The new Premium Parking service launched on Wednesday, ahead of what is expected to be a busy first weekend as shoppers throng to the mall in the run-up to Christmas.
The newly resurfaced car park now has bigger spaces set to appeal to 'premium shoppers' with larger luxury vehicles. It will also offer a host of 'luxe' car valet services as well to suit those with larger luxury wallets.
If you're just parking your car there, you'll be shelling out from £4 an hour to park here on weekdays, and from £7 an hour on weekends.
However, the longer you stay the cheaper the hourly rate becomes - with a maximum stay of 12 hours costing £14 on weekdays and £21 on weekends.
But if you fancy the full 'Premium' experience you can also get your car cleaned as well while you park there. Although you're looking at (gulp) £96 for a 'luxe valet' clean, or a truly eye-watering £217 for the 'ultra valet' clean which gives you the full works. Oh, but that price does include your parking fee, you'll be pleased to hear.
Now, as I breezed into the new barriered section of the Upper Peel 5 car park at the Trafford Centre on Wednesday morning I could certainly see why this new service might persuade you to part with your cash.
Yes, I know we've all been used to parking for free at the Trafford Centre for the past 20-odd years across some 11,000 spaces.
