Pay and display (non-permit parking)

If you do not have a parking permit, or you have visitors who would like to park, you must use one of our Pay and Display car parks.

Changes to parking - September 2026

We are making several useful changes ahead of the next academic year, which will make parking easier to navigate for all drivers. This includes names of car parks and where permit holder and pay and display users can park.

Charges

Charges apply between 7am - 7pm, Monday to Sunday. Outside of these hours, parking is free. To avoid penalty charges, vehicles must enter after 7pm and exit before 7am. Our car parks are monitored by ANPR cameras.

  • Up to 1 hour: £1.20
  • Up to 2 hours: £2.40
  • Up to 4 hours: £4.80
  • More than 4 hours: £7.20
  • Weekends: first hour is free, then £2 per day

Payment is made using the RingGo or Evology apps, which are available on all app stores. We recommend downloading and setting up your account before you travel. All University of Surrey Pay and Display car parks use the code is 53650 on both RingGo and Evology.

Please note that for RingGo users, a convenience charge may apply. This adds a further 20p plus another 30p to the prices below which is dependent on whether you add SMS messaging updates to your parking booking. This potentially increases the daily charge by up to 50p. If you opt out of the SMS messaging, you will still incur the 20p convenience charge.
