bolton street car parking.

davedfc

Starting in bolton street on monday and because i cant check into my accomodation till during the day,we're wondering what parking facilities are near the college?

there is broadstone (free) but you need to get there very early to get a space... the car park right beside the building.. part of the cinema building offers a 7 day student ticket for 30e (days dont have to be consecutive). the office is along the side you enter into the carpark on... might be up a level i cant remember.

The Volt

Use the Q-Park on Parnell Street. It's only €5 for the day when you validate the card at the porter's desk.

This, but he means the porters desk in the car park rather than the college, though I'm sure you copped that :rolleyes: It's a little tricky to find the entrance if you don't know the area due to the one way system, entrance is on Loftus lane - http://g.co/maps/556br

ILAC is apparently quite cheap as of a few months ago when I was talking to people about it, although I'm not sure if that's still the case.

yea i was too lazy to post the link but sdeire is 100% correct, you have to loop around parnell st back onto loftus lane, no access from kings inn st. but if your going to have the car a few times the 30e 7 day ticket is worth your time

Not too sure, I'm not based there. I know there is one at the desk that's near the courtyard. Do you know which one I'm talking about?

Yup, that'd be the King's Inns St. entrance.

Thanks for all your replies. See the below link its says its only 5 euro for the day if you validate your ticket with a dit students card. Im only starting tomorrow so wont get a student card till later in the week. Do you think i'd be able to get the ticket validated without one?

Probably not in the car park, but the porter won't ask for a student.card, the validator will be sitting on the desk and you can just punch it yourself.

Great and just to be 100% sure the car park is the ilac shopping centre car park? Just i dont know the area and il be working off a sat nav.

No, the ILAC is a seperate car park. Parnell Street is a ParkRite place and is closer to the college (literally right beside it).

Both appear to be the same price but I know Parnell is €5 for sure because I use it regularly.
