Street parking
You can park your car in street parking zones with our app. You pay for the parking through your NS Flex season ticket.
How to park in a parking zone
Open the NS app and log into Mijn NS at the top right. Make sure that your OV-chipkaart is linked to it, with your NS Flex season ticket on it.
Then search for a parking zone:
- Select 'Map' at the bottom of your screen.
- Tap the parking zone in which you are parked, and proceed through the steps.
- You will need to add your car registration number the first time.
Then start the parking time; you will see the counter in the app start to run.
Don't see your parking zone listed? Then parking with the NS app is not possible here. In that case, you should pay for parking yourself at the parking machine.
Leaving the parking zone
In the app, go to 'Nearby' and tap on the parking notification at the bottom of your screen. You can immediately stop the parking timer and drive away.
Parking fees
The price of parking varies for each parking zone. The hourly parking fee for each parking zone is displayed in our app.
In addition to this, you also pay a €0.25 parking transaction fee. This is a fixed fee that you pay each time you park.
How do I pay for parking?
We debit all parking fees under € 25 from your account each month. At the same time as the cost of your NS Flex season ticket. Do you have to pay more than € 25? Then we will debit the amount from your account immediately.
You can find an overview of the costs in the travel history section of Mijn NS.
Don't have the NS app yet?
You will need the app in order to park. Download our app, log in with your Mijn NS account, and park your car right away.
You can also find out about all of the other features available in the NS app, such as receiving notifications about your journey, buying a ticket right away, or planning your bus journey.
