Two rates, and a free Sunday
Purmerend has roughly two prices. In the centre, at the car park behind the town hall, on Stationsweg and in Zuiderpolder you pay € 3.25 per hour. In the ring around it that is € 1.85 per hour: Gors-Noord, Hazepolder, Kop West, the Wagenweggebied, the Waterlandkwartier, Weidevenne and the Wherekant car park. At Beatrixplein the same low rate applies with a day maximum of € 6.25, which immediately makes it the handiest spot for a long day.
Paid hours run from 9.00 until 21:00. On Sundays and on the official public holidays, from New Year's Day through Boxing Day, street parking in Purmerend is completely free. That applies only on the street: in the car parks you keep paying on those days.
Three car parks in the centre
Purmerend has three car parks in the centre: Claxonate on Schoolplein, the Stadhuisplein car park on Purmersteenweg and the Eggert car park at Eggert shopping centre. They are all paid between 7:00 and 22:00, including Sundays and public holidays, and between 22:00 and 7:00 you park there for free. Claxonate charges per minute after the first 20 minutes and is capped at € 9.60 per 24 hours; at Eggert you pay per half hour with a maximum of € 12.00 per day.
Scan car and the app
The municipality checks with a scan car: it drives past and reads licence plates. If you forgot to start your parking session, you have not paid and you risk an additional assessment: a mistake is not, according to the municipality, a reason for an exception. If you forget to stop instead, you cannot reclaim those costs from the municipality, because they go through your parking provider.
That is exactly why paying by the minute is convenient: with SimplePark you start your session as soon as you are parked and you stop it when you drive off, so you never pay too much or too little.
