Christchurch City has it’s fair share of parking options, all thanks to the 2011 Earthquake that levelled the city. You’ll find a Wilsons, council or various other smart car park on every block. There are however a few free park locations within a 5 minute walk of Urbanz’s Manchester St location.

Wilson Parking offers over 30 car parks within the central city with a handy app to manage your payment and Christchurch City Council has 5 multi-level parking buildings within the city.

For guests of Urbanz hostel:  We offer a paid parking option. This is right next to our hostel, discounted for Urbanz guests. Priced at $12 for 24 hours. This car park option is not available to book in advance and has limited availability. Our team can provide you with a ticket from Reception during Check-in.

There are three 10-minute drop-off parking  bays located directly
outside of the hostel, on Manchester St.

For free parking locations within a walkable distance of our hostel, please refer to the locations in our interactive map.
