I'm getting a very early train on saturday from Queen St so need to drive in to catch it - any recommendations where to park the car till sunday morning without having to pay a small fortune?

What about using the Shields Road Subway Park & Ride?

How early is early? For a Sat into Sunday you might be cheapest sticking it on a P&D meter somewhere either in Townhead or near the Passport Office, they should stop charging at 6pm, possibly earlier on a Saturday. The council multi-storeys are probably going to be £30/day but bizarrely NCP might actually be cheaper - Montrose St is showing as £17.10 for 24 hours and the Ingram St P&D is £8.50. Can't find the station car park costs online.

You might want to try the Buchanan Galleries car park?

Are you fussed about walking 10-20 mins to get to the train station? Buchanan Galleries parking is £1.50 an hour off the top of my head. St Enoch is the same. Actually think most places in the city centre are around £1.50 an hour. Only way to get any cheaper is parking somewhere down nearer the Clyde really.

Or you could park at the park and ride on Shields Road and get the subway in. All day parking is £5 and a ticket is £2.60 return.

Depends how long your parking for though.
