The most eye-watering short stay car park charges to avoid this Easter – will it affect your holiday plans?
With the Easter holiday break approaching, many families will be looking to get out and about exploring the tourist traps around the country.
Getting to your destination can sometimes be hard enough, but then of course there’s the pain of finding somewhere to park, and not being charged a small fortune for the privilege.
With the current cost of living crisis, the need to avoid the eye-watering charges in short-stay car parks, particularly in some of the UK’s most popular cities, has never been more important.
Short stay train station car parks in two of the UK’s most popular city break locations - Leeds and Liverpool - underline the need to plan ahead and resist the temptation to simply grab any city centre spot.
Liverpool received more than 42.19m tourists in 2021, while Leeds is now becoming ever more attractive to visitors, too.
