Getting to campus should be the easy part of your day, which is why there are designated parking areas for all students across Coventry campuses.
On-campus parking for students
The parking facilities are strategically located to make sure every student has easy access to academic buildings, lecture halls and other campus amenities.
Bishop Gate
You can park opposite Bishop Gate to collect your keys and move your belongings - you will be issued with a free 30-minute parking permit. After your allocated 30-minutes, you will then be asked to move your car to the chosen pay-and-display options:
- Belgrade Plaza multi-storey, CV1 4AJ
- Skydome multi-storey, CV1 3AZ
- Bishop Street, CV1 1JN
- West Orchards multi-storey, CV1 1QX
- Leicester Row, CV1 4AL
Godiva Place
You can park on-site at Godiva Place - the same 30-minute rule applies to collect your keys and move your belongings, and then you'll be asked to move your car elsewhere:
- Lower Ford Street, CV1 5PS
- Cox Street, CV1 5GA
- Far Gosford Street, CV1 5JR
- Wellington Street, CV1 5JR
- Raglan Street Church, CV1 5QF
The Cycle Works
There is no on-site parking at The Cycle Works, but you can park nearby at a pay-and-display car park:
- Cox Street, CV1 5GA
- Lower Ford Street, CV1 5PS
- Raglan Street Church, CV1 5QF
You can park on Cox Street for 30 minutes only with a permit, but then you must move to the pay-and-display option.
*30-minute permits must be collected from the reception areas
Parking costs on campus
Student parking is affordable and flexible, choose between:
- £3 per day in all university car parks
- £2 for up to 4 hours (no return on the same day)
Payment is made through the RingGo app, so make sure you have it downloaded before you arrive.
So whether you're on campus for a full day of study or just dropping in for a morning seminar, you can pick the option that suits you.
Accessible parking on campus
Coventry University provides designated parking spaces for individuals with disabilities, located close to campus buildings and equipped with features to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges.
Parking at student accommodation
All accommodations have limited disabled parking bays which are on a first come, first serve basis. All cars parked here must display a blue badge at all times on site.
Parking must be payed for through the RingGo app.
Visitors and overnight parking
Visitor parking is only available in the Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) and is free with the right permit, arranged by the staff host.
Overnight parking requires prior approval and is only permitted for business purposes.
Sustainable alternatives
- Park & Ride: Memorial Park service costs £2.50 return, with cheaper weekly/monthly passes available.
