Car parks

There are 17 car parks and 12 on-street parking areas in the borough. All car parks are enforced daily and charges still apply on bank holidays.

We have six electric vehicle (EV) charging locations. For more information go to our electric vehicle page.

Ticketless machines

All of our car parks have ticketless machines, which means that they will not print off a pay and display ticket. You can request it to print a receipt. When you have made the payment, the information is sent to our officer's devices to let them know if you have paid.

RingGo

You can also pay for parking in all of our car parks using the RingGo app or by calling 01622 260190.

Parts of the car park are used for Maidstone Market on Tuesdays and Saturdays. When the market is taking place these areas are closed to vehicles.

Blue badge holders can park in any disabled bay free of charge for up to four hours. If none of the disabled bays are free, badge holders can park in one of the other bays free of charge when displaying their badge.

Motorcycles

Motorcycles can use the bays free of charge for up to four hours. If you park in a normal bay, you will need to pay.
