2. Cheap Car Parking in Rosyth
If you’re cruising for more than three or four nights, you can save money by parking in an alternative car park near Rosyth and taking a taxi to the cruise port.
Cruise passengers often prefer to park on supermarket car parks, shopping centre car parks, or even on private driveways that people rent out.
There are two websites that I use to find the cheapest cruise parking. These are JustPark.com and YourParkingSpace.co.uk.
It’s good to use both parking websites as they each list different parking spaces. Using these websites, I have found parking 3 miles away from Rosyth Cruise Port for as little as £2 per day.
For a 10-night cruise, you could save over £50 by booking a space in a secure car park three miles away (including the cost of a return taxi).
