Weekends: £2 (Saturday or Sunday up to 8am the next day).

Daytimes: (8am - 5pm): Up to 2 hours £3 / Up to 3 hours £4 / Up to 4 hours £5 / All day £8.

Book your parking in advance 

To save you needing to pay for parking on the day of your visit, you can pre-book your parking in advance. 

Simply select which parking option you need from the weekday, weekend or evening options. Then select the date you will park and for how long you will need the parking for. 

After you’ve filled in your personal details and your registration number, the charge will then be calculated and you can pay online in advance of your visit to us. 

You can book your parking up to 12 months in advance. Book your car parking in advance.

Pay using our cashless machine

We have a payment machine within the Arts Centre which you can use to pay for parking by contactless or chip and pin payment. Simply visit the machine, enter your vehicle registration and choose the tariff for your duration of stay. 

Pay using the APCOA Connect app 

You can also pay for your parking via an app called APCOA Connect.  We recommend downloading the app in advance of your visit. After downloading the app, you need to register for an account.

Once you’ve got an account on the app and you’ve parked at the University of Warwick, simply select the location code 2503 and choose the tariff for your duration of stay. You can park in any car park labelled as “P” or “E” on the University's parking map. 

You can download the APCOA Connect app on Google Play and Apple IOS.

Optional Auto Pay Setting

After you’ve registered for an APCOA connect account, you can also choose to apply Auto Pay. This means you will not need to enter the location code each time you visit us. 

The APCOA connect system will pick up your vehicle registration number, and charge you based on how long you’ve stayed for. 

If you’re a frequent visitor to us, we recommend you setting up the Auto Pay option. This is so you don’t have to remember or plan to pay for your parking each time you visit us, your parking will be automatically charged based on how long you stay. 

Please note that this is an optional setting. You can still use the app to pay for parking without setting up auto pay. 

However, if you would like to automate your parking payments, simply select the Auto Pay option at the top of the APCOA Connect webpage.

Pay via APCOA’s website (Including Late Pay)

You can pay for your parking using the APCOA connect website itself, instead of its app. You can pay either on arrival or up to 24 hours after the start of your parking session, (this is known as Late Pay). 

You can decide on whether you wish to create an account for a quicker check out on your next visit, or to continue your parking payment without registering for an account.
