Parking at Coventry University’s Cox Street Campus
Student parking at Coventry University costs £3 per day in all University car parks, with a shorter option of £2 for up to 4 hours and no return on the same day (coventry.ac.uk). Staff parking costs £4 per day in all University car parks (coventry.ac.uk). The campus address is Cox Street, Hillfields, Coventry, CV1 5FD, placing university-controlled parking close to the central buildings.
Contractors must display a Contractor Parking Permit and buy a Pay & Display ticket when using any University car park (coventry.ac.uk). The university’s Parking Team is based at the 1st Floor Reception in the Alma Building on Alma Street and can be contacted on 024 7765 8788 (coventry.ac.uk). The university operates the campus car parks rather than a private parking company, so student, staff and contractor arrangements are separate.
Shopping and Council Parking Around Central Coventry
These are practical for a visitor combining a campus appointment with city-centre errands, while students attending for a full day need to compare the payment period with the length of their stay.
The parking at university buildings is pay and display, including the Technology Park locations (AccessAble). Complimentary parking at the Technology Park is available in Car Parks A, B or C on a first come, first served basis (The Simulation Centre). The Technology Park option is therefore most useful when a driver is visiting that part of the campus rather than relying on a guaranteed space beside Cox Street.

Busy Periods and Street Restrictions Near the Campus
Arrival weekends also bring extra pressure because campus parking is used by students moving into university accommodation (coventry.ac.uk).
University car parks use pay and display, and contractors need both a permit and a ticket (coventry.ac.uk). Parking at the university buildings is pay and display, including the Technology Park (AccessAble). Complimentary Technology Park parking in Car Parks A, B or C is first come, first served (The Simulation Centre), which makes those spaces especially uncertain during busy university periods.
