Parking in London

As one the world's busiest capital cities, trying to park a car safely, quickly and cheaply in central London is difficult unless you plan in advance. Private car parking companies operate around the city, so you can research car parks near your destination and save money by pre-booking your parking in advance.

On-street parking in London is on a Pay & Display basis. Charges are in operation from 8:30 am – 6:30 pm Monday to Saturday, with exceptions. There is always signage near the parking metre with the exact times for the particular zone.

Congestion Charge

The London Congestion Charge applies to all vehicles entering central London. The driver, rather than the car hire supplier, is responsible for paying this charge if you drive your car hire into the charge zone. You can find a map of the charging zone and check addresses at the Transport for London website. It is cheapest if you pay on the day of travel in to the charging zone, as the charge will increase if you pay the next day. It is best to budget an extra £10 per day of driving in central London and payment methods include telephone, online and SMS text messages.
