Parking in Park and Rides near the Paris outskirts

Driving into central Paris means navigating congestion, expensive central parking and strict low-emission zone rules. The smarter option is to leave your car at a Park and Ride (P+R) car park on the outskirts of Paris and travel the rest of the way by metro, RER or tram. Parclick lets you compare and book P+R car parks around Paris from as little as 5 € per day — guaranteed spot, no searching on arrival.

Park and Ride vs central Paris parking — what's the difference?

Central Paris car parks cost between 23 and 45 € per day depending on the arrondissement. P+R car parks on the outskirts or in the inner suburbs cost between 5 and 15 € per day. The trade-off is a short metro or RER journey — typically 15 to 30 minutes to reach the city centre. For stays longer than a few hours, the saving is significant.

Car parks just inside the Périphérique — closest to central Paris

If you want to avoid long metro journeys but still skip the congestion charge zone and expensive central parking, these car parks sit just inside or at the entrance of the ring road:

• Porte des Lilas — served by metro lines 3b and 11. Quick access to the Marais and République.

Is Park and Ride in Paris free?

Most P+R car parks in the Paris region charge a daily fee — typically between 5 and 15 € per day. They are not free, but they cost significantly less than parking in central Paris (23–45 € per day). Some municipal P+R locations outside the ring road offer reduced rates when combined with a valid public transport ticket, but this varies by operator.

Frequently asked questions about Park and Ride in Paris

What is Park and Ride in Paris?

Park and Ride (P+R) means parking your car at a car park on the outskirts of Paris and continuing your journey into the city centre by public transport — metro, RER or tram.

Most P+R car parks in the Parclick network are within a 30-minute metro or RER journey of central Paris.

Parclick offers P+R car parks from all directions around Paris: north (Asnières, La Courneuve), south (Châtillon, Orsay), east (Aulnay-sous-Bois, Val d'Europe, Vaires-Torcy) and west (Chatou, La Défense).
