Convenient to park if coming for the restaurants nearby after 6:30pm. Otherwise, a bit expensive.
Free parking with a bus stop just opposite that goes straight into the city. Absolutely amazing.

There is good children playground side of this parking place
What is this that the minimum parking time is a daily rate? The mist expensive hour of parking I had in my life. Will look for alternatives in the future

It’s all on street
Not very appealing car park. Bit pricey given the state of it, still it was cheaper than city centre paeking

Best place to park in Cambridge if you don't mind a 10 min walk into the city centre. Cheap parking and very well maintained.
Easy to use & park. Great central location. Average city centre parking costs
Signs were terribly misleading, suggesting a discount if shopping at one of their partners, however when reading the fine print this is only at a select few of their partners and doesn’t include the majority of shops listed on the sign as partners.
Terrible experience trying to get out as ramps are too narrow with very tight corners for a larger car. I was driving a Lexus RX450h and on second attempt scraped drivers side rear door and caught mirror. I was taking it extremely slowly and wished I had more space to back up for a third attempt. I shall never return there.
"The worst car with a small width to come out (just skipping 1 car space on each floor, giving a nice space for the car to come out). My new three-month-old car's side mirror got broken 😓. One of the most ridiculous car park builders, and you can see the wall where it's damaged. OMG, if the wall is damaged like this, how many cars might get damaged?"

Small, a tight fit - rather like Gwydir Street.
There is a lot of parking available for differently abled folks here. Paid parking is incredibly expensive!

Great find! So easy to reach from M11. Reasonably priced (although the jump from £4.50 for 4 hours to £9 for 5 hours is bonkers). Nice 15-20 min stroll to central Cambridge
The location is fantastic, especially if visiting Cambridge Junction. The ramps are a tight fit but take it slow and don't be careless and they're very manageable. It's not as harrowing as people make it seem. Prices are decent, especially if you validate. Just check the website on how to pay.

First of all, contrarily to a previous comment, the parking is not free. Also, despite having a bunch of slots, it's always full. 1/10 visits will result in parking. I have saw drivers having a quarrel with each other for a single parking spot. Also, the car park is not open 24 hours. Overall, bad experience because the car park's always full. Full.
Minimum is 1 day? I stayed for 15 minutes and ended up paying 12.6 pounds?!?

Usually you can find a spot and it's cheaper than other public car parks.

Tiny car park. Totally full with all the Electric car spaces spare. I checked twice both empty spaces
Rubbish
Anyone would better of leaving their car on the street or walking compared to parking here.

Corners not designed for anything much bigger than a Ford Ka. Payment machines often don’t work, which is worse than it sounds. It means you have to talk to the staff. Donkey-brained, gorilla-looking lunatics, most of whom barley speak English.

Better than last time i saw
we were first timers here and in our opinion one star for an excellent large car park BUT no stars for the terrible payment system. we loaded the app and then it didn't recognise the car park number....3 of us checked the input was good. we ended up having to use the qr code which asked for so much detail when all you want is to catch a train...We wasted 15 mins in the car park when all you should have to do is flash your payment card...is the idea you give up and end up paying a penalty so the car park company earn more....will avoid this station car park in future...
Bike nicked here. Security said they would call be back but they didn't
Beware, blue badge holders still need to pay and display or register with the app.
Massive queues. Need to make every one pay before they get to the gates. I will go to Vue or arts cinemas from now on. The car parks work there.
Parked here while staying at Novotel. Well connnected to the hotel and the train station. For around £13 for 24 hours, this wasn't the most expensive parking places.
Rubbish. Nothing to tell you that you have to pay a MINIMUM of £10 even if you only want to stay half an hour. Signage is TERRIBLE there are NO tariffs displayed just sign after sign telling you to pay or else you'll be fined. Avoid this car park! Goodness knows how it's averaged 2.5 stars it's not worth any.
Good, but made me download yet another car parking app, is rather far from the station so need to be quick if you are cutting it tight
pity it is no longer free, as it was a nice spot for the play ground, they could have simply enforced a time limit to prevent day parkers.
Not a bad car park, Price deserves 5 ☆s the only issue was The ramp widths weren't wide enough, / Extremely small, And could cause car damages
I parked slightly off the mark. the rear wheel on the right side was on the white stripe marking the parking spot. in an otherwise gigantic and empty parking lot with plenty of space. they charged me 70 pounds penalty for it. This is what I'd call predatory practice.

Great car park for visiting places on Mill Road. Very small and it can take some manoeuvring to get into some of the spaces but it’s totally doable!

Tried to book this on the NCP website pre-booking, being well aware and OK with the 4am quirk. However, the search did not identify Cambridge Station Car Park as a valid location, so pre-booking is unavailable. Quite inconvenient NCP, maybe expand the website's ability to deal with this?

car park...
Easy to pay trough the app, plenty of parking spaces. It's £12,50 per day, but you can have a discount if you work in the area and want to pay for a seasonal pass

This carpark is a conundrum. Central, but far from anywhere. Convenient, but parknpay not RinGo. Spacious, but convoluted. A tantalizing feast forever just out of reach it yearns for us to strive onward, exalted in our dual beast-god humanity, but often full.

Like a Gordian knot, it sits like a puzzle to be solved impossibly.
Ideally situated for the Junction. Reasonable price and no problem with the payment machine. The ramps are narrow but I could get round in my Jeep and there were plenty of other 4x4s in there. You just have to drive carefully. Clean and the lifts we’re working.

Like the location. Nice walk into town through a rural track
Great parking station with tons of space and lighting. I felt very safe parking here while using the train station and parking lot. Download the app to extend parking and take a picture of your car with plate information. I thought the pricing was reasonable and not expensive.
Keep your JustPark app updated.

They offering a insurance while you parking the car- really a good one.
Pay machine keeps cancelling transactions. Super short hours in winter. terribly expensive. Used to be a great car park :(
Good little car park. If you plan to stay 5 hours or more £9.00 ouch! It is near the River Cam. A cafe is near by as well. Great spot if you want to walk into the city centre. I've been told that the car park floods in the winter. Payment can be made via an App or with a bank card or contactless by bank card, Google Pay or Apple Pay from your mobile.
Very poor signage, particularly for those with poor eyesight. Also the colours of the signs certainly don't help!
My first visit today and 3 other visitors found the experience hard to pay for a ticket in the long stay.
Loads of spaces which was good, but the rest of the experience was rubbish!

I’ve only used this car park on weekends, and there has not been an issue finding a spot. Signage and payment is clear, the only issue is it’s a tad expensive. It is quite close to the train station so the price may not be an issue for you.
Plenty of space and located right next to station. However be sure to take the first left to long stay car park instead of driving up to the station like I did. I had read reviews and downloaded the NCP parking app, however it is actually the paybyphone app. So safe yourself some time and download this before you arrive, then you're all set up to enter the car park number 😊

Free parking after 7pm, otherwise its not dear for Cambridge before 7pm (£1.80 for 2 hours), and walkable distance to city centre, if you need upto an hour there. Is off Mill Road.
The car park is huge with plenty of space but the first time you visit, one is taken aback by the fact that there are no visible payment machines. You can of course pay at the train station and run back to afix your ticket to the car windscreen. There is an app for payment, the photo and location code is included in the photos section. Clear information about parking payment would be a useful add on in the station website. Car park officials have to think about a payment option for those not keen on paying online. Otherwise all good.

Very convenient parking for Mill Road as it is more or less in the middle. You can also pay by app which I always prefer as most of them have the option to extend without having to go back to the car park.
Lots of Space, BUT the pay structure is not good at all. You can not pay per hour, instead you have to pay in 24 hour blocks AND that 24 hour period begins at 4am! We stayed Saturday night at the Ibis and needed 36 hours of parking but had to pay for 48. As per most car parks these days, you have to pay via an app. Walk into city centre is about 25 mins
The carpark is too exspensive for years and years its been free to park in Newnham carpark so families can stay on park and kids can play in pool. They have spoilt that now. Its out of order charging the public. Anything to get public money shame on you.
It’s not free any more - but not too expensive compared to the city centre car parks and in a lovely spot!
Free, near to local amenities and facilities.

Great free parking. Make sure you arrive early, as after 10:15 there are no spaces left.
Go around it few times, and you might be lucky to spot somebody who is just leaving.
Small car park with people fighting over spaces. Then again what do you expect with a free car park with such a perfect location. Located right within a park with a small paddling pool and a lot of kids play equipment. It's also a lovely walk away from the city centre. I always go here first hoping to get a space.
