Prepared by Radif Partners · How we calculate
Eindhoven has few paid street zones in the National Parking Register: 6 with a standard hourly rate. The dearest is Centrum - uurtarief A, where the first hour costs €4.80. The second hour is a little cheaper there: two hours together cost €9.30, so €4.50 for the second hour. What stands out is that the centre is paid on Sunday too, from 09:00 to 21:00, just as on weekdays. After 21:00 you park free. In the other zones the rate lies between €2.10 and €2.75 an hour. An eight-hour working day in the centre costs €36.30; for such a day a garage is often better value, but garages outside the register are not covered here. The costs of a parking penalty in Eindhoven are €57.60, below the legal maximum.
Parking in Eindhoven: the zones
Eindhoven’s register is short. The centre has its own hourly rate; the zones around it are cheaper.
| Hourly rate | Zones | For example |
|---|---|---|
| €4.80 | 1 | Centrum - uurtarief A |
| €2.75 | 1 | Schil - uurtarief B |
| €2.25 | 1 | Strijp S - straattarief |
| €2.10 | 3 | Rest Eindhoven - buiten Ring uurtarief C, Rest Eindhoven - Zanddreef, C15 - Rest Eindhoven - Javalaan (vanaf 2026) |
The hourly rate in the table is what the first hour costs. Because of how the fare is built, a longer stay costs a little less per hour, as the calculator shows. Set the duration yourself to see what that means for you.
Paid hours in the centre
The same hours seven days a week: unusual in the Netherlands. A Sunday afternoon of shopping costs as much as a Tuesday.
| Day | Paid hours (hourly rate) |
|---|---|
| Monday | 09:00 to 21:00 (€4.80/h) |
| Tuesday | 09:00 to 21:00 (€4.80/h) |
| Wednesday | 09:00 to 21:00 (€4.80/h) |
| Thursday | 09:00 to 21:00 (€4.80/h) |
| Friday | 09:00 to 21:00 (€4.80/h) |
| Saturday | 09:00 to 21:00 (€4.80/h) |
| Sunday | 09:00 to 21:00 (€4.80/h) |
