Parking at Cardiff Metropolitan University

Cardiff Metropolitan University’s campus parking is permit-controlled, with most spaces requiring a permit and residential permits and restrictions also in place (cardiffmet.ac.uk). This makes a permit the relevant arrangement for eligible students, staff and residents rather than relying on an ordinary visitor space.

Visitors to Cardiff Met campuses must use Pay and Display at the signed rate, while visitor parking between 08.00am and 4.00pm is subject to the campus arrangements (cardiffmet.ac.uk). The Cyncoed campus car park is operated through Saba Parking, is open 24/7, accepts payment through PayByPhone and has a 2.0-metre maximum vehicle height (sabaparking.co.uk). The Llandaff campus car park is also operated by Saba Parking and has the same 24/7 opening and 2.0-metre height limit (sabaparking.co.uk).
