Door 24 uur per dag en 7 dagen per week open te zijn, kunnen wij zowel forenzen als bewoners van de binnenstad onze diensten aanbieden. Bij Parking de Hoofdstad werken wij volgens het valet parking principe. Dit betekend dat uw auto kundig door het personeel wordt geparkeerd en klaargezet bij vertrek.

Headed into town? This is a GREAT spot! If you take the rail in and keep your recipe, parking is…read morecheap ALL day. There are two lots, one right next to the train (Zeeburg I) and another across the street (Zeeburg II). The rate only applies if you are going into the city. The ride into town is short, so even if you're standing it won't be bad. Ample parking (I was in lot 2). There is no staff at lot 2 and at lot 1 the staff won't be there after hours. But there are kiosks that will display in English. How do you get the great rate and avoid paying 24 euro's for the day? At the kiosk get a P+R GVB card. You have to buy it within 1 hour of parking. Before you get on the train use that same card to get back to the lot. This is very important. I bought another "all day" card for the trams in the city. If I had used that card to get back to my car I wouldn't have received the lower rate. The kiosk will check to your last "check-in", which should be in the city. If you make a stop on your way back to your car outside of the city, you won't get the rate. Pay within 1 hour of returning It can be a little complicated, but if you follow the directions above you won't pay more than 8 euro's for the day, maybe less!

With all that it's still a landmark in a way. Whenever my flight is near the city I can easily see where my home is based on this monstrosity. Underneath is the Waterkant bar and also a bus stop for the Connexion buses. It's not cheap to park here, nearly 500€ per month on the monthly program.

Q-Park Museumplein is in a very good location, designed to serve nearby museums including the Van…read moreGogh Museum, Rijksmuseum and Stedelijk in Amsterdam, but comes at a huge premium. Parking rates are between € 1.60 - € 2.75 for every 15 minutes, so can generally cost between € 6.4 and € 11 per hour, which seemed crazy for me, even for such a good location, as the car park wasn't too clean and was unstaffed. The one positive about charging for 15 minutes at a time, rather than hourly, is you could end up paying less, if you just go over the time by a couple of minutes, but the rates are so expensive anyway, it feels like you won't be saving much at all. They have public toilets here, but they come at an additional cost whether you are using the car park or not. I can totally understand them wanting to make some money out of tourists not using the car park, and keeping them out of the toilets, but if you're using the car park, you're basically paying twice. I did use the toilets and was unimpressed at having to pay € 1 to enter a dirty toilet, which was cash-only, to make matters worse they only had freezing cold running water, it felt like washing my hands with a bunch of ice cubes! 2* - Straight-forward and easy-to-follow car-park in a good location, but high prices, poor cleanliness and lack of staff pretty much make it an advertisement to use public transit.

We waited about half an hour and were still three cars back when we decided we'd rather pay 22 euros a day for street parking in front of our hotel. Who knows when the next 4 cars would leave allowing us to park. In 90 degree heat, I'll take convenience over price. If you do decide to wait, they apparently give you tickets for the bus/tram/train to get you to your destination in the centrum. Sounds like a great concept when the lot isn't full. We didn't get so lucky this time.
