Parking Erasmus MC without stress: reserve private spots on Mobypark

Parking Erasmus MC is easiest when you plan for limited spaces and arrive with a spot already reserved. Erasmus MC keeps access for patients and visitors, so the garages can get busy—especially during peak appointment times. With Mobypark you can book bookable private parking spots nearby (for example unused hotel/office/driveway spaces) so you spend less time searching at arrival and more time on your appointment. For many stays, pre-booking can also mean a better total cost than paying hospital garage tariffs on the spot, and sometimes up to 60% cheaper depending on how long you park.

If you’re visiting for a short stop, still check whether you can fit your timing into the hospital’s free exit window—otherwise, pre-booking is the safer way to avoid last-minute pressure at the barrier.

On-site garages at Erasmus MC (Westzeedijk and Wytemaweg)

For the most direct option, use the hospital’s own garages. Follow the road signs to Parkeergarage Westzeedijk (Westzeedijk 361, 3015 AA) or Parkeergarage Wytemaweg (Wytemaweg 12, 3015 CN). On the signs, Erasmus MC shows how many spaces are available per garage.

• Open 24/7 (7 days a week)
• No parking at the forecourt: at Dr. Molewaterplein you can only stop for drop-off/pick-up (Kiss & Ride)
• Free exit within 20 minutes after entry
• Payment: pay at the machines before you pick up your car (PIN/credit card; cash is possible at the machine at entrance 4)
• Barrier works by license plate: your plate is recorded on entry and recognized after payment

Height limits matter here. At Westzeedijk the clearance is 2.25 m on levels 1–2 and 2.10 m on level 0. At Wytemaweg it is 1.90 m. If your car is higher than 2.25 m, contact access management at least 24 hours in advance with your vehicle height, license plate and your name.

Both garages also offer accessible parking (you need a disabled parking card) and EV charging (follow the charging signs and pay with your own charging card). Because the garages have a limited number of spots for patients and visitors, it often helps to compare this “park on arrival” option with a reserved private spot on Mobypark—especially when you want certainty for a longer stay.

Street parking near Erasmus MC: short stays, paid zones, and permits

Outside the garages, street parking options exist, but they are usually regulated with paid time limits and strict enforcement. In parts of Rotterdam, resident permit rules may apply—so without a local permit you should treat street parking as a short-stay option rather than an easy all-day solution. If you’re coming at busy times and need flexibility, booking a reserved private spot on Mobypark can remove the risk of circling for an available and legal space.

• Always follow the signs for maximum parking time and the tariff
• Use the correct payment method (meter/app) if the spot is pay-and-display
• Double-check your time before returning to your car to avoid overstaying

What Erasmus MC parking costs look like (and how to choose)

Erasmus MC garage tariffs are time-based. The hospital states: €4.40 for the first hour, then €2.20 per 30 minutes, with a maximum day rate (24 hours) of €41.50. Exact prices can vary by period, so always confirm on the payment machine when you arrive.

Compared with paying on arrival at the hospital barrier, a pre-booked private spot can work out much better for longer visits, and sometimes up to 60% cheaper depending on duration. If your visit is short, the hospital’s free exit within 20 minutes may fit—otherwise, reserve your parking so you don’t have to decide at the last second.

Discount parking cards for visitors and repeat appointments

If you qualify, Erasmus MC offers discounted parking in the Westzeedijk and Wytemaweg garages. These cards can be very helpful for fixed visits (and when you don’t want to keep re-checking on-street rules). If you don’t qualify, it still makes sense to compare the total cost of your stay with a reserved private spot on Mobypark.

• 14-day card for visitors of inpatients: €45 per card for unlimited parking for 14 days (up to two cards per admitted patient, usable at the same time)
• Polikaart for outpatient appointments: €60 for unlimited parking for 28 days
• 10-strip card for repeat visits: €50 for 10 entries; each entry allows up to 24 hours per strip

Cards are purchased at the reception at the main entrance (06:30–22:30) using a valid admission/appointment letter, and they apply to the Erasmus MC garages (Westzeedijk and Wytemaweg), not to the separate municipal Museumpark garage. If you lose or forget a card, you’ll generally need to pay the normal tariff from the payment machine instead.
