Driver FAQ’s:
Do I need to pay to park here now?
Yes. Parking charges are now in effect. Please check the tariffs on this page and make sure you pay before leaving the car park to avoid a Parking Charge Notice. On matchdays, you must also have a valid pre-booking. Those who held car parking season tickets last season have until Friday, June 19 to renew – full details here.
How do I pay for my parking?
On non-matchdays there are three ways to pay. You can pay digitally using PaybyWeb – just scan the QR code on the signage and pay from your phone, no app needed. If you park here regularly, Hozah AutoPay lets you register your vehicles and payment details at hozah.com/autopay so you are charged automatically when you leave.
Please note that non-matchday season tickets are not valid on matchdays.
What is Hozah AutoPay and do I need to sign up in advance?
AutoPay is Hozah’s simple and automatic payment option. Register your vehicle details and a payment card once at hozah.com/autopay, and you’re done. Every time you park at a Hozah-managed car park, your number plate is recognised on entry and exit, and the correct charge is applied automatically when you leave. No tickets, no machines, no fuss.
You do need to register before your first visit, but after that it works everywhere – one sign-up, every Hozah car park.
Is matchday parking included in a non-matchday season ticket?
No. Non-matchday season tickets are valid for non-matchday use only. On matchdays, alternative parking arrangements will be in place and those who hold car parking season tickets will be contacted shortly before the 2026/27 season for the relevant details.
How does the car park know how long I have been parked?
Hozah uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera technology. Cameras read your number plate when you enter and exit, so your parking duration is calculated accurately.
What happens if I do not pay?
If you leave without paying, you have until the end of the day to settle your parking charge at hozah.com/1239. Just enter your vehicle details, arrival time, and length of stay, and pay online. If there is no payment made after 24 hours, a Parking Charge Notice may be issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle. We want to make paying as easy as possible, so please use one of the available payment methods before you leave.
