The rail-station parking information lists 458 spaces, including 19 accessible spaces (National Rail). [APCOA](https://www.parksy.com/blog/apcoa-parking-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) operates Leicester station parking, with a Monday to Sunday daily rate of £16.50 (APCOA). APCOA also lists an off-peak rate of £8.30 from 10:00 to 02:30 on Monday to Friday, plus an evening rate of £2.20 from 18:00 to 02:30 every day (APCOA). These tariffs suit different journeys, with the evening price aimed at later arrivals and the off-peak option covering weekday travel outside the busiest period. ## Street Parking by Pingle Wharf Approach and Black Friars The council's published charges are £2.50 for up to 1 hour, £5 for up to 3 hours, £6.30 for up to 4 hours, £8.80 for up to 6 hours, £12.50 for up to 9 hours and £15 for up to 12 hours. Those council limits and charges apply to the city's signed parking facilities rather than automatically to every kerb beside the station. Show map of Leicester ## Parksy Spaces Within 0.2 Miles of the Station Parksy lists a driveway space in Leicester, LE3, 78 yards from the station at £11.09 an hour, and another space at Swan Place, 93 yards away, at £75 a week. Both are close enough for a short walk and suit drivers who want to avoid the station tariff, while the weekly option is better aligned with regular weekday travel. Further choices include parking at Ramada Jarvis Leicester, 187 yards away, at £4.10 a day, and a space near Travelodge Leicester, LE3, also 187 yards away, at £0.80 an hour. A Sky Plaza Hotel space in Leicester LE3 is 0.2 miles away and costs £2.40 a day. Secure covered parking at Bath Lane Car Park is 0.2 miles away and costs £100 a month, making it the longer-term choice among the priced listings. ## Commuter Parking Choices for Leicester Rail Journeys The station's 458 spaces give commuters a substantial on-site supply, but a large car park can still be inconvenient at the weekday rush when rail demand is concentrated. For predictable access, the Parksy listings provide different commitment levels: the Swan Place space is priced weekly at £75, while Bath Lane Car Park is priced monthly at £100. Daily users can choose the Ramada Jarvis Leicester space at £4.10 a day or the Sky Plaza Hotel space at £2.40 a day. The hourly listings are the flexible choices for occasional station trips, with one at £11.09 an hour and another at £0.80 an hour.
