Where to park in Almelo
Almelo is split into three parts: in the centre you pay, around it lie blue zones where you may stand one hour with a disc, and beyond that you park unlimited free. If you come for the shops, you do well to drive straight into a car park. That is cheaper than the street: in the car park you pay € 2 for the first and second hour and € 1 for the third and fourth, with a maximum of € 6 per day, while on the street after the first hour you pay € 3.00 per hour.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday the first two hours are even free in the Havenpassage dek P14, StadsBaken P9 and Stadserf P1, P2 and P3 car parks. After that you pay the ordinary rate from the third hour. If you stay all day, for instance because you continue by train, a long-stay car park or JavaPark P12 is more convenient.
Paid hours and the blue zones
Paid parking applies Monday to Saturday between 9.00 and 18.00, and on Thursday until 21.00. The same hours apply in the blue zones, where you stand max. one hour with a parking disc. In the hospitality area those hours differ: Monday to Wednesday the disc applies between 9.00 and 18.00, and from Thursday 9.00 the arrangement runs through to Sunday morning 7.00. There too you may stand max. one hour.
Paying with your phone
On the street you pay at the meter or through a parking app. With SimplePark you start your session as soon as you are parked and stop it when you drive away, so you only pay for the time you were actually there. Handy in a city with a starting rate and rising half hours: you do not have to decide in advance how long you will stay.
