Parking Aanschot, Eindhoven

If you’re looking for parking Aanschot (Aarschot), the key is matching your trip to the right zone: paid street parking in the centre, time-limited blue-zone parking, and a few short free options. Use the rules below to avoid fines and wasting time circling.

Know the 3 parking zones in Aarschot (Aanschot)

Aarschot uses three main on-street regimes: a paid zone, a blue zone, and free parking zones. The most restrictive areas are usually in/around the city centre and parts of Parking Centrum in the Demervallei.

• Paid zone: generally daily 9:00–18:00, except Sundays/public holidays and 11 July.
• Blue zone: generally daily 9:00–18:00, except Sundays/public holidays and 11 July, with a maximum stay when you display the blue disc.
• Free parking: available in other legal street/area parking spots across the city.

Tickets for the paid zone are handled at the parking meter; check the exact tariff/payment instructions on the city’s parking information pages for up-to-date details.

Free (or very short) parking options near the centre and station

Before you pay, look for the short-stay rules that are designed for quick stops:

• Free quarter in the paid zone: you can park 15 minutes free at any time in the paid zone by taking a free parking ticket from the green button on the parking meter.
• Free hour after school: on Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri you can park 15:00–16:00 free; on Wed you can park 11:30–12:30 free (the hour where the school day ends).
• Sensor parking (max 30 minutes free): there are sensor short-stay spots on the Grote Markt and for the station area (near Velo). You don’t need a ticket and you don’t need a blue disc, but staying over 30 minutes can lead to a €25 retribution ticket.

If you’re arriving for a very short errand, these are usually the quickest way to avoid paying full street parking time. If your plans may need more flexibility later, you can also check Mobypark for future availability—right now, there are no bookable spots for this location.

Blue zone rules (blue disc): time limit and common mistakes

In the blue zone, you can usually park with a blue parking disc for a maximum of 3 hours during the applicable hours (9:00–18:00, excluding Sundays/public holidays and 11 July).

• Where it applies: the zone covers the city centre and parts of Parking Centrum in the Demervallei. It also appears in a portion of Rillaar-centre (on the Diestsesteenweg between Kapelleke and Blankestraat, and in Blankestraat itself).
• Important exception: in the blue zone on Parking Demervallei, a resident’s card is not valid. You should always display the blue disc there.

Practical tip: set your blue disc to the time you actually arrive—not when you leave your car a moment later.

Station B-parkings: evening and weekend relief

Parking around the station includes B-parkings behind and to the sides of the station area (closed with a boom), which are managed by the railway operator. These parkings follow the operator’s pricing rules, but they’re often free during off-peak hours.

• Free at night: generally 19:00–07:00.
• Free on weekends/public holidays: generally Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
• Event exceptions: some major events can change availability (check local event announcements if you’re travelling during those periods).

If you’re travelling by train and want a lower-stress option, the station B-parkings are often the easiest to plan around—especially in the evening.

Choose the right parking quickly (recommended flow)

1. First, decide your stay length: under ~15 minutes? the paid-zone free quarter can work; under 30 minutes? consider sensor parking.
2. Next, check whether you’re in a paid or blue zone: paid zone means meter/ticket; blue zone means blue disc and a 3-hour limit.
3. For evenings/weekends: if you’re heading to the station, prioritise the station B-parkings (often free outside peak times).
4. If you want to avoid searching on the day: check Mobypark to see whether any future bookable spots appear for your dates, then compare with public options above.
