Works across Europe. If you travel internationally, EasyPark is the only app you need. Slightly higher fees but maximum coverage and reliability. Available on iPhone and Android.
No service fee per session. Dutch favourite. Works at most on-street parking in all major cities. Slightly less intuitive but saves €0.20 per session vs EasyPark. Long-term saves €30+/year.
ANWB members get free access with no session fees. Also shows ANWB-approved parking garages with member discounts. Best if you're already an ANWB member.
Dutch parking is paid by the hour, but meters don't give change and round up to the nearest block. Parking apps charge per minute — so a 1h15min session costs 1h15min, not 2 hours.
On average, using an app vs meter saves €2-5 per parking session due to per-minute billing. For someone parking 3x per week, that's €300-700/year.
Register the number plate of your car correctly. Add credit card in advance. Most apps let you set a maximum time to avoid forgetting to stop — this can save you from fines too.
All major on-street parking zones in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Eindhoven accept EasyPark and Yellowbrick. Check the blue P-sign for which apps are accepted in that zone.
Blue parking disc zones (blauwe zone) do not accept payment apps. You need a physical parking disc (parkeerschijf), available free at most gas stations and ANWB shops.
Yes. EasyPark and Yellowbrick work in virtually every paid parking zone in the Netherlands. EasyPark also works abroad.
Most garages have their own ticket system or barrier. Apps are mainly for on-street parking. Some newer garages accept EasyPark — check the garage entry signs.
You keep getting charged until you stop. Set a maximum session time in the app settings as a safety net. Most apps let you set an alert when approaching your maximum.
Yes. EasyPark is a legitimate, widely-used app used by millions across Europe. It is accepted by municipalities and has proper payment security.
