The first hour is free
Valkenburg does something you would not immediately expect in a tourist town: the first hour of parking is free everywhere, on-street and in Aan de Kei car park. For an errand or a short walk through the center you therefore pay nothing. One thing you do have to do: register your license plate at the parking meter or via a parking app. Without registration the parking attendant cannot see that you fall within that free hour, and that still costs you a parking fine (naheffingsaanslag).
After that first hour it quickly gets more expensive the closer you park to the center. On Walramplein you pay € 4.00 per hour, in Koningswinkelstraat, on Neerhem Oost, Daalhemerweg, Berkelplein and Plenkertstraat € 3.00. On those spots there is no day rate, so a long stay adds up fast.
Park smart on the edge
If you stay longer, you are better off parking a little further from the center. Geulpark and Par'Course II are by far the cheapest at € 1.00 per hour and a maximum of € 6.00 per 24 hours. Odapark, Aan de Polfermolen, Par'Course I, Spoorlaan and Burgemeester Henssingel cost € 2.00 per hour with a maximum of € 12.00 per 24 hours, and that same daily maximum applies on Cauberg. In Aan de Kei car park you pay € 2.00 per hour with a maximum of € 16.00 per 24 hours.
The paid period differs per spot. Most sites charge daily from 10:00 to 22:00; Aan de Kei car park and Cauberg are paid 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Besides the municipal spots there are also De Valkenier, Q-Park's P+R Spoorlaan and Parking 't Centrum; those are managed by other parties and have their own rates. The municipal rate for Spoorlaan above therefore does not apply at P+R Spoorlaan.
License plate, enforcement and paying
Everything in Valkenburg turns on the license plate. At the meter you enter it, and in the low-traffic center a rising bollard reads it to let you through. On-street a parking attendant checks license plates, also during the free hour. With SimplePark you start the parking action as soon as you have parked and stop it when you drive off, so you pay for the time you are parked, in the municipality's own unit, and the free hour is properly registered against your license plate.
