Returning to car park after paying for ticket.

I will be going to a car park that has a charge of £1.80 for 4 hours.

Car park is patrolled by Vinci parking.

I will only be in the car park for 30 minutes at most, about 10:30 am, then I will be returning in 9 hours time for 2 hours.

In total I will be parked for 2 and a half hours.

Would you buy another ticket for the evening?

    yes because your first ticket will be time stamped, it's 4 hours from time of purchase not any four hours of your choosing. Although when buying the first ticket I'd check the pay and display hours to see if i'd need to buy one in the evening.

    Yes if one is required at that time.

    As has been said you have not purchashed "4 hours" parking, your original ticket is for "a period of parking up to but not exceeding 4 hours from the issue time of the ticket".

    Obvious I would have thought.
