Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Reading Railway Station Car Park on Vastern Road [APCOA](https://www.parksy.com/blog/apcoa-parking-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) lists £5.50 for up to 6 hours, £10 for up to 24 hours and 24/7 access for both short-term and long-term parking (APCOA). Network Rail lists the daily charge as £23, so the price shown can depend on the booking or parking arrangement used (Network Rail). The short-stay car park opposite Malmaison offers 20 minutes free for drop-off (Malmaison). ## Commuter Parking and Pre-Booking at the Station Weekday demand is likely to matter most for commuters because the station car park operates continuously from Monday to Friday, with the same 24-hour availability on Saturday and Sunday (Network Rail). APCOA provides a pre-booking facility, which lets drivers arrange station parking ahead of a journey rather than relying entirely on arrival availability (APCOA). APCOA’s pre-book page describes the facility as day parking in a secure multi-storey car park and shows limited availability for bookings (APCOA). A pre-booked total of £26 is displayed for a parking session on the APCOA booking page (APCOA). Drivers making a brief collection or drop-off can use the station short-stay car park’s 20-minute free period (Malmaison).
