Additional Information
Some additional information about parking in woking station, to cater to all your parking needs
On-street parking
There is limited on-street parking near Woking railway station with a typical maximum stay of one hour. For example, pay-and-display street parking is available at Chertsey Road within the hours of 8:30 am and 6:00 pm. The spaces are free outside these hours. Other streets such as Oriental Road allow voucher parking for an hour (vouchers are sold in shops). For railway travellers during peak hours, off-street parking is the only option.
Off-street parking
The nearest off-street car park to Woking station is the Premium car park operated by South West Trains. During peak hours, there is a flat rate of £16.80 at this car park. Further down the track is the Oriental Road car park, where the rate is a more favourable £11.00 for all-day parking. Prices are much reduced at the weekends.
Other car parks in the area offer similar all-day rates to the Oriental Road site but are only worth considering if you want a short stay and are popping to the station to meet someone or for tickets. The car park at Heathside Crescent or the Victoria Way multistorey are the nearest ones. Both are council car parks offering identical prices.
