Where to park in Hengelo
Hengelo has four car parks in and around the centre, more than 900 on-street spaces and thirteen separate blue-zone spots. On the street and on the parking sites there is one standard rate of € 1.00 per 27 minutes; on the sites you can also buy a day rate of € 8.80. The sites are spread across the centre, among others at Ir. M. Schefferlaan, Wolter ten Catestraat, Sherwood Rangers, Eikstraat and Mitchamplein.
The municipality itself runs De Beurs car park, with the entrance on B.P. Hofstedestraat between the market square, the library and the theatre. There you pay € 0.50 per 14 minutes, with a day rate of € 11.10 and a night rate of a maximum of € 7 between 18.00 and 5.00. The other car parks, Thiemsbrug and De Brink, and the Q-Park site at the station each have their own rate. All car parks are a short walk from the shops, the weekly market, the theatre, the cinema and the town hall.
Times and the Sunday trap
Paid on-street parking applies from Monday through Friday between 9.00 and 18.00 and on Saturday between 9.00 and 17.00, with late-night shopping on Thursday until 21.00. On Sunday and on public holidays on-street parking is free. Watch the exception that surprises many visitors: in the car parks you have to pay every day, so also on Sunday and on public holidays. For a quick errand there are the blue-zone spaces, where you stand free for half an hour with a disc.
Paying by phone
If you have no coins or debit card to hand, you pay in Hengelo via a parking app; the municipality points you to the comparison site for mobile parking. With SimplePark you start your session as soon as you are parked and stop it when you drive off. You pay per minute, which works well in a city that itself charges in blocks of 27 and 14 minutes: you do not have to work out how many blocks you need.
