  • Free to use
  • Open Monday to Friday, 7.00am to 10.00pm

If you use the shuttle bus to College Lane or de Havilland, you will need to buy a £1 day ticket from the cashless ticket machine or on the bus.

The ticket:

  • Is valid for the whole day
  • Covers multiple journeys from the Park and Ride
  • Is not required for travel between campuses
  • Is not required for your return journey to the Park and Ride

Park & Stride:  Although the Park and Ride shuttle bus won’t be running from the Park and Ride out of term time, you can still use the car park for free and walk to campus . Check out our TikTok to see the route.

Parking on campus 

Most students without an Extenuating Circumstance (EC) permit can park on College Lane campus only in:

  • The Multi-Storey Car Park (next to the Forum)
  • Car Park E (behind the Art and Design building)

To park on campus, you must register with Hozah, the University's parking provider.

Register for parking: Hozah

Overnight parking is not permitted unless you have a residential parking permit.

1. How do I register for parking? 

Before parking on campus, you must register your vehicle and payment details with Hozah.

After registering:

  • Check that you have received a confirmation email (including your spam or junk folder).
  • Manage your vehicle details and payments through your Hozah account.
  • Parking charges will be collected automatically.

If you park before registering, you must register by 11.59pm on the same day to avoid receiving a Parking Charge Notice (PCN).

Parking for up to two hours is free, but you must still register with Hozah.

 If you don’t receive a confirmation contact the Parking Team at parking@herts.ac.uk

You’ll need to log in to your Hozah Account to change any details. 

5. Who can I contact if I have a  query?

Parking for students with a disability, caring responsibilities or young children

If you have a Blue Badge, you can park on either campus. You must still register with Hozah and pay the reduced parking rate.

If you do not qualify for a Blue Badge, you may be eligible for an Extenuating Circumstances (EC) permit, which may allow parking on both College Lane and de Havilland campuses.

An EC permit gives you permission to park, but does not guarantee a parking space.
