Really handy multi storey car park just off the Dublin Road. £2.50 for 1 hour. £5 for two hours. Open until midnight. Pay on foot at machine. When we visited both machines were only accepting correct change. read more

St Anne's Square Car Park
(2 reviews)
Not the sexiest thing to review but a useful one none the less. St Anne's Square Car Park is a Q…read morepark car park. This means it's safe, secure and has all the car park mod cons such as credit card payment system and secure access. As far as car parks go this one is pretty good. The spaces are larger than most so you won't have to worry about getting your car bumped. It is also very centrally located. Part of the St Annes Square complex which houses some great restaurants and of course The Mac. If you're attending a gig or a show at the Mac or The Black Box then this is probably your most convenient car park. At £1.40 an hour it is not the cheapest but also not the most expensive in the area. One thing to note about this car park is that it is open 24/7 as it's a residents car park. They also only charge £.50 as an evening rate and that lets you park from 6pm - midnight.
No secure. No safe for your car. I parked my car on Saturday from 1pm to 7pm and somebody wrote…read morekinda big M with theirs keys on my car's hood. I complained about it and they only have cameras at the first floor. They only said 'you park at your own risk'. Avoid this place.
Donegall Quay Car Park

Where to start really? It's a car park. You park your car here... then when you're done doing what…read moreyou were doing you return to your car and drive away. Ok I'm being irritatingly cynical and pedantic but describing the ins and outs of a car park is a bit like trying to write a thesis on polishing your coffee table - you're going to run out of things to say. After that little preamble I will say that this is a long running underground car park which has served my folks well when they've been parking in the city. Although not cheap it's considerably cheaper than the nearby Victoria Square park where only those wearing Breitling watches with their accompanying Bentleys can afford to stay.
Ideal place to park if your looking for cheap parking and looking to get back onto the roads again…read moreto avoid the worst of the traffic at busy times. Its right above the bus station and five minutes walk from victoria square. Its usually not as busy as the other car parks in the city centre and it's worth remembering when there's big events on as getting a space elsewhere is hard.

This is totally outrageous and if Belfast is trying to coax more people back into the city centre this is one sure way of turning people away - we certainly will not be visiting again.

Car parking is at an absolute premium in…read moreBelfast so when I find a good centrally located car park that is cheap to boot I get excited about it! The Hi Park might not be too well known in Belfast but it is on the site of the old Inn Shops opposite the entrance of Waring Street. I parked here whilst setting up my event at Alley Cat and that gives an idea of just how central this car park is. The tariff is pretty cheap too, it cost me £7 to park from 5pm - 10:30pm (The car park closes at 11pm on weeknights and is well manned by security guards.) On entrance you're given a wee card and have to feed this card in to the machines on your return. Luckily these machines accept credit card and coins so you won't be left stranded.
Queens Road Car Park

Here's a really useful review for anyone visiting the Titanic Quarter. Parking is at a premium but…read morethis newly opened wee pay and display car park beside Cast and Crew restaurant may save you a few quid and leave you right next to where you want to be. The car park is, as mentioned, pay and display but there's also a function to pay by text or on an app you can download. Price wise it's £1.50 for up to an hour and then a £1 an hour thereafter. The good thing is it's a 24 hour car park. Word of warning though, don't think that just because it's late night or early morning you won't have to pay - The Belfast harbour police will enforce car parking 24/7. This car park is a one minute walk from Titanic Belfast, a stones throw from H&W and a short 5 minute stroll from the SSE Arena. It's a wee bit of a hidden one too so if you're going to a popular gig give the SSE Arena car park a miss and go up to this one. Not only will you save a few quid but you'll also be able to get out of it a bit quicker.
Montgomery Street Car Park
In terms of car parks this is about as central as you get in Belfast (apart from Victoria Square's…read morecar Park). With nearly 500 spaces it's likely that there will be a space with your name on it. With Christmas chaos on the horizon I would recommend that you park here especially if you've planned to do your shopping on a weekend. It's only £5.20 all day Saturday and Sunday and they accept credit cards - so don't worry about not having the right change. On a Sunday it opens at 10am - don't do what I did and turn up too early and have to wait for it to open.

It is pretty convenient, as the exit can lead you on to either Chichester Street or May Street. The opening times are good too, opening pretty late on week days, if you are working late or on a night out. It is around £2.70 an hour so I would admit it is not very cheap, but I suppose you are paying the price for convenience and security.

I could understand if a copy had to be kept on record but the member of staff just looks at it and hands it back. People are having to search around the area to see if someone can print it out for them. How inconvenient for a parent of young children or someone with a disability or the person who just popped out in their lunch break. Also in this age of everyone being encouraged to NOT PRINT it is not a great example from what used to be - one of our great icons- ROYAL MAIL.

North Street is just around the corner from most the major city centre shops - just at the top of Royal Avenue (the soon to be heavily pedestrianised main stretch of shopping area in the city - although I'm still yet to see serious progress) Prices are typical of the area - about £3 an hour and slightly less there after.
Eastside Park & Ride Car Park
Operated by Translink this Park and Ride car park serves both the city centre and East Belfast…read more There are around 250 spaces available and it couldn't be any more convenient if it tried! One thing to note is this car park is charged so if you are making a journey make sure you have money to pay for parking. This is not a free service. Here's a wee insider tip, this car park only charges Monday to Saturday between 7:30am and 6:30pm so it's free in the evenings - If you're going for a meal in the City this would be an ideal place to park - it's in walking distance across Albert Bridge from most Belfast eateries. Also you might consider this car park if you're attending anything at the SSE, it'll be less crammed than the SSE Car Park and won't charge for evening events - don't say I'm not good to you!
Castle Street Car Park
As sad as this sounds, I'm going to review a car park. Yep, another car park. I think think this is…read moremy 5th car park review - so I can definitely be considered an expert. As mentioned in previous reviews parking in Belfast is at a premium but don't worry there's plenty of multi story lots about that are more than willing to sap your cash. This City Parks at the back of Castlecourt shopping centre is pretty centrally located. Walking distance to the City Centre, close to Great Victoria Street and also right next to the Ibis Hotel. There's two features about this car park that set it apart from other in the city. The first one is that it's secure - all the pedestrian doors are located and access to the building can only be gained by swiping your parking ticket. Awful if you've lost your ticket but great if you get tetchy about the safety of your car. Secondly the spaces are larger than most other car parks - you don't have to be a contortionist to squeeze out of your car here! Now to the negative side - it's not cheap! 2 hours parking cost us £6 on Wednesday evening which I feel is extortionate. Once I actually got my car locked in here as an event ran later than schedule and I was stung over £25! So it's up to you, if you want to pay for security and larger spaces park here - if you're not bothered go across the road to Castlecourt car park where it's all day parking for £4.30. The choice is yours...

Church Road Car Park may solve all your parking quandaries. Set just off Holywood High Street this car park boasts 82 spaces as well as 2 disabled spaces. This is a pay and display car park although you can park here for 5 hours for £1! Yep, you read that correctly. £1 for 5 hours! This is an absolute steal considering how close it is to local coffee shops and businesses. Also if you don't have any change you can call the automated parking line and pay with card over the phone - all you have to do is quote the car park reference which is plastered all over the place. It's a reasonably secure car park - it is accessible to the public but you're unlikely to have many issues in leafy Holywood. One other point to note is it is free parking after 6pm so this is the place to park if you're having an evening meal in Holywood.

It's a pay and display car park although it must be noted if you're nipping in to town for less than an hour this car park will charge you £1 regardless. To be honest there's a free car park around 100 meters away at Bangor Marina which is much less busy than The Vennel. The spaces are really tight too and keep your eyes peeled for small kids who have escaped their parents grasp!

I went upstairs to Lavazza and had a coffee after and this was much better. Lavazza has a really strong unique roast which always hits the spot when running low on energy.

However they are attached to quite a large convenience store which carries a good range of items, (there is some parking available if you are just buying from the shop rather than getting petrol).

It's always a busy place.
Beersbridge Road Filling Station? Huh? I just called it "that there Topaz petrol station on the…read moreBeersbridge Road" which is really much more of an effort, but hey. Topaz would probably suffice, seeing as it's the only one I know of out this side of Belfast, and is therefore already slightly unique when it comes to the world of petrol stations... I once paid a visit to Topaz (as it will henceforth be known), not for petrol, but because I had to do an errand for my boss. When she initially told me to go up to the Beersbridge Road Post Office, I was ever so slightly confused. "Where's that?", asked I, thinking I'd never come across it before. "Aww, sure it's up in the petrol station!", came the reply, to which I swiftly retorted, "Behind it? Or do you mean actually in the petrol station?!" Well, the latter it was. How strange. A petrol station-cum-post-office. Hadn't come across one of them before. The staff were darn lovely too, but unfortunately I had to go elsewhere to do my errand, as it turned out they didn't do what I needed them to. Oopsies. Very handy little place though...
Beersbridge Road Filling Station is an entirely functional place with two main purposes, first, to…read moreget fuel - it's my usual fill up stop heading out of Belfast as there's not much else convenient before Ballymena. Then there's the post office inside which I often use. It covers most needs apart from renewing car tax discs. The most noteworthy occurrence was that the lady behind the counter gave me a hand to stick on stamps when I was in the midst of a monster mail out. That's full marks to the staff, who are consistently helpful. The Bank of Ireland cashpoint inside is another handy thing which has appeared since the branch closed down on the Newtownards Road. Altogether, it's a reliable and useful filling station though it doesn't yet have the embellishments that others have such as hot drinks and food.

This shop sells everything you could need including much local produce such as potatos and farm foods from the local area - I've bought many a packet of prepacked turnips in here! I like this shop as it is right next to a cash machine that doesn't charge you to get your own money and it is right next to a quality off licence. There are two draw backs about this Mace, one is that it is smallish and has very poor parking outside - maybe room for ten cars in total? Also it is right next to a play park so it is always busy! Still, it is well stocked if you need dinner but don't want to go to a bigger store and it is the only petrol pumps for a good bit if you need a top up as you come through Comber!
Like Nick, I would concur that this is a pretty standard Tesco filling station, but I would…read moredisagree on a couple of points, firstly, I've called in here a few times and the airline and water dispenser has been broken, secondly, it has the worst exit of any filling station anywhere, straight onto a busy roundabout where the preceding exit is nearly parallel to yours, it'd be very easy to be collected by another vehicle here. But it's just about the only petrol staion within a mile or so now, so worth paying a visit.
