10 Day Parking in Glasgow Preferably with Access?
Discussion
Ahoy,
Had a search on the forum and a google but cant really find any information so hoping someone here can help.
I am due to pick up my new car from Glasgow the middle of next week and I will be staying in the city for about 10 days. I am not staying at a hotel nor does the flat I'm staying at have parking.
Does anyone know anywhere secure and reasonably priced, preferably in the city centre, where I could leave my car for around 10 days, Being able to come and go would be preferable? All the multi stories seem outrageously priced unless I pick it up before 0800 and even then I have no where to put it.
I have heard a mention of a secure warehouse run by 'Big Al'...anyone have any information on this? Or any other ideas? I guess the last resort is leaving it at the airport but as stated I would rather have access.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I wouldn't want to leave that just lying about the place. Can you do one of those 'hire my garage' things in Glasgow? I do know there's a few people in and around Glasgow with decent off street parking who are on pistonheads but wouldn't presume to offer their space for them. I have a few lockups but none near Glasgow unfortunately, I only asked about the car as I thought it might have a bearing on where would be suitable to keep it.
Yeah neither do I! Yeah that is an option but not really sure where to look. I did have a little look but from what I can see most people are looking to rent them out long term and not for just a little over a week.
I suppose out at the airport is an option but that takes away access. Its not really mandatory to have access but it would be nice.

I used to use 'Big Als' warehouse next to the piping centre when I worked in town. Fairly convenient, cheap, and usually some nice cars in there - Id leave my car there before I would a multi storey. A friend used to leave his 911 Turbo there for days and weeks on end with no trouble.
Sounds good. You have any contact details for him? briang9 said:
Could be worth a shout but not a lot of information on the site. Have you used here before? yellowbentines said:

Sounds good. You have any contact details for him? No, he's old school, its the warehouse next to The Piping Centre on Dunblane Street. You show up, have a chat with him for 5 or 10 minutes about something no doubt strange (he runs a pest control business and keeps a hawk which is often seen sitting on the roof of the Piping Centre until it wants fed), pay him some cash and go on your way.

Im not sure if this is big Al or not but if you zoom in on the image you will find a mobile number.https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.8674682,-4.25565...
Real shame, that seemed like the perfect place
Airport is looking more and more likely. Im not keen on leaving my car in a suburb on the other end of the city.
Thanks everyone for your help! Managed to find parking pretty central in a multi storey for a fiver a day. Turns out if you phone them they will cut you a deal sometimes. Secure with 24hr access which is handy, now ive driven the M3 I cant stop!
Anyway guys thanks a lot for your help again, much appreciated.
