Is parking free in the evening?

What is the height limit?
The majority of the undercover car parks have a maximum height of 2.2 metres. If your vehicle is taller, use the external car parks, which have a height from 2.4 metres. For parking at IKEA the maximum height is 2.5 metres.
What if I have a disability parking permit?
Customers with a Mobility Permit get free parking when they show a valid permit at the Concierge Desk, which is near the Food Court. If you do not want to use the Westfield app, free mobility parking can be validated at a Concierge desk. If your permit has expired, go to the Concierge desk to renew it for the parking discount. The page says the old PARK+ program has moved into the Westfield membership program.
