Parking at NUI Galway
Visitors and invited guests must park in Pay & Display (P&D) spaces, which are located in various locations on campus. Visit Maps for the Parking Map.
If you park in a P&D space, you must display a valid P&D ticket. Please note that P&D spaces are marked with blue lines and text (“P&D/Í&T”). If you park anywhere else and display only a P&D ticket you may be clamped. P&D tickets only apply to spaces marked with blue lines.
An alternative method of paying for visitor parking is available through Pay by Phone. This allows payment to be made on site by downloading the app (apcoaconnect) or remotely through a website. Local signage will direct you through the process and detail the charges in each location by code.
There is a Park and Ride car park in Dangan that has a bus service to campus (10 minute bus ride, 20 minute walk). The Park and Ride car park is located in Dangan (to the northwest of Corrib Village). It can be accessed via the entrance to Corrib Village, off the Upper Newcastle Road. Opening hours are from 0600 to 2300 on weekdays only. The spaces in the Park and Ride are for staff and students only, but the Pay and Display/Pay by Phone spaces are available for visitors if they purchase a ticket from the nearby machine or online via the app (apcoaconnect).
