Car park seasonal permits

What car park seasonal permits are, who can get them, how much they cost, before you apply, how to apply, and after you apply.

What car park seasonal permits are

Car park seasonal permits are for people who want to park regularly in a council car park. This could either be:

for general use
so you can park in the area where you work.

A car park seasonal permit gives you permission to park in a specific car park. It does not guarantee you a spot.

If you're looking to park in the area where you live, and you live in one of Paisley's controlled parking zones, find out about resident parking permits instead.

Who can get them

You can apply for a car park seasonal permit if you want to park in one of Paisley town centre's 18 charging council car parks.

How much they cost

1 month - £65
3 months - £195
6 months - £390
9 months - £585
12 months - £780

Before you apply

When you apply, you'll need to tell us your vehicle's:

registration number
make
model
colour.

You'll be able to tell us your top 3 car park preferences, in priority order, from a list on the application form.

How to apply

Apply online for a car park seasonal permit.

You can use this form if you want to park regularly in a council car park, either:

for general use
so you can park in the area where you work.

After you apply

Waiting for your permit

After you apply, we'll check the availability of your 3 car park preferences.

We'll aim to email you within 3 to 5 working days to tell you which car park your permit has been assigned to.

You'll then have 10 working days to pay for your permit. Once we have your payment, we'll post your permit to you.

Once you have your permit

Once you have your permit, display it in your windscreen.

You can only use your permit in the car park that's named on your permit. You cannot use it to park in any other area. If you do try to use your permit to park in another area, you may be issued a penalty charge notice. If you park anywhere other than your named car park, you must pay the parking charge for that location at the machine or by using the RingGo app.

We will not send you a reminder when your permit is about to expire. So, you'll need to remember when to renew it.

If your permit is lost or stolen, email us at parking@renfrewshire.gov.uk.
