Transport for Wales confirms that there are no car parking facilities at the station (tfw.wales). National Rail also lists no station parking spaces and no accessible parking spaces (nationalrail.co.uk). The station entrance is on Bute Street, Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, CF10 5LE. A drop-off and pick-up point is available at the station, according to National Rail (nationalrail.co.uk). For a longer stay, drivers need to use a separate nearby space or a city car park rather than expect a railway-station tariff. ## Parksy Parking Spaces Near Cardiff Bay Railway Station Parksy lists two priced spaces within 281 yards: a driveway in CF10 at £4.50 an hour and parking at Rimini House in Cardiff Bay at £8 an hour. These are close choices for short visits when proximity matters more than a full-day rate. For longer stays, a secure space at Hansen Court is 0.3 miles away and costs £5 a day. A space near Grangetown Health Centre is 0.4 miles away at £4.20 a day. Two further options at Novotel Cardiff Roxby Court and Novotel Cardiff Centre in the Bay Area are each 0.5 miles away, priced at £6.50 an hour and £3.50 a day respectively. The hourly listings suit brief appointments, while the daily spaces are more practical for a work shift or day trip. Show map of Butetown ## Commuter Parking Choices for the Station Journey Regular rail users should plan around the lack of station parking rather than rely on finding a railway bay on arrival. The nearby Parksy daily options include Hansen Court at £5 a day, Grangetown Health Centre at £4.20 a day and Novotel Cardiff Centre in the Bay Area at £3.50 a day. Those prices make the daily listings the relevant choices for a full commuting day. The National Rail station record lists a drop-off and pick-up point, but lists no parking spaces (nationalrail.co.uk). Drivers wanting a longer-term arrangement can also consider the listed secure Hansen Court space, while the hourly listings are better matched to occasional journeys. ## On-Street Parking Around Bute Street and Cardiff Bay Cardiff Bay railway station sits on Bute Street in Cardiff Bay, near Butetown. Drivers stopping for a passenger should use the designated facility rather than treat the station frontage as all-day parking. For an extended stay, the station’s lack of parking means a separately listed space is more suitable than assuming nearby kerbside parking is available. The station record itself lists no accessible parking spaces (nationalrail.co.uk), so accessible drop-off arrangements need particular care. ## Walking and Rail Connections From Cardiff Bay Cardiff Central railway station is the nearest alternative, 0.8 miles away and a 17-minute walk from Cardiff Bay railway station. Cardiff Central has Central Quay Car Park next to the train station, with secure 24-hour parking, CCTV and regular patrols ([apcoa](https://www.parksy.com/blog/apcoa-parking-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services).co.uk). The car park is managed by APCOA, according to Network Rail (networkrailmediacentre.co.uk). [Q-Park](https://www.parksy.com/blog/q-park-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) Cardiff Bay provides another city-centre parking choice, with charges of £2 for up to one hour, £3.50 for up to two hours, £5 for up to three hours, £6.50 for up to four hours and £8 for up to six hours (q-park.co.uk). Cardiff Bay’s rail connection is therefore best approached by parking in a separate facility and walking to the station, or by travelling via Cardiff Central when its nearby car park better suits the journey.
