Tourist parking permits & car parks

To save you the hassle of worrying about parking during your stay you can now purchase a tourist parking permit which will cover the majority of the on and off street parking areas which are managed by Isle of Wight Council. The tourist permit is not valid in a few of the car parks across the Isle of Wight. Please visit the Isle of Wight Council website for a list of these car parks. 

Depending on how long you are planning on visiting for you can buy parking permits that become valid on the day of purchase so it is recommended you buy on arrival to the Island. You can find out more information by visiting the Isle of Wight Council website.
