How to pay

Cameras read your number plate as you enter and the barrier raises automatically. When you are ready to leave, enter your registration at one of the three pay terminals and pay by card. Your charge is calculated automatically from the length of your stay. You will have a short grace period after paying to return to your car and drive out.

If your number plate cannot be read for any reason, you will be issued a ticket. Use this ticket to pay at the pay terminal before leaving.
