Cork - Aircoach - Parking

TopOfTheHill

Hi folks,

I am going to be using the Aircoach for a 1-day trip to Dublin tomorrow and wondering on where is best to leave the car in Cork for the day. Are there any carparks close to the bus collection point, and is it just drive in or do I need to book?

Thank you

If you are returning on the same day you don't need to worry about parking, since it is Sunday. You can find parking around Albert Quay/Victoria road and walk a bit.

Edit: agh, it is Saturday, sorry about that. There is a 24hr parking close to the bus stop, but I never used it. Hope someone here can help you better.

You could use Black Ash ParknRide, or park in Pearse rd by the shops and take 203 to Merchants Qy.

You could use the train station car park. Not a massive walk to the stop

Thanks guys - went with Patrick's Quay in the end - it stays open until midnight which means no pressure getting back too early.

Kent station is €8.50 for one day and €17 for two days. Not sure what you would need if you are returning after midnight

Is Kent Station parking only for train users?

WHL

Don’t think that it is. You pay on the Apcoa app. From what I remember you don’t have to state what train you are on

So you cannot pay at the Train Station in cash at a pay machine?

WHL

I didn’t look for a machine but this suggests that there is one. Euro extra for 24-hour parking https://www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/travel-information/station-car-parking

When you pay for a day, it covers 24 hours from the time of paying - I.e. pay €8.50 on the app at 13.33 on Saturday and you are paid up until 13.33 on Sunday
