ITB Parking Permit FAQ’s
Q. How do I get a permit?
A. Permits can only be purchased online and this will be mailed to your postal address. You
should receive your permit within 10 working days of payment.
Q. I’m starting at ITB this September. Will I need a permit to park?
A. For the month of September you will not need a Permit to park in a designated parking
space. Please note though that cars parked anywhere other than a designated parking space
will be clamped. Note also that payment is required to park in Pay & Display spaces (yellow €).
Q. Will we be guaranteed parking if we pay for the year?
A. No. A permit does not guarantee a parking space.
Q. If I have my permit, and show up but there are no “permit” spaces, can I then use a
P&D spot?
A. Yes. Provided you pay the appropriate P&D fee.
Q. Do the Pay & Display machines accept Credit Cards?
A. No. There are 2 P&D machines - one in the main carpark and one at the LINC. The
machines accept coins only. €1 per hour or €5 per day.
Q. If I park on the entry road , grass etc with a valid permit, will I be clamped?
A. Yes. The only parking allowed on Campus is a designated parking space.
Q. If I was clamped mistakenly, while I had a permit displayed, would I still have to pay
the removal fee?
A. You would need to take this up with Apcoa – check the signs for telephone number.
Q. My friend and I carshare and take it in turns to drive to ITB. Can we purchase one
permit and share it?
A. Yes. Permits aren't specific to a vehicle so as long as the vehicle parked at ITB (in a
designated parking space) is displaying a valid permit, that's OK. You'll need to
remember to swap over the permit each time you change vehicles.
Q. Will part time students need a parking permit ?
A. Parking permits are not required after 5.00pm weekdays or on Saturdays. Check
signage for details.
Q. What happens if I lose my permit?
A. Replacement permits can be purchased from Apcoa at €20 each. The original permit
will then be cancelled.
Q. Will motorcycles need to display parking permits?
A. There are no plans for motorcycle permits currently. However, if a motorcycle is occupying a
vehicle parking space, a permit will be required.
Q. Are permits required for disabled spaces?
A. No. Permits are not required for disabled spaces where the vehicle is displaying a
current, valid disabled card.

Q. I purchased a permit last in September last year. How do I get a renewal?
A. Your existing permit is valid until 31st October. Details on how to renew your Permit will be
issued shortly.
Q. Why are you changing the expiry date for new and renewal permits?
A. We’re trying to have everyone’s permit expire on the same date. That way we’ll be able to
remind everyone to renew. Although most people’s currently expire on 31st October there’s still
quite a few that expire on other dates and there’s no way of reminding these people that their
permit is about to expire. We want to avoid situations where people get clamped because they
forgot to renew.
The reason for 30th September rather than any other month is that each year we’ll have new
incoming students and they’ll require a permit from 1st October on the year they start (if they
drive).
