Having a little trouble figuring out how to do this. Planning to drive to belfast from dublin. Can I purchase tickets to hoho bus and park my car there at TI while on tour? Would like to visit titanic also and can't check into motel until 3:00 in city center. Suggestions??

Parking in Belfast is an expensive hassle.
If your intention is to use the car just to get yourselves from Dublin to Belfast you'd be better served by taking the train or the bus to get there, then proceeding to your hotel to store your bags and striking out from there.
Even if you plan to keep the car for a more extended trip thru NI it may be cheaper in the long run, and more convenient, to rent the vehicle locally once you're finished with your time in Belfast.
You don't need to board the HoHo bus at the TI. You can do so from any of its stops. Can pull up a map of Belfast on Google to find the closest stop from your hotel.

Forget driving. Take the train or bus from Dublin. Nice and peaceful 2 hour ride.
Disembark and walk about Belfast. St George's Market, Belfast City Hall, Mourne's seafood by Kelly's Cellars Pub even the Titanic museum across the River Lagan are easy to get to by foot.
Take a Black Cab tour of the Troubles then have the driver let you off at the Crumlin Road Gaol and tour that.
Shouldn't have a problem asking the motel (?) to hold your bags. Where is the accommodation? Asking because the term motel isn't used in Eire. Hotels, Guest Houses, BnB's, Lodges......
