Parking suggestions-Southampton!

[Cruise lady 321]

Hi all , just booked a last minute Iona week -16/7/22. Have just discovered that last minute brings its challenges- no parking available with all usual companies! Has anyone had good experiences of using ‘on-drive’ parking spot services ? Cheers

Might try to find a local hotel that offers a parking package ... a room and parking while on the cruise.  Prevalent here in the US, stress-free and very convenient.  Take a taxi to the pier, or maybe the hotel has a shuttle.

I would ask/research on the British Isles forum.  Link:

Since you ‘re coming from the west, Holiday Extras offering at Marchwood is tolerably convenient. Established and respected organisation. Shuttle-bus service to the ship included.

Thanks for your suggestion re hotel/shuttle - unfortunately we’re unable to stay overnight due visitors staying with us until morning of embarkation!

Thank you 👍.

I remember last year, a lot of people were recommending using the multi storey car park in West Quay. No problems leaving the car there for 7 or 14 days, but I can't find the posts now. Perhaps JB could flesh this out a bit more as he is a local!

 

JB...the floor is yours!!
