Amsterdam has 11 Park & Ride locations around the city ring road A10 where you can park your vehicle for up to 96 hours at a discounted rate. You must use public transport to travel between the P+R and the city centre.
P+R Amsterdam parking rates (2024) are as follows:
- The off-peak rate is €6 per 24 hours for arrivals after 1000 Mon-Fri and anytime at weekends.
- The peak rate is €13 for first 24 hours for arrivals before 1000 Mon-Fri and thereafter €6 per 24 hours.
You can stay for a maximum of 4 days (96 hours) at all P+R locations in Amsterdam except P+R RAI (max 24 hours). If you stay longer than the maximum 4 day period then higher hourly parking charges will apply.
The P+R parking tariff is only based on travelling to the centre by public transport using an OV-chip card, a paper ticket or a special P+R GVB ticket at select locations.
Other types of ticket (barcode tickets, using debit cards via OVpay) cannot get the P+R discount.
How to use Amsterdam P+Rs
On arrival at the P+R you receive a parking ticket – you should not use a credit card at the parking entrance gate. Note that P+R ArenA has a dedicated P+R entrance; at P+R Bos en Lommer push the special P+R button; P+R RAI used number plate recognition, no tickets are issued.
Within 1 hour of arriving, you can purchase up to 5 special P+R GVB tickets at the blue P+R ticket machines at these P+Rs: Bos en Lommer, Johan Cruijff ArenA, Olympisch Stadion and RAI. The costs are as follows:
1 card (€6), 2 cards (€6), 3 cards (€7), 4 cards (€8.50), 5 cards (€9.50)
These P+R GVB tickets are valid for 1 hour each way for your outward and return journey between the P+R facility and central Amsterdam. They can only be used on GVB trams, metro and buses – they are not valid for travel on GVB night buses, NS trains or Connexxion bus services.
When you return to the P+R car park you should pay at the ticket machine by entering your parking ticket (or vehicle registration) and scanning your transport card – this is to ensure that you have complied with the travel terms and that you indeed qualify for the P+R parking rate.
Payment can be made by debit and credit cards (Mastercard/Visa) and must be made within 1 hour of checking out of your public transport journey.
Directions to the Park & Rides are clearly marked on the A10.

In addition, be aware of any major events happening at either the ArenA/Ziggo Dome, Olympic Stadium or RAI will mean the respective P+R there is closed that day.
There are similar P+R parking schemes in place at cities all over the Netherlands.
