Short-stay sensor parking (Grote Markt & station area)

There are sensor-controlled short-stay spaces (including at the Grote Markt and near the station). These are designed for quick stops:

  • Up to 30 minutes is free.
  • No ticket and no blue disc are required for the free period.
  • Staying over 30 minutes can lead to a retribution fine of €25.

Note: a municipal parking card and a disability parking card are not valid for these sensor spaces.

Free parking options you can use nearby

There are a few recurring “free” options in the paid zone—handy when you just need a quick arrival:

  • Free quarter-hour: In the paid zone, you can park for 15 minutes free at any time by taking the free parking ticket via the green button.
  • Free parking hour after school: On Mon, Tue, Thu & Fri between 15:00–16:00, and on Wed between 11:30–12:30 (the hour when the school day ends).

You may also find larger parts of Parking Centrum in Demervallei with free and unlimited parking—however, a smaller section is controlled by the blue zone, so still check the ground markings.

NMBS station car parks for evenings and weekends

If you’d rather park away from the busiest on-street rules, consider the station car parks (B-parkings) around Aarschot station. These are managed by NMBS and have predictable time-based access:

  • Typically free from 19:00 to 07:00 (night time),
  • Also free on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays,
  • For certain major events, NMBS may apply a different parking arrangement—check official info for that date.

How to avoid tickets when parking near Abricot

  • Match the zone: Paid vs blue zone have different actions (ticket vs blue disc) and both usually run during 09:00–18:00.
  • Use the right “free” method: The free quarter-hour in the paid zone requires the green-button ticket, not just “staying briefly”.
  • Watch the 30-minute sensor limit: If you might be longer, don’t rely on the free sensor window.
  • Disability cards: A disability parking card can allow unlimited free parking in Aarschot, but it doesn’t make the sensor spaces exempt.
