These rates are listed for the university’s visitor parking and give short appointments, full-day visits and weekend trips separate options. Students need a permit for the permitted campus areas. The university says student permits allow parking in Car Park 1, the multi-storey, Car Park 7 excluding 7a, and Holywell Car Park excluding Holywell Gym (lboro.ac.uk). [APCOA](https://www.parksy.com/blog/apcoa-parking-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) operates the university parking service, with vehicle registration, permits and account management handled through its parking portal (lboro.ac.uk; apcoaconnect.com). ## The Busiest Times Around the Campus Parking pressure is greatest during university term times, when daily student and staff travel combines with visitor movements across the campus. Union Way sits in Thorpe Acre, where a car is not the only consideration during busy campus periods. Student permits are restricted to Car Park 1, Car Park 7 excluding 7a, and Holywell Car Park excluding Holywell Gym (lboro.ac.uk), so permit holders cannot treat every campus car park as interchangeable. The university lists Traffic and Parking on 01509 226777, while APCOA lists 0345 301 1151 for parking support (lboro.ac.uk).
