## Galway Ceannt Station Car Park on Station Road

The station car park is operated by [APCOA](https://www.parksy.com/blog/apcoa-parking-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services), with Galway Ceannt Train Station listed among its Galway locations (apcoa.ie). The station is on Station Road, placing the railway entrance close to the city centre and the main approach for rail passengers.

APCOA lists a one-day parking rate of €6.50 for Galway Ceannt Train Station (apcoaconnect.ie). The operator also provides driver and vehicle options for its Galway locations, including electric vehicle charging, motorbike parking and coach parking (apcoa.ie). These facilities make the station car park the most direct option for passengers carrying luggage or meeting an arriving train.

## Street Parking Near Station Road and Central Galway

Those locations are useful for brief city-centre visits, but the hourly charge makes them less suitable for a full working day beside the station.

The council lists Dyke Road and Cathedral among Galway’s long-stay car parks, charging €10 per day (galwaycity.ie). Drivers using central streets should follow the signed parking controls at the space, while the council’s short-stay and long-stay classification indicates that parking conditions differ between locations.
