Driving

Car-sharing is when two or more people share a car and travel together.

It allows individuals to benefit from the convenience of the car, whilst reducing travel costs, congestion and pollution.

We will soon be introducing a car share app called Faxi. This app will help you find fellow students who want to car share.

You’ll be able to use this to set up regular travel or travel occasionally.

Students who hold a Council Blue Badge are eligible for a free University car park permit. Students with other exceptional circumstances (health / severe mobility problems) may be eligible to apply and pay for a car park permit.

Please register with our Disability Advice Team to apply. No other student car park permits are issued.

There is limited public car parking available at both campuses.

There is no student parking available on City Campus apart from Blue Badge and university permit holders.

Pay Parking is available at the Rose Bowl, which is open Monday to Sunday 06.00 to 01.30. Parking time can be purchased on arrival or on exit.

If paying for parking on arrival with the PayByPhone app you can extend your stay at any time from your phone, you can also pay online and by phone, For more detailed infomation on how to pay for parking we have a more detailed guide for City Campus pay parking.
