Car parking at Goole Hospital
As parking on our sites is limited we ask that staff, patients and visitors use alternative means of transport where possible, so that priority is given to those who really need it.
The car park is located opposite the main entrance to the hospital, where there are 208 spaces for patients and visitors – including dedicated disabled parking.
Motorcyclists are able to park, free of charge, in the bays in any of our public car parks. On approaching the barrier, please use the intercom to contact a member of our staff and they will be happy to raise the barrier for you.
As you drive in through the barrier, your registration number is read by our Automatic Number Plate Recognition system.
When you’re ready to leave, please go to the pay station and enter your vehicle registration number.
If there’s anything you need to be aware of that could impact on parking availability we will post details here and on our social media, so please check before you travel.
Blue Badge holders
Parking for Blue Badge holders is free but you need to register your vehicle by emailing us at [email protected] with your:
- Name
- Badge number (and a copy of your badge)
- Vehicle Registration Number
Once you’re registered, the barrier will lift automatically when you leave, with no charge to pay.
Car park charges
It’s important to us that we continue to invest in high quality, professional security staff and technology to keep you, our staff and our sites safe.
Our Security teams deal with an average of 852 incidents every month, ranging from violence and assaults to antisocial behaviour and theft. They also help us to support vulnerable patients and work closely with Humberside Police to help prevent and detect crime.
We’re able to provide this service thanks to the funding generated from our onsite car parks. However, the cost of this service, along with our maintenance and lighting costs, are rising. To continue to meet these costs, we need to increase our charges too – and the new rates will come into force from Monday, 1 September.
This will be the first time we have reviewed car parking fees at our Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust sites in nine years and will bring them into line with the charges on our Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust sites, where there will also be a slight increase in charges.
We also continue to offer a wide range of discounted rates, along with free parking for patients receiving treatment for cancer, Blue Badge holders, the parents and guardians of children staying in hospital overnight and the parents, guardians, and next of kin of those receiving palliative care. Patients who need to attend regular outpatient appointments may also be eligible to claim back the cost of their parking.
To apply, talk to one of our Parking and Security team or visit the parking pages on this site.
While, in an ideal world, we would like to offer everyone free parking, unfortunately that’s not a viable option.
While we need to provide parking for our patients, visitors and staff, we don’t receive any central funding for the upkeep of these car parks.
That means that if we don’t charge for parking, that maintenance would have to be paid for with money we believe is better spent on patient care.
You can also pay via your mobile phone using the Flowbird app. This service is provided by an independent company and you can find out more here.
Please note that from 1 September 2025 there has been a slight increase to charges for parking on our hospital sites.
The new rates are:
- Up to one hour: £3.40
- One to two hours: £5.60
- Two to four hours: £6.30
- Day tickets: £7
We also offer a wide range of concessions for patients and visitors, including:
- Free parking for Blue Badge holders
- Weekly tickets: £35
- Long term ticket (after the first seven days): £7
In addition to the daily, weekly and long-term rates above, you may be entitled to further concessions.
You may be eligible if:
- You’re a cancer patient attending for a course of treatment
- You are the parent or guardian of a sick child who is staying overnight
- You are the parent, guardian or next of kin of a patient who is receiving palliative care and you’re staying for prolonged visits.
Ward managers or their deputies can provide you with a letter detailing the reason for the concession, which must be presented to the security and car park team, who can issue a temporary pass for up to seven days.
In exceptional circumstances, the car park supervisor may, at their discretion, grant a pass for a longer period.
A concession is also in place for those who have to come to hospital for an appointment at least three times within the space of a month, for an overall period of at least three consecutive months.
If this applies to you, please pick up a claim form from the Car Parking and Security Office on site.
Claims for this concession are made retrospectively, so you will need to keep hold of your receipts.
