How much will it cost to park if I have a permit?

The amount you pay for parking will depend on the type of permit you hold, either a 'Student PAYG Permit'  - including Accessible permit type (for those living off campus or within the GU2 postcode who meet the eligibility criteria) or a 'Stag Hill & Manor Park Residents Permit' (for those living in university managed accommodation).

Student PAYG Permit (Including Accessible)

If you have this permit, you will be charged £2 per visit, capped at £7.50 per week (maximum £30 in any rolling 4-week period). Payments are made via Evology Autopay. You can choose to:

• Pre-Pay (top-up in advance),
• Auto Restore (automatically restore to a set balance),
• Auto Top-Up (add a fixed amount when low)
• Manual Top-Up (you add funds yourself — if your balance is too low, parking will be declined).
• Or, use Pay to Park (direct debit after each session, no top-up needed).

Tip: Pay to Park avoids needing to monitor your balance as this is linked to your debit or credit card.

Any failed payments will result in a Parking Charge Notice (PCN). If a payment fails, you will receive three consecutive email alerts to your university email and have five days to update your payment details. If not resolved, a fine will be issued.

Stag Hill & Manor Park Residents Permit

The Stag Hill & Manor Park Residents Permit costs £29 per month, and paid via Worldpay. You will receive a link via the permit system through which you can make payment.

You will receive a monthly renewal email. If you don’t renew, the permit becomes invalid, and you may receive a Parking Charge Notice (PCN).
