Free Parking

Free parking is becoming increasingly more difficult to find in any city and Waterford is no different. There is actually a surprising amount of free parking available in most suburbs but finding these bad boys is a different story. Ever find yourself driving down the street searching for a parking space and watching the clock knowing you are going to be late? Well we here at Parkpnp have the solution.

It is very rare that you will come across a spot and due to this you will have one of 2 options, one spend a long period of time searching for a parking space or two, empty your wallet to pay for parking.

It’s worth noting, on-street parking is free from 6.30pm to 8.30am Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday. From 9.30pm to 8.30am on Fridays and free all day Sundays.

On Street Parking

Waterford City and County Council operated Pay and Display Parking in Waterford City. When you are parking on streets in Waterford you must take note of parking signs. Pay and display tickets must be placed in the front window in the parked vehicle. There is sufficient machines provided on all streets in Waterford and it starts at €1.80 an hour. Please note around busy times on-street parking can fill up very early.

Employee Parking

Parking at or close to your work place is something that people working in the suburbs, industry facilities and schools take for granted, but it is extremely sought after by the work force in cities or larger towns.

Most companies only provided limited staff parking, however, they could be doing more. Spaces often lie idle because designated space holders are travelling with work, sick or on holidays. This results in up to 30% of spaces not being used at any given time.

ParkOffice is a market leading automation product which allows companies to allocate empty space in real-time to staff. To find out how ParkOffice can help you park more staff in the same amount of space, simply avail of the free 14 day trial.

Shared Economy

The fastest growing type of parking is being driven by the shared economy, this is not only factual for Ireland but it is happening globally. Finally, people are starting to realise the solution to the parking nightmare, that all the under- used and idle spaces outside their own homes and businesses could contribute to solving this issue.

  • I thought guides were to help people. Does not help at all, alot of writing for nothing. Waste of time reading. No wonder the parking is so bad in Waterford.

  • This was a waste of time, the headline reads ‘the ultimate guide to parking in Waterford’ yet all this post tells me is where to pay pay pay. The quay car parking is a disgusting disgraceful wasteland that needs an urgent facelift of shops restaurants and entertainment for the bewildered youth in Waterford. I came here to find out who owns all the car parking along the quays and elsewhere but this post seems to be written buy one of the owners themselves.
