Plymouth port.

Have any of you lovely people done an overnight stay at the port in readiness for the Wednesday crossing to Santander? Had a look at the info and says ok to park in the lanes overnight (24 hrs) for £12.00. We did the Poole crossing a couple of months back and that was a first too. Poole had facilities (inc showers) that were open all night and a cafe that opened 6ish in the morning to collect the £15.00. Any pointers guys? (and I dont mean dogs)

Sorry no one has replied, but, I’ve not been there for about 8 years and even back then there was no problem parking, in fact, if you parked just outside where the trucks park it was free and probably still is, so if I were you I’d go and take my chances which I would confidently do especially as they now advertise it’s ok to park.There wasn’t a cafe though.

As above would also agree with parking by the trucks

We have used it often but never paid anything (paying to Queue wat ever next) be difficult to have 24 hrs as some time 3 sailings in that time. But the price could be for their carpark

Cheers Trev. Just before I posted, I re-read the post and added the brackets because I thought straightaway, "Trev will make a comment about dogs." Your in my head.

Eek! £13 to wait in a queue? Might be better to stop over in one of the City's park-and-ride car parks that allow overnighting (Home Park and Coypool; the latter for vans that don't fit a standard car bay) -- https://www.plymouth.gov.uk/park-and-ride -- Home Park (aka Milehouse) is about 5 minutes drive from the Millbay ferry terminal; Coypool is about 20 minutes.
