Car Parking
Parking space for vehicles within the University and its car parks is limited and unfortunately it is not possible for the University to meet all the parking needs of staff and visitors.
The University issues car parking permits for a number of parking areas around the campus. The demand for car parking exceeds the provision and the permits are issued annually, subject to the payment of a fee.
Visitor parking is still available. Please see Visitor Parking section below where you will find a link to the User Guide
Please log into Queen's Online to access the car parking system.

Electric Vehicle Infrastructure at Queen’s
As part of the University’s electric vehicle infrastructure, Queen's provides double-headed EV chargers in key locations across campus, designed to improve accessibility and support our transition to a lower carbon campus.
Queen's also operates a fleet of fully electric vans servicing the University estate. These vehicles support day-to-day campus operations, offering a cleaner, quieter alternative to traditional diesel-powered transport.
