Paid parking on the street

For paid parking in The Hague you can pay at all of the city’s parking meters using your bank card, credit card or mobile telephone. There are different rules for motorcycles.

More information on paying for parking with your mobile telephone can be found under Pay-by-phone parking in The Hague.

Number plate parking

At the parking meters you first type in your number plate. You then indicate how long you would like to park. You can pay safely using your bank card or credit card. Your PIN code is not required.

You no longer have to place a paper parking ticket behind your windscreen. However, you can get a receipt once you have paid. It will indicate the end time of your parking session.
