Lyme Regis has a park and ride service that operates throughout the main school summer holiday period. It operates from two sites on the A3052 just out of town: one is on the Charmouth Road (nearest post code DT7 3UE), to the east of Lyme Regis, and the other is on the Sidmouth Road (nearest post code DT7 3EU), to the west of Lyme Regis.
