Parking Bonheiden, Mechelen

Blue zone parking in the centre (parkeerschijf)

Looking for parking Bonheiden? Start with the rules in the village centre: a blue zone applies between 9:00 and 18:00, where you can park for up to 2 hours using a parkeerschijf (set your arrival time). From 18:00 to 9:00, parking in the blue zone is unlimited. If you’re arriving during busy hours and don’t want to risk searching at the last minute, check Mobypark for future availability before you drive.

Free randparkings for longer stays

If you need parking beyond the 2-hour window, Bonheiden provides free edge parkings (randparkings) for long-stay drivers. On the main approach roads, signs indicate where these lots are, and smaller direction boards take you to the exact parking area. These randparkings are located within about 200 metres of the blue zone, and they’re often less busy in the evening and at night.

What changes from 1 January 2026 (resident cards in the centre)

From 1 January 2026, residents will no longer be able to buy new resident cards for long parking in the village core on streets including Dorp, Schommen, Schoolstraat and Kerkplein. The goal is more turnover so visitors can find parking closer to shops and hospitality. For visitors, the practical takeaway is simple: use the blue zone 9:00–18:00 (max 2 hours with the parkeerschijf), and rely on evening/night parking rules and the free randparkings when you need more time.
