Maximum four hour stay car parks Car Parks
5, 6 & 7 (Car Park 7 for disabled parking) are
restricted to four hours parking for £1.80. This results in a fast turnover in spaces. Parking fees apply 24 hours;
however the four hour restriction is removed between 6pm and 8.30am. The main car parking reserved for patients and visitors is located in car parks 5, 6, East Block and A & E.
If it looks as if you will be over
time due to clinic or ward delays, ask clinic or ward staff for excess time slip – they have
them all ready printed – and just go to Vinci Office on way out.
Ninewells Courtesy Bus A Courtesy Bus circulates from Car Park 9 to the hospital entrance every 10 to 15 minutes. The
bus has a tail lift, air conditioning and operates between 9am and 5pm. If you receive
a penalty sticker in a short stay area, due to clinic
or ward delays etc and receive a penalty sticker there is a blue card enclosed with the ticket, which tells you what to do
to appeal against the penalty.
