Belfast sits in Northern Ireland and covers the BT postcode area. Give the full postcode at both ends when you book — it is what sets the route, the mileage and the access notes the crew reads before setting off.
Mid-week and mid-month dates have the widest choice of slots. Whatever date you pick, an early start gives the crew the best chance of a legal parking position before Belfast streets fill for the day.
