\u201cPermit prices outside of the city centre are likely to be less expensive. The more costly it is to park, the more likely people will choose a suitable public transport alternative.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edinburgh has the second highest permit charges with the average fees standing at \u00a3365.<\/p>\n
Moneybarn added: \u201cAlthough the average cost for a residential parking permit in Edinburgh is high, this council has variable prices based on the car\u2019s CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n
\u201cFurthermore, the central zones of the city will have a higher premium than the outer city zones.\u201d<\/p>\n
Existing residents with diesel vehicles will be exempt from paying the surcharge for three years as long as they retain their current vehicle.<\/p>\n
