Every neighbourhood its own rate
The Hague has no city-wide rate but dozens of rate areas, each with its own code, own hours and own price. The base rate in the residential neighbourhoods is € 2.75 per hour. In the core shopping streets of the centre and on Strandweg in Scheveningen you pay € 7.15 per hour, and in between sits for example Rivierenbuurt and Stationsbuurt at € 4.95. Where you stand therefore makes a real difference; the municipality charges higher rates where it is extra busy.
The hours also vary widely. In many residential neighbourhoods you only pay in the evening, from 18.00 to 24.00. In the centre it starts at 09.00 and on Friday and Saturday night it runs through until 02.00. In Scheveningen wider hours apply in the summer season than in winter. Always look first at the municipality's parking map: there you search by street, neighbourhood or district and see the zone code with the matching rules.
Day rate and registration duration
Two things stand out in The Hague. The first is the progressive day rate in the centre and at Scheveningen: it rises from € 0.00 to a maximum of € 50.00, so that a full day in the city centre is deliberately expensive. The second is the maximum registration duration. In the core shopping streets you can register for at most 120 minutes per parking session, and in some zones even shorter. That limit is there to keep spaces turning over.
If you do not want to park in the expensive zones, the Park and Ride sites in and around the city are the alternative; from there you continue by public transport. The municipality has announced that from 1 April 2026 new parking rates apply at various places in the city.
Scan vehicles and the app
The Hague checks with scan vehicles that read licence plates. Forgetting to register therefore shows up quickly, and that becomes an additional assessment. Also watch out for fake QR codes on parking meters in Scheveningen: the municipality does not use QR codes to pay.
With SimplePark you start your parking session as soon as you stop and you stop it when you drive off, and you pay by the minute. In a city where the rates and the hours differ per street, that is a lot calmer than estimating in advance how long you will stay.
