| Q: | How much do the spaces cost per month? |
| A: | The rental cost per month depends on the location of the space itself and a variety of other factors such as how secure the environment is, the size of the space and its location for example. A representative from City Centre Parking will visit each space to make an estimate of its fair rental value and agree on a monthly rental value with the space owner. |
| Q: | How secure will my car be? |
| A: | This will depend on the location of the space itself as some buildings incorporate more security features than others. The listing details for advertised spaces will provide further information on this for you. For extra information on keeping your car secure and general safety tips please see the "Security Tips" link above. |
| Q: | What fees are payable? |
| A: |
If you have a space to rent:
It is free to advertise your space as available for rent with City Centre Parking. A percentage of the monthly rental payment received from the space user is retained by us with the balance being passed on to you. All payments are handled automatically by standing order to reduce hassle.
If you wish to rent a space: A security deposit is payable which is equal to five weeks rent however this will be returned to you provided any access equipment (remote control, swipe card etc) supplied is returned in good condition and working order at the end of the rental period and that the space has not been damaged in any way. No interest will be paid on the deposit held and can not be used in any way to pay for your rental charges. |
| Q: | What is the notice period? |
| A: | The notice period varies from space to space and further details are supplied on the listings page. In some situations, it may be be beneficial for both parties to have short notice periods (one week or more) to maintain flexibility in case circumstances change. If you are selling an apartment, a notice period of month for anyone renting a parking space would be ideal in case the apartment is sold. With new spaces becoming available all the time, the person renting the space needn't fear having nowhere to park their car. |
| Q: | My tenancy agreement says "no subletting" but I'm not using my parking space, what can I do? |
| A: | In many cases, it is possible to grant a license to use your car parking and not strictly violate the terms of your tenancy agreement. Normally, provided you get the landlord's permission, it is possible to rent out your space. However, it has been known for tenants to rent out their space without seeking the appropriate permissions or adhering to the terms of their tenancy agreement; while City Centre Parking can not condone this, the ultimate responsibility lies with the person named in the tenancy agreement to make the decision after weighing up the pros and cons. We are happy to discuss this openly with you and aim to give you an honest account of all factors involved. |
| Q: | If we take more than one space can we get a discount? |
| A: | The vast majority of parking spaces we manage are owned by different individuals and companies with whom we have agreed set levels of income. Our revenue is derived from a small percentage of this figure and leaves little room for discounting. You will find however, that our prices are very competitive when compared with other providers of contract parking in less secure, public-access car parks. |
| Q: | Is VAT payable on top of your prices? |
| A: | The price you see if the price you pay. VAT is currently not applicable on our parking space prices. |
| Q: | I've seen a space that I'm interested in but I don't need it just yet, can you hold the space for me? |
| A: | Yes, we can often hold spaces for up to three weeks provided you have signed the agreement forms and paid your deposit in advance. If you are relocating to a new area and can give advance notice we should be in a position to find you a parking space. The best thing to do is register your details with us using the link above; this will provide us with the information we need to help you. |
