Getting to Advanced Engineering...

Visitors will now have three options to pay for their parking, which will ensure their vehicle registration is recognised at exit for a frictionless departure.

1. Advanced booking: Visitors can book parking online in advance up until midnight the day before arrival, at a reduced rate (where NEC standard parking tariffs apply).

2. On-the-day in venue payment: Visitors who have not booked in advance should make a payment at the pay-on-foot machines in the venue by entering their vehicle registration number.

3. On-the-day online payment: Visitors can also pay online on-the-day once parked at the venue, through our new payment portal, by entering their vehicle registration number. Our Preferred Option We recommend visitors book in advance for the best parking experience and to take advantage of the £5 saving (on NEC standard tariffs). To support this, we would recommend that this is communicated to visitors prior to the event, through all your available channels.

Important Note: Vehicles attempting to exit the car parks without prior payment will incur a non-refundable, flat rate exit fee of £25, payable by card at the exit. This fee encourages pre-payment before leaving The NEC to ensure a smooth exit process.

Changes visitors need to be aware of:

• Overnight parking tariffs and overstay fees: We are introducing an overnight parking tariff (at £5 per night) and overstay fees (at £2 per hour) for those who stay onsite beyond their booking times. Advance and on-the-day parking is valid from 06:00 – 02:00. Overstay charges will apply for single day bookings exceeding those standard parking hours, unless overnight parking has been booked as part of a ‘multi-day booking’.

• Multi-day parking option: If multiple single days are booked, the vehicle will need to leave each day. If it does not, overstay charges will apply. Overnight parking can be selected when pre-booking, if required.
