    Charged car parks in Belfast

    Car park charges

    When using our charged carparks, we encourage you to download the JustPark app and use the cashless parking system. This allows payment for parking with a credit or debit card, rather than cash. To use the service, visit the JustPark website (link opens in new window) or call 028 9124 8440.

    On-street car parking

    You can find information about on-street car parking (link opens in new window) on the nidirect website.

    Pay-by-Plate Parking

    We are moving to a new system of payment at some of our charged car park sites by August 2023.

    If users wish to use cash payments, they will need to input their vehicle registration number into the system. The machine will issue a ticket with users vehicle registration number printed on it which will still need to be displayed.

    JustPark app users will experience no difference as it is a separate method of payment.

    There will be a contactless method of payment and this will be activated later in autumn.
