Best car park in Glasgow city centre?
Discussion
Hi folks, I’m looking for some help on finding a suitable place to park my car in Glasgow city centre.
I'm driving down from Aberdeen tomorrow
morning for a work event and so I’ll need to park my car somewhere for around 5 hours. I’m sure some of you on here are the same as me when it comes to picking a car park - it’s not about the cheapest option, it’s about which has the best layout/design and will be the least likely to damage my car! I’m not keen on street parking, because I don’t fancy driving around on a Saturday trying to find an empty space, plus I’m not comfortable leaving the car somewhere where a constant stream of people will be passing by.
I drive a low Porsche Cayman with 20” wheels, so a car park with wide/gradual curved ramps is an absolute necessity. No tight ramps and sharp corners - and decent-sized spaces would be a nice bonus. Also, a car park that is generally clean and safe and with restricted access would be great too - have heard many horror stories of dodgy folks hanging around in multi-stories..
So, what are some car parks that suit my needs? It can be anywhere in the city centre as I don’t mind walking a bit to get to where I need to be. At the moment, I’m looking at the Cambridge Street car park, or even the Concert Square one. The NCP on Mitchell Street is definitely out as I’ve heard the access ramps are incredibly tight, same with the St Enoch centre.
It would be great to hear which car parks are recommended or even simply the ones that I should avoid, so that I can at least narrow down my options.
The struggle of daily driving your P&J.... This is why I need a shed

Also avoid:
Buchanan Galleries carpark - steep inclines that will scrape the nose/underside of a low car
Q Park Waterloo Street - a quite ridiculously tight spiral taking you up/down levels, an inch or two out and your wheels will be kerbed to f

The Q Park on Waterloo Street was on my list of options, so thanks for the heads up! Won’t go anywhere near that one!Buchanan Galleries carpark - steep inclines that will scrape the nose/underside of a low car
