Prepared by Radif Partners · How we calculate
Zwolle works with four numbered zones. Zone 1 Centrum is the only one with the top rate, and there the amount rises the longer you stay. The first hour costs €4.00, the second €8.00. Four hours cost €28.00 according to the register, eight hours €60.00. If you stay long, the zones around it are therefore cheaper. In zone 2 Centrumschil and zone 3 Spoorzone an hour costs €2.00, in zone 4 Schil and in the car parks €1.50. At 12 places, mostly car parks, the register lists a day ticket, usually €7.50. In zone 1 you pay on weekdays and Saturday from 09:00 to 23:00, on Sunday only from 13:00 to 17:00. In the other zones paying usually stops at 20:00. The costs of a parking penalty are €82.00, the legal maximum. A first resident permit in zone I costs €225.00 a year.
