Parking information and charges
Parking can be a challenge in the centre of Arundel where free parking is limited and many residential homes do not have off street parking. This is especially so during the summer when there can be lots of visitors in town.
Electric Car Charging
There are Electric Vehicle charging points at McDonalds and BP Crossbush Service Station (24 hours) on the A27, East of Arundel. Find out more here. There are also 4 Electric Vehicle parking bays with charging available, at Arundel Train Station Car Park. There are currently no electric vehicle charging points in Arundel Town Centre.
Street Parking
Whilst there is unrestricted street parking in the majority of residential streets, there are a number of locations in the centre of town where parking is restricted to a 1 hour time limit (with no return within 1 hour) between the hours of 09.00 to 17.00, Monday to Saturday. For more detail, including locations of loading bays for goods vehicles and disabled street spaces please see the West Sussex County Council map.
