Car parking costs at work out of control

[Notmorewashing]

Parking at work now costs us £3.10 per day. If we park in free public carpark it adds 45mins to journey time. Would you just pay up to save a bit more time on commute and kids dinner rush Hell??

Don’t suppose you can car share with anyone and split the cost?

Hmm. How much does it cost in terms of petrol to drive to work every day? I pay £8 per day for public transport so £3.10 seems cheap as chips to me, tbh.

How long is your commute already?

How is the car park run? Is it a private firm or through the work? Can you get passes as an employee? So much info needed.

I would probably pay. Do you work in a public place? Could you see if there is an option to pay for a years permit for a bit less?

I would probably pay £3.10 to save an extra 45 minutes, but I am quite lazy!
I take it there’s no scope for you to claim part of the money back as work expenses?

Private parking, no discount from work.
Daily petrol is about £7 ontop.
No one to car share with :(

That’s a bargain! Yes, of course I’d pay it. Mine works out about double that (and is the cheapest in the area - there was a waiting list).

My daily travelcard to work was £8. YABU to expect to be able to park your car for free.

See if you can contact the car park's owners. They may be willing to negotiate a season ticket, particularly if you can approach them as your company. That said £3.10 a day is cheap as chips! Is there no on street parking available?

I pay 4.50 per day, its shit but such is life. Can you get a season ticket to make it cheaper?

£3.10 a day is really cheap tbh

Are you a nurse, by any chance?

Seems expensive to me but it’ll depend on the area.
London I suppose it’s cheap.
I’m guessing there is no option to get a permit?

Dh pays over 8 quid a day so 3.20 seems quite reasonable

£3.10 is a bargain for most places and all day parking. We have to pay £8 for Plymouth city centre for a full day. We're hardly the most cosmopolitan area!

£3.10 per day doesn't really seem out of control to me.
Any way you can get public transport?

£7 petrol a day seems so high, how long is your commute? £10 lasts me about a week commuting to/from work

Could five of you lift share just from the public free dark to work. Then it would cost you £3.10 each per week. This assumes a five day week with you all working the same hours of course.

It's £7 a day to park at my work so £3.10 sounds like a good deal to me!

Check Liftshare & similar websites, maybe someone you can share with on there.

Wish mine was only £3.10 - I'd pay it for the convenience

I agree with the others £3.10 is cheap here too. £10 for anything close. £6/7 for a 15 min walk, at least 30 mins for anything free. I do the 15 min walk

£10.10 per day for travel is not exactly cheap as chips maybe if you are on a high salary!!

There is some residential nearer but you have to get there 645am for a look in
