Free, with a disc in the centre
Den Helder has no paid on-street parking. Parking is free, and to keep the centre accessible there are five blue zones: three in the centre, including Van Galenbuurt zuidoost and Sluisdijkbuurt, and two outside it at Het Nieuwe Diep and Weststraat-Keizersgracht. In those zones you set a parking disc and may stay max. 3 hours, from Monday to Saturday between 9:00 and 18:00. In the evening and on Sunday the zones do not apply and you stand unlimited and free.
Exemption on licence plate
Residents and businesses in a blue zone can apply for an exemption at Parkeerservice Den Helder, max. two per address and only valid in their own zone. An exemption is issued on licence plate; there is no pass, at checks your licence plate is scanned. A business can link up to ten plates to one exemption and switch online which car is using it at that moment.
Car parks
For long parking in the centre there are the Sluisdijk and Koninckshoek car parks. For both, no new subscriptions are being issued at the moment.
