Visitor parking downtown
The visitor scheme parking downtown means that as a downtown household you will receive 70 free visitor hours per year. The visitor scheme allows you (based on license plate number) to easily sign your visit in and out digitally via an app on your cell phone.
On Jan. 1, 2024, the 2023 visitor rule expires. The remaining hours not used by you will thus expire. Do you want to use the visitor scheme in 2024? Then apply for it on time.
What do you need to know?
- The visitor scheme is operated on behalf of the municipality by Parkeerservice Zoetermeer.
- You apply for the visitor scheme for the period of 1 year.
- Even if you already used the scheme in previous years, you must reapply for this scheme every year starting in 2023.
- The visitor scheme entitles you to 70 hours of parking per year. It is not possible to request more hours.
- Remaining hours expire at the end of the year. You cannot carry them over to the next year.
Conditions for using the visitor scheme
You must meet the following conditions to qualify for a visitor's allowance:
- You are registered at an address in the downtown paid parking area.
- Even if you do not have a car of your own, you can apply for the visitor scheme.
- A maximum of 1 visitor regulation will be issued per address.
Where can your visitors park?
Your visitor may park in the paid parking lots (not in a parking garage) in the center of Zoetermeer.
Caution! Your visitors may not park in the paid parking lots at the Center West bus station. In the barrier-enclosed parking lots, please allow your visitors to park only when they are open to shoppers.
Day ticket
If your visitor parks for more than 4.38 hours, they can park for free for the rest of the day. A maximum of 4.38 hours will then be deducted from your parking hours.
Parking permit
A parking permit is separate from the visitors' scheme. However, you can apply for both at the same time at Parkeerservice Zoetermeer.
