Hi, I'm about to start commuting from Guildford station and I see on the website that there is a lower rate for SMART cars:
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/gld/details...

Am I reading that right, and does any one have any experience of the scheme?
Is it only smart cars or do similar city cars like the Toyota iQ get covered!?
Tks

Sure that isn't just their marketing wish-wash brand name for parking?

The same applies in Woking for season ticket holders. The lower CO2 rating the cheaper the parking


Smart car or similar 1100 per year.
4x4 upwards of 2600 per year.

I can't remember the actual figures, as my company pay for my parking season ticket.

Wouldn't buy new though, as the depreciation will wipe out any parking savings...

Used smart cars can be had for £1000.
