Park and Ride discounts

Fifth Park and Ride journey in a month free

If you have a parking account for our ANPR car parks and use Park and Ride five times in any calendar month, you'll get your fifth journey free.

You don't need to do anything to get the discount - just use Park and Ride regularly and you won't be charged for every fifth journey in a month.

Park and Ride residents rate

If you're a resident of Canterbury, Herne Bay, Whitstable or the rural villages and you have a parking account, you can sign up for a residents rate permit in certain car parks, including Park and Ride.

The residents rate means you get 20% off Park and Ride, so you pay £3.20 a day instead of £4. 

You can't get both the residents rate and the fifth journey free.

Park and Ride permits

For non resident rate permit holders, it will be £600 per year (£50 a month)

For resident rate permit holders, it will be £480 per year (£40 a month).
