Exeter Car Parks & Parking

There are a number of short-stay and long-stay car parks in Exeter city centre, providing parking for visitors, shoppers and people working in the city.

Parking is available through a mixture of council-operated and private car parks in and around Exeter city centre, with several options providing convenient access to the city's shops, attractions and businesses.

The Guildhall and Princesshay areas both have nearby parking facilities, while other city-centre car parks provide options for visitors looking for short-stay or longer-stay parking.

If you're planning to stay in Exeter for several hours or for the whole day, a designated car park can be a more practical option than relying on street parking.

Parking charges, restrictions and opening arrangements can vary between car parks, so it's advisable to check the latest information for your chosen car park before travelling.

Exeter Park & Ride provides an alternative way to travel into the city without taking your car into the centre.

Park & Ride sites are located on the outskirts of Exeter, allowing visitors, shoppers and commuters to leave their cars outside the city centre and continue their journey by bus.

The three main Park & Ride sites serving Exeter city centre are:

•   Sowton – located near Junction 30 of the M5
•   Honiton Road – located just off the M5 at Junction 29
•   Matford – located off the A379

Park & Ride can be particularly useful if you're visiting Exeter for the day or would prefer to avoid city-centre traffic and parking.
