How much is your car worth?

How much are you paying to go on holiday?

£60 is not a lot for peace of mind that I will be able to drive my car home on my return.

well Im on money saving forum so probably for a reason I like to save money when possible, I dont like to pay more than I need to and rather spend my money on things I want to (->travelling) .  Im backpacking on a budget through Israel Jordan Palestine. My car is piece of !!!!!! lol fiat panda 2015 . I will think it through, still have time. Thanks tho!

Yes, however, money saving does not mean cheapest.
Money saving is thinking something through and choosing the best value for money.

thank you for this valuable lesson which I didnt ask for ...

Hi,

Im going on holiday abroad and have noticed that cheap airport car parks are no longer cheap. twice the price atm (over £60 for 2 weeks at Edinburgh airport) so Im planning to take a bus but its at 3am and I dont want to pay for taxi as its gonna be £30return plus bus tickets. no point doing that .Im thinking I could leave a car parked at business park where the bus leaves from. Its a massive place with office buildings and hotel and not all have signs or barriers to prevent you from parking. for example hotel doesnt and few other spots. Can I do that or I will be fined or something else going to happen? thanks!

Is there any notice up at the hotel about having to register your can number with your booking? Some Premier Inns work that way to avoid office workers using the car parking?

While a private parking charge in a private invoice the company can claim through the small claims court and if they win you will probably pay more than if you had paid the charge.

I will swing by after work. But if there is no notices like -parking only for customers, workers or limited time Im assuming they dont have anything against parking your car there, right?

No, you can't assume you can park on private land just because of an absence of signage saying you can't.

Like I said, there are places you can legally park if you're catching the bus.

If it's private land.. why should they have to put signs up telling people not to park there? I don't have sign in my driveway buit I'd be annoyed if someone parked there and went on holiday

how do I know who owns it tho? Ive tried Search for land and property information on gov.co.uk and this post code/ street doesnt show up at all. it looks like a regular road. making someone annoyed its not the end of the world right?;)

If this in Edinburgh Park, then IIRC all the parking/roads in the business park are privately managed, the PI has a registration system for residents and the station car park is £4 per day, which can be booked through an app/website.

The nearest city park and ride to the airport does not allow multi-day parking and IIRC shuts overnight.

IITC, although the Trams go-off around midnight, the Airline 100 bus does operate 24/7 from Waverley/Haymarket although after some point, it does run half-hourly through the night.

So you can get out there without too much hassle.

You don't need to know who owns it. You just need to be able to distinguish between (a) public roads and (b) things which aren't public roads, which is generally done using your common sense.

If you have a specific location in mind, post the details here and we'll try to help.

Lists the length you can park up for. Some do not allow overnight parking.
