Parking at the NEC

We operate an ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) car park for visitors.

For the smoothest experience and the best rates, we recommend pre-booking your parking in advance to save £5 on the standard parking rate.

However, if you don’t manage to pre-book ahead of time, you can still pay for your parking before you leave - please see the signage advertised in the venue for instructions.
