Parking in Aldershot Town Centre: Car Parks, Charges and Rules
Where to park in Aldershot town centre, what each car park charges, and the Sunday, evening and Blue Badge rules.
The largest council car park is the High Street multi-storey (GU11 1SD, 326 spaces), where the ground floor is £6.50 all day Monday to Saturday and Sunday is a flat £1.50. The Wellington Centre (GU11 1DB) is a card-only private car park that is open 24 hours. Blue Badge holders still pay in council car parks, but some tariffs give double time.
Aldershot town centre has five Rushmoor Borough Council car parks and one large private car park, The Wellington Centre. Charges below are as shown on the council and operator pages in October 2026, so check the machine or the page before you leave the car.

After 6pm on weekdays, at weekends and on bank holidays it is open to the public. The council points Princes Hall visitors to the High Street multi-storey as the larger option.
Sundays and evenings
In all five council car parks, Sunday from 8am to 6pm is a flat £1.50 for the whole day. Night charging runs from 6pm to 9am, and in the High Street multi-storey, Birchett Road, Parsons Barracks and Princes Gardens the council lists it as £2 for the whole night. Princes Hall lists after-6pm charges of £1.10 to £11, depending on how long you stay.
The ground floor of the High Street multi-storey is closed from midnight to 2pm on Sundays for the Rushmoor car boot sale, according to the council.
How to pay
The council car park pages list coins, credit and debit cards (not American Express or Diners Club), Google Pay and Apple Pay. The pages we checked do not mention RingGo, so do not assume you can pay by phone app; look at the signs on site.
Blue Badge rules
Blue Badge holders still pay in Rushmoor car parks. The council's Blue Badge page says you buy a ticket and display it with a valid badge. On tariffs marked with an asterisk, the time on your ticket is doubled, but not on 30-minute or 1-hour maximum-stay bays, or all-day and weekly tickets. The Birchett Road page says the time there will be doubled. On-street disabled parking in Aldershot is managed by Hampshire County Council, not Rushmoor.
The Wellington Centre
The Wellington Centre's own parking page says the car park is at GU11 1DB, accessed via Victoria Road, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with over 400 spaces. It is managed independently by YourParkingSpace and is card payment only, at kiosks before you leave or online. The page lists:
- Up to 1 hour: 70p
- Up to 2 hours: £1.30
- Up to 3 hours: £1.60
- Up to 4 hours: £1.80
- Over 4 hours: £5.00
