Guildford Shopping and Council Car Parks Beyond Campus
For drivers who would rather leave the car away from the university grounds, Guildford town-centre parking provides an alternative to the Stag Hill and Manor Park sites. The campus guidance identifies several university car parks, including permit-only, pay-and-display and shared-use areas, but town-centre spaces are separate from those arrangements (help.surrey.ac.uk).
The university’s own free period is limited to 7pm to 7am, when vehicles must enter after 7pm and exit before 7am (help.surrey.ac.uk). Weekend campus parking is £2 for a full day on Saturdays and Sundays (help.surrey.ac.uk), making a nearby town-centre car park worth comparing for a short visit.
Busy Parking Periods Around University of Surrey
Parking is limited on campus, and applications for student parking permits are handled through the university’s permit system (my.surrey.ac.uk).

Open days and other university events can add visitor demand around Stag Hill, while evening and weekend visits follow different charging rules. Free parking applies only between 7pm and 7am, seven days a week, with entry after 7pm and exit before 7am required (help.surrey.ac.uk).
