Usually free, except at the busy spots
Vijfheerenlanden is a municipality where in most streets you simply put your car down and walk on. Only at the busy spots is parking regulated, and then in three ways: paid parking, a blue zone, or parking for permit holders. Those spots lie in the two largest towns, Leerdam and Vianen, and the approach differs per core.
In Leerdam you can stand free right by the centre on two large car parks: Voorwaartsveld and the car park next to the NS station. In Vianen there are three: P1 Kanaalweg, P2 Sluiseiland and P3 Zomerdijk. For anyone staying longer, that is almost always the handiest choice.
Paid parking in Leerdam
Paid parking sits in Leerdam city centre and there is a maximum parking duration with it that differs per street. On Vrijheidsstraat and Ambtsplein you may stay a maximum of 12 hours, on Oranje Nassaulaan Noord 4 hours, and on Oranjeplein, Markthof, Meent-Westzijde, Bolwerk and Oranje Nassaulaan Zuid 2 hours. The hours are the same everywhere: from Monday to Saturday from 9:30 to 18:00, and on Friday until 21:00 because of late-night shopping.
The municipality does not publish an hourly rate on its parking page; what you pay you read on the pay meter or in your parking app. If a meter does not work, you can report that day and night to the supplier's service desk.
Blue zones and enforcement
On the spots right by the shops a blue zone applies instead of paid parking, where you stand free provided you use a parking disc. In Leerdam that is Kerkstraat and Vlietskant, with a maximum of 1 hour. In Vianen city centre and on the Lijnbaan you may stay with the disc a maximum of 1.5 hours. If you have a European disabled parking card, you may stand on a paid-parking spot without a ticket; you then do set a parking disc and stay a maximum of three hours.
The municipality enforces in a targeted way where the nuisance is greatest. Not paying costs € 82.00 in 2026; illegal parking starts at € 120.00 plus € 9.00 administration costs. If you stand on a spot where you have to pay, you do not have to go to the meter: with SimplePark you start the session as soon as you stand still and stop it when you drive off, and you pay per minute.
