Wow, £12 a days is a bit expensive, the price at Hull Docks is £5 per 24 hour period so if you go on a mini cruise
    it only costs a tenner.

    Where are you driving from,
    There is a bus from Central Station a 4 ish each day to the ferry terminal

    costs about £3, if you live in Newcastle it might be worth it or indeed finding somewhere safe in Newcastle to park if you live out a bit.

    Money saving idea on the ferry, get yourself a little travel kettle and an adaptor. With coffee and tea at £2 a shot it will payfor itself on just one trip, you can get them for about £8.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
