Save costs on car parking
You can also purchase a monthly pass for the West Bell St multi-storey car park (which is two minutes walking distance from the UAD campus). The pass costs £55 per month, which works out really economical – around £2.50 a day.
You can save money again if you car share with a few people. It’s really simple to do – you make a single purchase before the first of each month. Anyone who wants to order a season ticket or find out more information can do so by emailing estates@abertay.ac.uk
