Prepared by Radif Partners · How we calculate
Maastricht has 33 paid street zones in the National Parking Register. In 7 zones, such as Centrum, Wyck, Jeker and Ceramique, an hour costs €3.70. Further out it is €1.90, and a few zones have a rate of €0.20. Paid hours are short: on weekdays and Saturday from 08:00 to 18:00, on Sunday from 12:00 to 18:00. After six in the evening, street parking is free in all 33 zones. Two hours in the centre cost €7.40. A long day costs more than eight times the hourly rate: eight hours cost €39.20, €9.60 more, because the rate rises after a few hours. Maastricht supplies no zone outlines to the register, so the address search cannot find a zone here. A parking penalty costs €82.00 plus the first-hour rate.
Parking in Maastricht: zones and hourly rate
The highest rate applies in the old city on both banks of the Maas. In the districts beyond it is about half.
| Hourly rate | Zones | For example |
|---|---|---|
| €3.70 | 7 | Academieplein betaald parkeren, Centrum betaald parkeren, Centrum1 betaald parkeren |
| €1.90 | 16 | Biesland betaald parkeren, Boschpoort betaald parkeren, Brusselse Poort betaald parkeren |
| €0.20 | 10 | Gebiedscode BoschprtTE tbv mobiel parkeren, Heugem1 betaald parkeren, Heugemerveld1 betaald parkeren |
Because the municipality supplies no zone outlines to the register, you pick the zone yourself from the list. The name, for example Centrum or Wyck, is on the meter and in the parking app. If in doubt, pick the dearest zone nearby, so the amount holds no surprise.
Paid hours in the centre
Maastricht stops charging early. An evening in town costs nothing on the street if you arrive after six. On Sunday paying only starts at noon, so Sunday morning is free too.
