Where to park my car?
Free parking at P+R area
The cheapest and easiest way to park is in a Park+Ride area on the outskirts of the city. Here you can take advantage of free parking. All P+R areas have direct links with public transport to the city centre. You can be there within 20 minutes, without any parking problems!
Parking in a multi-storey car park
You can also choose to park in one of Rotterdam’s many multi-storey car parks. Parking in a multi-storey car park is often cheaper and safer than parking on the street. The parking indicators direct you to the nearest free parking place in a multi-storey car park.
In most multi-storey car parks you can pay in several ways: in cash, with a Prepaid Chipknip or credit card.
On-street parking
If you park your car on the street, you must bear in mind that parking charges apply to the whole inner city, as well as other busy places. Tariffs and the times at which charges apply are stated on all ticket machines. You can no longer use coins in on-street ticket machines.
It is not possible to use coins in Rottedams' on-street parking meters. Payment can be made in the following ways:
Prepaid Chipknip
A separate cash card is available for tourists. A balance in euros is stated on this so-called Prepaid Chipknip. The Prepaid Chipknip car be purchased from various point in Rotterdam. The cash card enables you to pay at parking ticket machines, but also at 160,000 other payment points in the Netherlands.
By credit card
In many places in the city centre, and at shopping centres, leisure facilities, tourist attractions and hotels, the parking meters offer the facility to pay with your credit card. You can identify these meters by the credit card logos.
Parking cards
At the 'city stores' you can purchase parking cards, which can be used in those areas of Rotterdam where there is paid parking. You can buy these parking cards valid for a week or a month in the area in which you wish to park.
