Where to park in Heerenveen
The municipality of Heerenveen is divided into sub-areas, and you pay in the centre and in the stretch of ring that sits directly against it. Outside that you do not need to settle anything. On the street parking costs € 1.90 per hour, and that is billed per ten minutes: if you stand for half an hour, you also only pay for half an hour. The day rate on the street is € 9.00.
Geerts Willigengarage is the logical choice as soon as you stay longer. The hourly rate is the same as on the street, but the day is € 7.00 there instead of € 9.00. You pay afterwards there, at one of the two meters, and there is permanent camera surveillance. If you travel on by train, the P+R area sits at the rear of the station: € 2.50 for four hours, with a maximum of € 5.00 per day.
Until when you pay?
The paid hours run from Monday to Saturday from 9.00 to 20.00, with one exception: on Thursday it runs through to 21.00. Outside those hours and on national public holidays you park for free, and that also applies in Geerts Willigengarage. On Sunday you therefore do not need to pay anything. If you stand on the P+R site, that works differently: there you buy a ticket for four hours, for a day, or for a run of days in a row. With your debit card you can pay up to six days ahead, with coins up to two days.
Paying on-street and in the car park
On the street in Heerenveen you can pay with cash, contactless, or via a parking app. In the car park both payment meters take coins or debit card, and paying via your phone works there too. With SimplePark you start the session as soon as you are parked and you stop it when you drive away; you pay by the minute. That fits well with a town that already bills per ten minutes itself: you do not have to work out in advance how long you will stay in the centre.
