Prepared by Radif Partners · How we calculate

The Hague (Den Haag) has 88 paid street zones in the National Parking Register. Nearly everywhere the same hourly rate of €2.75 applies: in 74 zones. The shopping streets in the centre and the Scheveningen seafront are the expensive ones, at €7.15 an hour. In Centrum - Kernwinkelstraten you pay on weekdays from 09:00 until midnight, at weekends until 2 am and on Sunday from 13:00. Two hours of shopping there cost €14.30. The register also lists 6 zones with a rising rate, where every minute costs more the longer you stay, which makes a long stay very expensive. There is one park-and-ride site by the beach. We found no Hague by-law stating the penalty amount; by law the costs are capped at €82.00.

Beach, park and ride and fines

For a day at the beach, the park-and-ride site at Scheveningen is worth a look; see park and ride by city. The costs of a parking penalty cannot exceed €82.00 in 2026, the legal maximum stated among others in the Almere by-law. We have not read The Hague’s own amount. More under parking penalty. If you park in the same district often, ask the municipality whether a permit or visitor scheme is possible.

Common questions

Tap a question to see the answer.

What is the rising parking rate in The Hague?

In 6 Hague zones, including Centrum - Dagtarief and Scheveningen - Dagtarief, the register sets a price per minute that climbs with the length of stay. After the first twenty minutes the price changes in blocks of ten minutes, and from eighty minutes the highest price per minute applies. Short stays stay affordable and a whole day becomes very expensive. Pick the zone in the calculator to see the amount.

When does paid parking stop in Scheveningen?

On the Scheveningen seafront the register shows paid parking every day from 10 am until midnight, and in some zones until 2 am at weekends. In summer the signs may show other hours, for example during events. The calculator shows the hours per day for the zone you pick; the sign on the spot takes precedence.

Can I park in a permit-holder bay in The Hague?

Only with a permit or a resident’s visitor scheme. Those bays are not in the register as paid parking, so the calculator does not cover them. Park there without a right and you risk a parking penalty assessment. The signs show which bays are for permit holders.
