free or cheap disabled parking near guild street Aberdeen

Hi,

Hoping for some help here. Staying at the Jurys Inn 16/11 and have a blue badge. Where would be the best place to park overnight? We can drop of the person with limited mobility before parking the car if that makes a difference. TIA.

The information is on their website.

Yes I did see the information but thought £15 was quite a lot for overnight parking and wondered if there was somewhere cheaper or free, say within a 30 min walk. We are unfamiliar with parking in Aberdeen but have found various other options in other cities by asking on here.

Cheap parking in Aberdeen is a bit of a lost hope TBH. All the city centre and well outside is now zoned-up and charged heavilly.

The cheapest near Jury's Inn is usually APCOA on Commercial Quay Quay by the Shetland ferry terminal a five minute walk away but it may be no cheaper than Jury's rates - or you may be able to find a discount here?

NCP Shiprow is also very handy but again dearer, unless you can find a discount.

The very limited amount of free night time parking (8pm-8am) at either end of Union Square around the Green or in the fishhouse zone is not particularly safe to leave a car due to the amount of Junkies looking for stuff to steal. I've been broken into at both.

If you don't mind walking a bit further, the road along the beach is maybe the only free parking you can still find. The council keep threatening to impose a waiting time but they never seem to reach agreement with the Harbour Board who still own most of it. Up near the cafes/fairground is probably the safest bit as it is under CCTV but plenty commercials and people in motorhomes park-up at the harbour end near Fittie, so you may do ok there?
