How to Use This Parking Cost Map

Enter a place or city and a search radius, then click Search Place to load car parks from OpenStreetMap in that area. Search Current Map instead loads results around wherever you've panned or zoomed to. Use "Paid parking only" or "Free parking only" to narrow results — leave both unchecked to see everything, including locations where fee status is unknown.

About the Data

Fee information comes from OpenStreetMap tags, not live pricing feeds, so it shows whether a car park is generally paid or free rather than a current rate. Locations without a fee tag show as "Fee unknown" — that doesn't mean the car park is free, only that its pricing hasn't been recorded in the map data.

"Free" Often Still Has a Catch

A spot showing as free parking on this map isn't necessarily unrestricted. Many free zones enforce a maximum stay instead of a fee, using a visible parking disc showing your arrival time — a system commonly known in the Netherlands as a "blauwe zone." Overstaying the posted limit can still result in a fine even though no price was ever charged, so it's worth checking local signage for a time limit rather than assuming "free" means "unlimited."

FAQ

Does this show current parking rates?

No, only whether a location is generally paid or free. Check the car park's own signage or app for current rates.

What does "fee unknown" mean?

It means OpenStreetMap doesn't have fee information tagged for that location — it's not necessarily free, just unrecorded.

Does this show real-time space availability?

No, this map shows locations only, not live occupancy or available spaces.

Does "free" parking mean I can leave the car there as long as I want?

Not necessarily. Plenty of free parking areas enforce a maximum stay through a time-limited zone requiring a visible parking disc, rather than charging a fee — a common setup in Dutch town centers (a "blauwe zone"). No listed price doesn't mean no rules, so check local signage for a time limit even when a spot shows as free here.
