SimplePark knows all 20 parking zones of Texel: start your parking action in the app and stop it when you leave. In Albert Heijn car park, Den Burg you can stay up to 60 minutes with a parking disc. The municipality checks with a scan car, so your license plate has to be right. The rates come from the municipality and were checked on October 24, 2026. With SimplePark you start and stop the parking action in the app. We charge €0.29 per parking action and €0.29 per top-up or direct debit.
Parking on Texel works with a vignette
On Texel almost all paid parking is arranged through one pass: the Texelvignet. That is not a sticker but a digital parking right on your license plate, and it applies on all spots with paid parking: at the beach access points and in all villages. You choose a day, week or year ticket, matched to how long you stay. If you only come briefly, you do not need to buy anything: at the meter or in a parking app you pay per hour.
Work out in advance what is smarter. If you spend an afternoon at the beach, paying per hour is fine; if you stay a week on the island, a week or year ticket is the more relaxed choice. Do note that the vignette is tied to one license plate and cannot be transferred to another car. Anyone coming with a hire car or a new car therefore buys a new vignette.
Blue zones in Den Burg and De Koog
At the busiest spots in Den Burg and De Koog a blue zone applies instead of paid parking. There you park for free, but only briefly and only with a parking disc set to your arrival time. The maximum time differs per spot: at Parkstraat and the first four spaces on Burgwal that is half an hour, at the supermarket sites one or 2 hours. The zones apply every day between 8.00 and 20.00 and are marked with signs and blue stripes.
Paying and enforcement
At the meters you can only pay by debit card or credit card: cash does not work. And not everywhere on the island is there a meter. Paying with your phone is therefore often easier: across Texel zone code 29511 applies. With SimplePark you start the parking action as soon as you have parked and you stop it when you drive off, so you only pay the minutes you were actually there. Enforcement officers drive past and scan license plates; if you have no valid parking right, you get a parking fine (naheffingsaanslag). With a European disabled parking badge you park free on Texel; the municipality confirms that exemption per year, so check it if you visit in a later year.
