Calling all Liverpudlians. Or people who know Liverpool
 
Quick question - Is there somewhere safe for me to leave my car at the Bootle dock?

Depends on how long you're going to leave it there for. When we stay in Liverpool our vehicles are parked in the NCP car park which is near the Radisson Hotel. Entrance is is in Pall Mall or via Old Hall street (where the Radisson is). It's covered by CCTV & is well lit. The radisson Hotel is 1min walk, you can easily get a taxi down to the docks.

£12 overnight parking, don't know how much 24hrs is.

There is also the multi story near Queens Dock, a bit further away and more expensive, but nice and secure. Bit harder to find somewhere to get a taxi from here though.

I'm not local, but I've been there a lot. Down Bootle way is a bit rough in my opinion and wouldn't leave my car there.

But the locals may know better than me

Then maybe the CP near the Radisson would be Ok. It's open, but as I say it's covered by CCTV.

Do the ferry company have a secure site?

No apparently not :(

See if any locals come up with a better solution. Liverpool isn't as bad as some people make out. We've never had any problems (touch wood) with vehicles being broken into or tampered with, but I couldn't say it'll never happen.

There are places where you wouldn't leave your car though, Bootle docks area is one! :rolleyes:

What about this one

Sorry mate, had to go to work and couldn't reply.

Hope you had a good time on the Island

I ended up a little late after going to the wrong port. So I quickly put the car in the Q Park.
It will probably cost me 3 arms and 4 or 5 legs to get the car back

Sorry Darren but I`ve only just seen this thread.... the car park you put the link to is at the back of where I work so I could`ve kept an eye on it for you. You could also have left your car at my house and I`d have dropped you off at the ferry terminal. Hope you have a great time anyway and if you go again pm me

I've got lost in Liverpool before and ended up going through the Birkenhead tunnel. But having been there quite a few times, I know my way round the city centre quite well.

Hope you don't have to pay too much, but I guess you will :rolleyes:

Well thank god for satnavs. It was google maps that made me go to the wrong ferry terminal. I'm guessing it has recently changed
