Parking FAQs

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate overnight occupation of vehicles within our car parks. You are not permitted to occupy vehicles overnight.

Overnight sleeping in lorries, buses, cars and caravans is also strictly prohibited.

If required, motorhomes can occupy two adjacent bays, but payment will be required for both bays and it is not possible for us to reserve bays for this purpose.

We would recommend owners of motorhomes who wish to stay overnight, contact caravan parks in the county.

Solo bays for motorcycles are available (free of charge) at the following car parks:

• John St, Carmarthen
• Friars Park, Carmarthen
• St Peters, Carmarthen

These car parks can be viewed on our interactive map.

You can also park a motorcycle in a car bay, but if you do, don't forget to pay for a ticket and display it clearly, or use the pay app service.

Motorcycles are not permitted to park in areas other than designated bays, particularly on hatched areas.

You must pay the amount relevant to the bay in which you are parked. You must not park in a short stay bay if you have purchased a long stay ticket. If the long stay bays are full, drivers may stay in short stay bays for a maximum of 4 hours or park in an alternate car park.

Please see the information sheet, which is displayed on all the noticeboards located in every car park and shows the different tariffs/bays.

The hours relevant to any tickets purchased on the daily tariff after 6pm will not come into effect until the daily charges recommence. A two-hour ticket purchased after 6pm would therefore allow two hours parking from the commencement of the daily charge at either 8am or 10am. 

Alternatively, you can download the MiPermit App and pay directly from your phone. 

If you make payment for parking prior to 6pm, which expires after 6pm, it will be deemed that you have paid for overnight parking.

No, you must display a valid ticket however, displayed with a blue badge you are entitled to an additional free hour. For example, if you purchased a 2-hour ticket, you will be entitled to 3 hours.

You must purchase a ticket for the additional 1 hour to be granted. If you only intend on parking for one hour, you will need to purchase a ticket. All information is clearly displayed on the noticeboard located at each car park.
