Where to park in Doetinchem
Doetinchem works with a rate ladder: the closer you park to the center, the more you pay. The hourly rate runs from € 1.30 at the outer edge to € 2.50 at the spots closest to the shops. The parking meter shows what applies at your spot.
If you stay longer than a few hours, a day ticket is almost always cheaper. At most meters it costs six times the hourly rate, but around the center a number of spaces have a logo above the meter: there you pay a fixed € 4.00 for the whole day, even if the hourly rate is high. You can buy a day ticket before 9.00 in the morning and it is valid until 21.00. If you want to pay nothing at all, park on Stationsstraat by the railway station and walk to the center in 10 minutes.
Paid hours and Sunday
Paid parking applies from Monday to Saturday between 9.00 and 21.00, so well into the evening, when restaurants and bars are busy. On Sunday you park free on many municipal spaces. On national public holidays you do not: then the ordinary paid hours simply apply, except if the public holiday happens to fall on a Sunday.
Two places fall outside that arrangement. The car parks have their own hours, and the permit-holder spaces on Kapoeniestraat/Grutpoort require a day ticket of € 25.00, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You buy that in advance online, not at a meter.
Car parks and paying with your phone
The municipality has Amphiongarage and Catharinagarage; Hofgarage belongs to another owner. You drive in, get a ticket and pay afterwards at the meter. You can always exit, entry only during opening hours. In Amphiongarage you can also buy the day ticket of € 4.00.
On the street you pay by license plate. You enter the zone number from the meter in your parking app and checks happen digitally. With SimplePark you start your parking action as soon as you have parked and stop it when you drive away; you pay for the time you actually stand there, in the time steps Doetinchem uses, so you need not decide in advance how long you will stay.
