Are you thinking about coming to Paris? More importantly - are you thinking about driving and parking in Paris? Whether you’re coming here for a getaway, or you have recently moved to Paris, we will give you all the best car park tips and options! So, before you go and visit the beautiful Eiffel Tower, explore the winding streets of Montmartre or enjoy a romantic stroll down the banks of the Seine, make sure you read this article we have prepared for you, to ensure there are no unpleasant parking surprises in this spectacular city.

Important Information about Driving in Paris

Perhaps one of the most important pieces of information you should know before driving in Paris is the environmental traffic restrictions and how you can drive around Paris without getting a fine. Under the Paris ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) scheme, you have to get a Crit’Air sticker in order to drive in Paris. If you need to drive around Paris and you don’t have a sticker, order one and keep the receipt in case you are questioned.There are also sometimes car-free days which are promoted by the city council around September time. Events can also take place, such as the Paris Marathon, which can close off certain areas of the city to cars. It is therefore essential that you look up possible current restrictions which could affect your trip. If these restrictions worry you, or you would prefer not to have to bother with a sticker, have a look at our Park and Ride Car Parks, which are car parks located on the outskirts of Paris near to public transport links. We will explain all of these options later in the article.

How much does it cost to park in Paris?

In Paris, there are two ways you can park your car - using on-street parking or using car parks. The advantages and disadvantages of both options can depend on the area you wish to park, so it is important you plan your parking ahead of your trip. On-street parking in Paris is relatively expensive compared to other European cities. On-street parking is divided into two price zones, the central zone which costs €4/hour to park and the outskirts, where on-street parking costs €2.40/hour. Parking tariffs apply between 9am and 8pm and you can pay for your on-street parking using the nearby parking meters or designated mobile phone apps. On-street parking is expensive and often hard to find and to make matters worse, it is often limited to only two hours if you haven’t got a residence permit. To save yourself the headache of finding parking, why not pre-book your parking space with Parclick? Booking in one of our car parks not only saves you time, but is often the same price or cheaper than on street parking. What’s more is that your car will be in the security of a car park, which avoids on-street parking problems such as vandalism, robbery and damage to your car.

Is there free parking in Paris?

One of the most obvious questions you probably have is how to park your car for free in Paris! We want to be transparent about how difficult parking for free can be in Paris, however it is by no means impossible! The best part of Paris to find free parking is in the Bois de Vincennes district, particularly around the Daumesnil Lake, Route de la Pleine and L’avenue du Bel Air. This free parking is handy, however it is located on the outskirts of Paris and if you are in Paris for a short time, it may be more convenient to park in other areas of Paris in order to be able to make the most out of your trip. Street parking in Paris is free on Sundays, however it can be incredibly limited and difficult to find. If you are looking for parking in a particular area, especially around the centre of the city, you are better off to prebook one of our many cheap car parks which are in excellent locations across Paris! This way, you can reserve your guaranteed parking space, at the best possible price, and completely forget about the stress of finding a parking space in Paris!

Does Paris have a Park and Ride?

We have the perfect solution to car restrictions, Crit’Air stickers and traffic nightmares in the centre of Paris. Many tourists and visitors that go to Paris choose to park in one of our car parks. These car parks are located on the outskirts of the city and are well connected to the centre via public transport. This is a cheap, convenient and safe way to park your car in Paris. We have low-cost park-and-ride facilities located in Marne-la-Vallée, Chatou and Orly. From these car parks, you will be able to get to any part of Paris quickly and easily by using public transport, particularly the metro and the RER.

Is parking free in August in Paris?

Unfortunately, although on-street parking in Paris used to be made free for the month of August, the Paris City Hall voted to abolish this and now normal parking rates apply across August. However, the perk continues for those who have a disabled parking badge or those with eco-friendly vehicles. Not to worry if you don’t have a badge or eco-friendly vehicle, you can find many affordable car parks with the Parclick app!
