JustPark Prices Near Elstree & Borehamwood Station
Day rates across these five driveways range from £5.60 to £9.70, all cheaper than the official £10.50 weekday rate, though the saving is bigger on some streets than others (Goldfinch Way works out roughly 47% cheaper, Furzehill Road closer to 8%).

These are the rates on the specific listings above and vary by street, since they're privately owned driveways rather than the operator-run station car park. Always check the individual space before booking to confirm price, walking distance and any access restrictions.
Getting the Train from Elstree & Borehamwood
Elstree & Borehamwood is on the Thameslink core route, with direct trains roughly every 15 minutes and an average journey time of around 24 minutes into London St Pancras. The same line runs south to Gatwick Airport, Three Bridges and Brighton, and north to St Albans, Luton and Bedford, so it works just as well for the odd airport run as it does for the daily commute. Although the station sits in Hertfordshire, just outside Greater London, it falls within Travelcard Zone 6.
If you'd rather not drive the whole way, several bus routes also stop at the station, including the 107, 292, 306, 615, 658 and 668, giving you another way to close the gap between home and the platform.
Making the Commute Easier Week to Week
For anyone doing this journey two or three days a week rather than five, paying a daily rate at the official car park adds up fast — and a full season ticket rarely makes sense if you're not there every day. Booking a driveway space near the station through JustPark's commuter parking options means you can pick the days that suit your actual pattern, lock in a price in advance, and stop thinking about parking every time you leave the house.
That's especially useful if your week is a mix of office and home days. Rather than paying full daily rates on the days you do drive in, a pre-booked space near Elstree & Borehamwood keeps the cost predictable and takes one more decision off your plate before you've even had your morning coffee.
Book monthly parking near Elstree & Borehamwood station to lock in one of these rates on a rolling basis.
