Where to park in Vlaardingen
Paid parking applies in and around Vlaardingen city centre. You have two choices there: the street, where you pay at the meter or with a parking app, or one of the car parks. Those car parks are not managed by the municipality but by APCOA Parking, so the opening hours and rates of those are on that operator's site and not on the municipal page.
One spot falls outside ordinary paid parking: Van Leydenshof. Only cars with a permit stand there. A parking ticket or a registration via an app does not help you there: those spaces are simply not available for visitors. If you come into the centre without planning, watch the signs before you put your car down.
Until when you pay
On-street you pay from Monday to Saturday between 9.00 and 19.00. Outside those hours and on Sunday your car stands free. The same applies to a list of public holidays the municipality sets each year, including New Year's Day, King's Day, Ascension Day and both Christmas Days.
If you yourself live in the paid-parking area, there is still the Visiteregeling Parkeren Vlaardingen: via a web app you register your visitors, who then stand free for a number of hours per quarter. A parking session never runs longer than from 9.00 to 19.00 on the same day; for the next day you register your visitors again.
Paying on-street
At the meter you settle with the usual means of payment, but you can also pay via your phone. Mind the starting rate: every parking session starts with € 0.10, after that the counter runs up to a maximum of € 12.50 on one day. With SimplePark you start the session as soon as you stand still and stop it when you drive off, so you pay per minute and do not have to estimate in advance how long you will stay in the city.
