According to research by Parkopedia.com found the price of parking was our biggest concern, with 80% of motorists on the website asking for details on this.

The second most popular piece of information requested by 70% of site users was the exact location of parking, with users wanting the postcode to put into sat-nav devices.

Beyond that, users wanted to know about height restrictions, opening hours and security.
