Entering The Car Boot

Entering the car boot costs £1 per person, and it's free for children under 16 years old. Before you get in, we highly recommend that you get some cash at a nearby ATM. Sellers are always eager to get some cash for their items, and you'll be in a better position to bargain - see our car boot sale tips to make the most out of your trip.

If you forget to get some cash, though, you can head to the car boot entry where a member of the staff will be able to do some cash back for you. This comes with a tiny fee (usually 75 cents) but this can literally save your thrifting day.

Pro tip: Bootyfull Car Boot has a loyalty card! Each time you visit, be sure to ask for a stamp. For every 6 visits, you'll get a free entry, and for every 12 visits you'll get a free entry and a tea (or coffee)!
