Parking Schoten: free street parking—disc required in parts of the village centre

Looking for parking Schoten? In Schoten, on-street parking is generally free, but in larger parts of the village centre you’ll need to use a parking disc (blue-zone style) during set hours on specific streets and municipal parking areas.

If you’re arriving during these limited hours, it’s also worth checking Mobypark for future availability on your exact date, so you’re not dependent on finding the last disc spots.

Where the parking disc is required (days, hours, and exact locations)

The parking disc is required in these streets/parking areas in Schoten (between the listed road intersections/areas):

• Paalstraat (between Rodeborgstraat and Markt)
• Theofiel van Cauwenbergshlei (between Paalstraat and Kruispadstraat)
• Parking ’t Ven
• Marktplein
• Churchilllaan (between Markt and the roundabout Kasteeldreef, including the parking near Voorzorg)
• Parking for Sint-Cordulakerk

Rules apply Monday to Saturday, typically between 09:00 and 18:00. Sundays and public holidays are not included.

How long you can park there (and how to set the disc correctly)

With a valid parking disc, you can park for up to 2 hours in the disc zones. The disc time must start from the arrival time you indicated.

To set it correctly, place the arrow on the next half-hour step after your arrival time. For example, if you arrive at 12:15, set the arrow to 12:30 and you may park until 14:30. If the 2 hours are up, you must move the car—it’s not allowed to “extend” by turning the disc.

Parking for longer stays: where visitors can leave the car

If you want to leave your car for longer, Schoten points visitors to areas where you’re not limited to the disc rules, including:

• Rubensstraat (parking area behind Sint-Cordulakerk)
• Parking at the cemetery

Also, some car parks around local destinations are listed as alternatives when you don’t want to rely on the disc spots.

Disabled parking and quick solutions for care visits

For drivers with a G-parking card, Schoten explains that you can request a nearby disabled parking place at your home location if you meet the conditions (for example, you must have a valid G-parking card and no suitable parking options at your own place). Note that the spot is not “personal”; other G-card holders may use it.

If you’re a care provider visiting someone by car, Schoten also mentions a care parking sticker system that helps professionals park briefly at/near the home address for a home visit (rules and steps apply via the municipal contact point).

If you need a parking restriction for works, moves, or deliveries

If your plan involves taking up part of public space (for example a parking area, sidewalk, or roadway portion) for construction, a move, a container, or similar, Schoten indicates you need a permit and to apply within the relevant lead times. This is separate from everyday visitor parking, but it matters if your “parking” is actually a temporary street occupation.
