    Anyone know of any car park/place in Dublin City Centre (particularly around the Pearse St. Area) where I could park a car for say a week for a reasonable charge? (i.e not €30-40 per day). It won't be used or need to be moved during this time.

    One story I heard in the UK years ago was some guy that pawned his car at the local pawn shop, came back 2 weeks later and paid the loan and got his car back. Cost him next to nothing for free parking for 2 weeks while he was away on holidays knowing his car was secure. Sorry if this isn't any help....just thought it was an amusing story.

    just park in a multi story and when you get back say you lost your ticket and youll have to pay from time of opening that day.,

    That could backfire! :eek: During the night, when the carpark is quiet, a car which has been parked up for a week would be 'known' to the staff/security.

    You could approach a car park and ask if they would do special deal for the week.

    Jervis Street (not beside Pearse Street though) do a maximum €12 daily charge but I'm not sure if it covers overnights.

    I know you are looking at city centre options and €12 at Jervis isnt bad but you could look outside the city eg. Whitewater Shopping Centre in Newbridge is only €4 per day + 1 return train ticket (around 30-40mins journey) doesnt work out that bad

    Outside the city is one thing, outside the county is another.

    Ring one of the car park operators and negotiate a price. A lot of car parks won't reach capacity over the coming months.

    When I was working on parnell street the malboro street carpark was charging €50 for the week,Just went to the ticket office and bought a ticket that they printed off and you could use it as many times as you liked over the 7 days.Fantastic value if you ask me.

    They've recently renovated it and built a new section so things may have changed or prices gone up. Worth a check though!

    Cheers guys, thanks for the suggestions. That €50 for 7 days deal seems very good, they definitely still do it according to the web site, but there's no price listed, so it may have gone up, I'll have to check.

    they never even see your car when you go up and say you lost your ticket, id imagine loads of people loose them every day., I know someone that occasionally does it to store cars he hasnt got room for.,lol

    Some of the car parking firms do have the lads prowl around the structure at night, and considering the night staff are often the same for quite a while... it could get noticed. If its long-term enough to have dust on it it almost certainly will, that said I've seen dusty cars in the airport and the ILAC in the past few weeks.

    All the Q-Parks here have a 7x5 and a 24x7 rate.

    I recon Q-parks in Ireland are the same ?

    Here you have to go into the Local Q-Park and they'll be able to give you the different rates there.

    You just need another car and use that ticket.
