In most cases parking charges apply from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday, including Bank Holidays. At the moment, facilities for charging electric vehicles (EVs) in Cirencester are limited, but this has been helped a little with the introduction of Shell charging points at Waitrose.

Free all day parking is available on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays in the staff car parks serving Cotswold District Council, Trinity Road, GL7 1PX and St James's Place, Hammond Way, GL7 1FP (next to the Leisure Centre).

In addition, there is free roadside parking in a section of Cricklade Street, near the junction with Querns Lane. There is also various other 'on-street' parking scattered across the town centre. Cirencester's 'free after 3pm' scheme ended on April 2022. This scheme allowed free parking in two town centre car parks after 3pm.
