Is there space now? Use live occupancy before you drive in

For a quick decision, check the real-time occupancy display for P Tolhuis and pick the option that still shows sufficient free places during busy moments. Availability can change quickly around peak times and events—so it’s worth checking right before departure.

Parking Tolhuis tariffs: day vs night and common time bands

Parking Tolhuis uses time-based pricing with a clear day/night split: day rate = 7:00–19:00 and night rate = 19:00–7:00. There are also special event considerations (e.g., during Gent Feesten and the Lichtfestival, the day tariff applies).

Tariffs are charged per non-divisible time slice, so rounding up can happen if you overrun your planned duration.

Rules to know: LEZ and cashless payment

Parking Tolhuis is in the Low Emission Zone (LEZ). Make sure your vehicle complies before you enter. Also, the city notes that from 7 January 2026 you can’t pay in cash at the payment machines in these city parkings.

If Tolhuis is full: how to use street parking safely

If the garage shows low availability, switch to street parking by following the zone signs (paid vs restricted areas) and the posted time limits. Look specifically for areas that require payment for the time you park, and check whether a resident permit or “permit-only” rules apply—these are common sources of tickets when drivers assume they can park like normal.

For long stays, starting with the Tolhuis garage is often the simpler option since it’s designed for 24/7 access. For date-flexible plans, you can still check Mobypark in case additional private options appear for your arrival time—without needing to guess if Tolhuis will be crowded.
