Car Parking

A toll charge of £1 will be payable on entry to the pier (cash only, coin operated machine) for cars, light vans and motorcycles.  No charge will be made for pedestrians or cyclists.  Parking Tickets must be purchased from the Pay & Display machines or the Ticket Office at Ryde Pier Head

The above includes the £1 pier toll charge that is payable upon entry of the pier.

Season Ticket Holders ONLY may buy 30 Day parking at the rates below - advance purchase only: 

Please see a member of staff regarding the purchase of the above 30 Day car park tickets and the issuing of your 'pier charge' card.

For the protection of the pier and its users a weight restriction of 3 tonnes applies as well as a height restriction of 2.25m.  A 10mph speed limit will also apply and will be strictly enforced by the use of average speed cameras.  Drivers exceeding this limit will be issued a fixed penalty notice of £80 and/or exclusion from Wightlink property and services.

Cyclists

Please be advised that the 10MPH speed restriction applies to all cyclists as well as vehicles, for health and safety reasons.
Following a recent incident all cyclists are reminded of the speed limit and that they MUST dismount their bicycles on the approach to and in the Terminal Buildings and also on the apporach to the entrance/exit to the esplanade.
Failure to observe the above restrictions and disregard for the safety of our customers will regrettably result in a ban from all Wightlink premises and vessels.

Costa Coffee

At our Ryde Terminal you will find our new Costa Coffee shop which serves a wide range of Costa delights including sandwiches and pastries.
