Where to park in Almere
Almere is one of the few cities where the car park is cheaper than the street, and the municipality says so out loud: you park most cheaply in the car parks and on the sites; on the street you pay more. In the centre of Almere Stad an hour on the street costs € 3.90 and in the six car parks around the centre € 3.15 with a daily maximum of € 14.90.
If you come for an errand or a short appointment, look at the neighbourhoods around the centre (Odeongebied, Staatsliedenwijk, Stedenwijk Noord and Midden, Filmwijk, Randstad). There the rate is € 1.40 and the first half hour is free once you have registered in the app or at the meter. Almere Buiten has its own rate and shorter paid hours.
Zones and paid hours
Almere works with parking codes for mobile parking; the code is on the post by the meter. Watch the hours per area: in the centre of Almere Stad you pay until midnight, in the neighbourhoods around the centre on weekdays until 22:00 and Thursday to Saturday until 24:00, in Almere Buiten until 22:00 and on Sunday until 17:00.
Licence-plate parking
Almere is a licence-plate city: you enter your plate at the meter or start your session in the app and no ticket goes behind the windscreen. Resident permits and visitor schemes apply only in their own permit zone, so if you park with friends in another neighbourhood, you pay the street rate of that neighbourhood.
