Car park permit

Find out how to apply for a weekly, monthly or annual permit for car parks in Torbay.

Please be aware that Harbour car park, Torquay, is now partially open following a recent closure.

There are currently 80 spaces available from the usual capacity of 143. The reduced capacity will remain in place while we carry out essential repairs to the closed areas of the car park.

  • Parking for Premier Inn customers remains unaffected by the repair works.
  • You'll need to use the Museum Road entrance whilst the restricted parking remains in place.
  • During busy periods, you can find alternative parking at Meadfoot Road and Beacon Quay car parks. Fleet Walk pay on exit car park and the Torquay Marina car park are also available.
  • Permits for Harbour car park can be used at Meadfoot Road and Beacon Quay car parks.

We appreciate your patience whilst the essential repairs are carried out. Further updates will be provided as new information becomes available.

Please be aware that parking permits are non-refundable.

For regular car park users we offer a variety of parking permits allowing you to use over 30 car parks across Torbay.

For example, did you know our annual off-peak parking permit works out at just £1.44 a week? This means if you park for more than an hour a week, the permit has paid for itself.

Our standard annual permit works out at £8.75 a week, which is less than the cost of paying for one full day ticket in Zone 1.

For someone using our car parks on a regular basis, there are great savings to be made.

Short stay time limits apply in Brixham Central, Great Western Road and Shoppers car parks.

Four day, eight day and monthly car park tickets can be bought at the card payment machines in the following car parks: Hampton Avenue, Town Hall, Shedden Hill, Beacon Quay, Victoria (levels 1 and 3), Clennon Valley, Broadsands, Brixham Central and Freshwater. These tickets must be clearly displayed when parking, with all details visible.
