Reaching Exeter by car is really quite simple, with the M5 from Birmingham via Bristol passing right by the city. Parking on-street in the city centre can be quite challenging due to the historic layout of the streets – but fortunately there are plenty of off-street car parks throughout Exeter.
There are a few free parking spaces in Exeter, but most are park and ride options. You may be required to park for a certain period, mostly not exceeding 2 hours. Most of these spaces are limited to customers or individuals accessing a specific facility.

How long can you stay in a car park without paying?
Wondering how you can avoid a pesky parking fine? You might not know, but if you overstay by just a few minutes in a council-run car park in England, you shouldn’t get a parking ticket. That’s because a grace period exists which gives drivers a 10-minute window to get back to their car after their ticket’s expired.
Can you ignore private parking tickets?
Whether you have to pay a private parking fine will depend on who it was issued by. If the fine was issued by the police or council workers, known as a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), you can’t ignore it. This is because they’re backed by the law and if you ignore this for too long, you could get summoned to court.
