Parking on Monkbar Mews (Pre book)
Easy to book. Easy to find. Found it a bit strange we didn't speak to anyone when we arrived, didn't have a ticket for the window or anything. But would recommend

Parking at Sainsbury's, York, YO31
I booked weeks ago and paid £20.60 to park for 5 days. Incredible value compared to Council car park charges especially as Sainsbury is very close to the City centre. I checked with customer services that my vehicle was registered and it wasn’t. I COULD HAVE RECEIVED A PENALTY NOTICE WITH ALL THE GRIEF THAT IT CAUSES. I had to drive around for a while to find a spot once but I would book to park here without hesitation if the price was similar.

Parking at Sainsbury's, York, YO31
I use for work in the city centre, it’s about 8 mins right into the centre and there is always plenty of available spaces. A few days it’s been fully booked so book early if you know you are going to be at work.

Parking on North Street, YO1
Found quite easily but our space was already taken. As the booking gave other space numbers we parked in one of those and left a note in the car.
