Blue Badge drop-off at Aberdeen
Aberdeen gives Blue Badge holders a free window rather than waiving the £7 forecourt charge directly: Blue Badge holders should not use Express Drop Off; they get a 30-minute free drop-off/pick-up window in the Short Stay car park (enter the 13-digit Blue Badge number at the exit; not for commercial, hire or reward).
- Blue Badge outcome: Free window in a car park
- Standard forecourt charge: £7
- Free for everyone: Long Stay car park (60 min)
- Penalty if a charge goes unpaid: £50
