Parking Maastricht

Looking for parking Maastricht? In practice, the “right” spot depends on zone prices, paid hours, and how long you’re allowed to stay—so you can park without time pressure (or tickets).

Book private parking in Maastricht with Mobypark

Mobypark offers bookable private parking spots in Maastricht—places owners don’t actively use, such as hotel parking, office building spots, private driveways, and unused garage spaces. When street parking is limited to short maximum durations (or when garages fill up), reserved private parking can be the simplest way to avoid moving your car.

Because Maastricht’s central street rates can reach €3.70 per hour (Zone A) and garages in the inner areas can be much more expensive, Mobypark private spots are often a cheaper alternative too—while still focusing on availability for your exact dates.

Street parking zones and paid hours in Maastricht

On-street parking is split into zones. The closer to the centre, the higher the price.

• Zone A (city centre): from €3.70 per hour (from 1 January 2026) with progressive pricing the longer you stay.
• Zone B (other areas): typically €1.90 per hour.

Paid parking times are generally:

• Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat: 08:00–18:00
• Thu: 08:00–21:00
• Sun: 12:00–18:00

In many areas you pay via a parking meter or app and you enter your license plate number. If you enter the wrong plate or don’t pay enough, you risk a fine.

How long can you park on the street? (maximum-hours rule)

In multiple central neighbourhoods, street parking has a maximum duration (often 1 to 4 hours, depending on the area). In those zones, you usually can’t “reset” the limit by paying again—you may need to move your car.

If you want to stay longer without worrying about the clock, that’s exactly where it helps to compare reserved options on Mobypark instead of planning around the street’s max-hours rule.

P+R (Park & Ride) for cheaper parking Maastricht

If your goal is to reach the centre without the highest on-street prices, P+R is a practical first choice. P+R Maastricht Noord is free (Hoekerweg, 6222 AN Maastricht). From there, you can continue by public transport (for example via buses such as lines 3, 10, and 30), or by train.

It’s often a good trade-off when you expect busy periods in the centre. And if you prefer to keep it flexible (or you’re travelling with luggage/at awkward times), you can also compare reserved private parking on Mobypark to avoid searching for a space near your final stop.

Parking garages in the centre (including the Vrijthof area)

In the inner city, garages can be the most convenient—but also the most expensive. For the Vrijthof area, the garage underneath the Vrijthof square charges around €5.29 per hour with a maximum day rate of about €35.00 and is open 24/7. It also has a 2.00 m height limit and can be very busy during events and on Saturdays.

If you’re driving in on a peak day, arriving “hoping there’s space” can cost time—and sometimes money. Comparing a reserved private spot on Mobypark can reduce that risk compared with relying on last-minute availability in premium garages.

Overnight parking and permits (how to stay within the rules)

Overnight rules in Maastricht depend on the street/area. Generally, paid parking is defined during the listed paid hours; outside those hours, you may not need to pay—but in certain neighbourhoods (for example parts of Wyck) there are periods that can limit overnight parking due to access/traffic restrictions. For long stays, many drivers choose garages or P+R instead of street parking.

Also watch out for permit-only spaces: without a valid resident/business permit you can receive a fine. If you don’t have a permit and you want predictable access for a longer stay, pre-booking a private spot via Mobypark is often the easiest way to avoid last-minute legal uncertainty.

Use the Mobypark search with your Maastricht location and dates to check availability before you drive.
