Operated by APCOA, Gateshead Interchange Centre Car Park provides 300 spaces on a secure tarmac surface adjacent to Gateshead Interchange bus and Metro station. The lot is open 24/7 with barrier-controlled ANPR access; payments are made at pay-on-foot machines (£4 per day; £2 after 6 pm) accepting card, coin, or contactless. Fourteen accessible bays are located near the main pedestrian exit to the interchange, featuring dropped kerbs and tactile guiding strips. LED column lighting with motion-sensing walkway lights ensures safety during overnight hours, and the site is monitored by 24-hour CCTV with on-site security patrols between 10 pm and 4 am. In early 2024, the car park was resurfaced and line-markings repainted; a digital display at the entrance shows live bay availability. Covered cycle lockers for 12 bicycles are located next to the accessible bays. Directional signage guides drivers toward exit routes onto Wylam Street and compositional pedestrian signs direct intermodal connections to bus stands 3 and 4.
