Parking Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen, Groningen

Book private parking near UMCG with Mobypark

If you’re looking for parking Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen, don’t rely only on what’s available when you arrive. Mobypark lets you book private parking spots—for example unused hotel/office parking, private driveways, and empty garage spaces owned by people who don’t use them all day. Depending on your parking time, pre-booking on Mobypark can work out up to 60% cheaper than the typical UMCG day tariffs (often up to €16–€22).

Use the search bar to compare nearby options for your exact dates, so you can park with less time pressure—especially useful for appointments where you can’t keep circling for a free space.

UMCG P-North and P-South (on-site garages): 18 minutes free, then €1 per 18 minutes

UMCG’s own garages P-Noord and P-Zuid are open 24/7 and have a maximum vehicle height of 1.90 m. The first 18 minutes are free, then the rate is €1 per 18 minutes, with a maximum of €22.00 per 24 hours.

If you’re a patient, you may qualify for reduced tariffs by showing an appointment/admission letter at reception. The daily cap can be up to €7.00 per day (and there’s a €27.50 week ticket for patients). If you’re paying the standard visitor rate, Mobypark can be a practical alternative because you’re not forced into the on-site day cap if your appointment is shorter.

Boterdiep and Damsterdiep: 24/7 and higher inlets (up to 2.00–2.05 m)

For easier access (or when your vehicle is taller), Boterdiep and Damsterdiep are both open 24/7 and offer higher maximum inlets than P-Noord/P-Zuid:

• Parking garage Boterdiep: up to 2.00 m; €1 per 20 minutes; max €16.00 per day.
• Parking garage Damsterdiep: up to 2.05 m; €1 per 18 minutes; max €22.00 per day.

These garages can be a strong choice if you prefer on-site parking and want clear day caps. Still, if you want to avoid arriving and guessing whether you’ll find a convenient place, booking a private spot via Mobypark can help you compare options in advance—often with a lower effective daily cost than the larger caps.

Street parking, paid zones, and resident permits around UMCG

Around major medical campuses, street parking is usually paid and often comes with time limits. You’ll also typically find restrictions for loading areas, bus lanes, and other regulated zones, plus resident permits that don’t apply to visitors.

If you only need parking for a short period, street parking can work—just make sure you check signage carefully before you leave the car. If you need certainty (or you expect peak-time pressure), Mobypark offers a booked alternative so you’re not dependent on finding an available curb space.

Quick checklist before you park at UMCG

1) Check your height limit. P-Noord/P-Zuid are limited to 1.90 m. If your car is higher, Boterdiep (2.00 m) or Damsterdiep (2.05 m) may fit better.

2) If you’re eligible as a patient, bring your letter. Reduced UMCG rates depend on showing an appointment/admission document at reception.

3) Plan your arrival so you don’t lose time. UMCG’s P-North and P-South garages use license-plate recognition to speed up exit, but you still want a smooth entry—especially if you’re arriving by appointment time.

If you want the least stress, compare options and book in advance on Mobypark, then head straight to your reserved spot.
