Total Car Parks

Notices up today that this car park is closing on 30/06/2023 for redevelopment. A big shame as this car park has been great over the years accessibility and affordability wise.

Cheap quite big carpark good to leave tour car and roam city long as you wish

DO NOT USE THIS CAR PARK THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!! Used this car park to attend my daughters choir concert at the AO arena, followed the instructions to receive an automated phone call and enter my card details...received confirmation my payment had been accepted and parking was paid for. A week later receive a £100 parking fine!!! Obviously will not be paying a fine for parking I paid for but should not have to go through the process of appealing when I've done absolutely nothing wrong. Will be reporting the company and this I'd essentially fraud and deception!!!

Avoid this and any car park managed by Total Car Parks and/or using the Parkonomy App for payment. You will get a £100 Parking Charge Notice within a week.

DO NOT PARK HERE. They will do anything to charge you a fine. We paid and the app prepopulated a reg after we entered ours. Ended up contesting the ticket with proof of payment and still forced to pay a 20 fee for some rubbish admin reason. Only paid because can’t be doing with the bother but thought I’d warn others. Terrible app to pay with makes fines very likely

Smaller car park than it used to be, entrance is off Francis Street, behind the Travelodge. Contactless payment via app no machine to make payment on site. Not too expensive compared to others around. Short walk into the city centre.

Used to be where I'd park when I went to Manchester but it's terrible now. The only way to pay now is through text (but that just triggers an automated callback so you can pay, possibly with an SMS charge thrown in too) or what is possibly the worst app I've ever used. Despite having ANPR, the car park doesn't use it to make the customer's life easy in any way, because they don't tell you when you entered (so how much you owe). But the signs don't tell you to make a note of when you entered either.

Safe to say using the app to be charged for the wrong period was extremely frustrating. They say don't drive angry, but they've never parked here.

If the choice was between parking here ever again or setting fire to my car and rolling it into a ravine, I know which I'd choose. And I like my car.

I'm sure on a normal day this car park is great but don't use for Young Voices. Even though this is advertised as event parking it's is not geared up for managing it. We took over an hour to get out. No assistance to help with traffic. Use official parking for events otherwise you will be late picking up the kids.
