Free & cheap parking in Brussels

💡 The cheapest way

The cheapest sensible way to visit Brussels by car is a free P+R on a metro or tram line (Stalle, Delta, Herrmann-Debroux or Roodebeek) and a STIB ticket into the centre; a single costs €2.70 and paying contactless is capped at €8.50 a day. If you must park in the centre, Toison d'Or is the cheapest garage we found at €15 a day, and on Sundays and public holidays street parking in the Pentagon is not charged.

Ways to pay less

Use Pcard+ (free) at Interparking

Pcard+ is free to register and you only pay for what you use. Interparking says it gives reductions of up to 30% and evening flat rates at taking part car parks, applied automatically. At the central car parks we checked, the difference is about 10%. More info ↗

Evening, theatre and cinema rates

Several central car parks give a flat rate of €6–7.20 for 10 hours from 19:00, €6 with a validated theatre ticket (Ecuyer) or €3 for 3 hours with a cinema ticket (Toison d'Or). Good for an evening visit. More info ↗

Contactless fare capping on STIB

Paying with a bank card, one journey costs €2.40 and the daily total is capped at €8.50 (reached after four journeys). A paper single ticket costs €2.70. More info ↗

Pay by app so you only pay the minutes used

Street parking can be paid with apps such as EasyPark, 4411, Seety or Yellowbrick, or by SMS to 4411 (Belgian numbers only, €0.15 per message). The 4411 app adds €0.45 per ticket. More info ↗

Watch out

LEZ: the whole region, 24/7, fine €350

Foreign car: register it (free) or pay €150

Vehicles registered abroad (except Dutch plates) must be registered for free, valid for five years, before entering or within five days after. An unregistered foreign vehicle gets a €150 fine, even if it meets the standards. More info ↗
