Parking discounts

If you travel by train on the same day, you can park cheaply at paid Park and Ride (P+R) sites. You will receive a daily discount on parking and pay a maximum of € 9 per day.

This discount applies only if you travel by train within the Netherlands using an OV-chipkaart, OV-pas, NS-Business Card or e-ticket. On the day you leave, check in and out at a domestic station.

If you travel using your payment card, you will not receive a discount.

Parking regularly at the same site

Do you park regularly at the same Park and Ride (P+R) site? Apply for a parking subscription with Q-Park. It is convenient and much cheaper if you park frequently. Also:

  • You are guaranteed a parking space.
  • You can drive out straight away because we recognise your registration number.
  • You will save money if you park at the same site three times a week or more.
