Where to park in Enschede
As a visitor to Enschede city center you pay everywhere. So the question is mainly where you are best off. On the parking sites the rate depends on the zone: in zone 1 and 1B, the heart of the city, an hour costs € 3.85, in zones 2 to 8 around it € 3.45. The maximum day rate is in both cases five times the hourly rate, so a long day in the city center adds up.
Parking under cover is often cheaper. In the six car parks you pay € 3.35 per hour between 7.00 and 19.00, charged in blocks of € 0.50. For a whole day there is a ceiling: € 16.75 at Brouwerij, Stationsplein, Irene and H.J. van Heekgarage, and € 8.50 at Mooienhof and Hermandad. In Brouwerij car park in Roombeek the first 2 hours are also free. Do watch the clearances: they run from 1.95 to 2.10 meters.
Evenings, Sundays and public holidays
After 19.00 the car parks become attractive: until 7.00 in the morning the hourly rate drops to € 1.00, with a maximum of 5 hours, so € 5.00 for the whole evening and night. On the street the hours differ per zone. Zone 1 and 1B stay paid until 23.00, the other zones until 19.00. On Sunday you only have to pay from 13.00, everywhere.
On New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Whit Sunday and Christmas Day on-street parking is free everywhere. On the other public holidays the shopping-Sunday hours of the zone in question apply.
Traveling on or paying with your phone
If you would rather leave the car at the edge of town, drive to P+R Zuiderval. There parking costs € 3.00 per day and on showing your ticket five people travel on free by bus to the city center. You can also pay with a debit card, credit card, coins from € 0.10 and, only in the car parks, with banknotes. Your phone is easiest: with SimplePark you start your parking action as soon as you have parked and stop it when you drive away, so you only pay for the time you were actually parked.
