Parking in Birmingham

Second city — competitive car park prices

Birmingham has a large and competitive city-centre car park market, with dozens of NCP, Q-Park, and council sites. The city also operates a Clean Air Zone (CAZ) for the city centre — non-compliant vehicles face a daily charge in addition to any parking cost. On-street parking is largely restricted within the inner ring road.

Parking tips for Birmingham

Check Clean Air Zone compliance first

Before driving into central Birmingham, check your vehicle's compliance at the government CAZ checker. Non-compliance adds £8 to your trip cost regardless of parking.

Digbeth / Custard Factory

The Digbeth creative district has pay & display car parks near the Custard Factory and Digbeth Coach Station at much lower rates than the city centre.
