Parking reservation and rental in Strasbourg

Key points: 16 Parcus underground car parks (Austerlitz, Gutenberg) and Indigo/Effia car parks open 24/7.

The city of Strasbourg has many on-street spaces as well as 16 underground car parks managed by Parcus. Here is the information you need to know about these car parks: 

These car parks can be used for long or short stays. For long stays, however, they are generally very expensive. For short stays, they will cost you between 2 and 3.50 euros.

You will also find a few car parks managed by EFFIA and INDIGO in the city of Strasbourg, in particular: 

• INDIGO Kléber - Homme de Fer
• INDIGO Gare Short-stay
• INDIGO Wodli
• INDIGO Hôpital Hautepierre
• EFFIA Strasbourg station Sainte-Aurélie

Key points : avoid public car parks and on-street parking (£3.50/hour in the red zone), prefer the outskirts or Yespark rental.

Car parks can quickly become expensive in Strasbourg. In general, INDIGO car parks are fairly pricey compared to Parcus car parks. If you want to save money, it's better to avoid them. On-street, in paid parking zones and during paid hours, the first hour is 3.50 €, which is also quite expensive.

To park at an affordable rate, it is therefore better to head for parking spaces on the outskirts. Alternatively, you can book a Yespark parking space. Yespark offers competitively priced spaces throughout the city of Strasbourg and the surrounding area! Yespark parking rental allows you to access your car park in 2 minutes!

Key points: free on the outskirts, in the city centre after 7pm and before 9am, on Sundays, public holidays, and 30 minutes in a park-and-ride.

To park for free in Strasbourg, you have several options: 

• park on the street outside the paid parking zones, i.e. on the outskirts;
• in the city centre outside paid parking hours: after 7pm and before 9am, on Sundays and public holidays;
• in park-and-ride facilities, the first 30 minutes are free.

Please note, parking remains payable in Strasbourg in August.

Key points : historic centre (Grande Île), Petite France, around the station and red/purple zones: very congested.

Historic city centre (Grande Île)

The medieval heart of Strasbourg, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is extremely congested. Public car parks such as Gutenberg or Kléber-Homme de Fer are often full, especially during peak hours or at weekends. The Cathédrale Notre-Dame and Place Kléber are particularly problematic due to heavy tourist traffic.

Petite France district

This picturesque neighbourhood, with its canals and half-timbered houses, attracts many visitors. Parking spaces are scarce, and the few car parks such as Centre historique Petite France charge high rates (12€ for 24h).

Around Strasbourg-Ville station

The area around Strasbourg station, particularly the Wodli car park, is in high demand. Rates here reach 20 € for 24h, and free areas require a 25-minute walk.

Rue des Juifs and shopping areas

This popular shopping street is surrounded by expensive car parks such as Gutenberg - Parcus. Free alternatives are a 15-minute walk away (e.g. Rue Jean Hultz).

European institutions area (European Parliament, Palais des Droits de l'Homme)

Although parking is free there, the proximity of the institutional buildings generates high demand, particularly during official events.

Red and purple zones

• Red zones (city centre): limited to 3 hours of parking with high rates (2.1€/h).
• Purple spaces: experimental since 2023, they limit parking to 1h30 with 35€ fines for overstaying. Examples: Rue du Temple Neuf, Place de la Gare.

Around the Palais Rohan

Nearby car parks such as Bateliers are often full during the day, forcing visitors to opt for cheaper but more distant areas (e.g. Krutenau).

Christmas market period

During the Strasbourg Christmas market, the city centre becomes almost inaccessible by car, with higher rates and tighter restrictions.

Key points: 10 park-and-ride facilities: 30 minutes free, then 4.20 €/day or 7.20 €/24h.

Key points: payable Monday to Saturday from 9am to 7pm, from 1 €/h (green zone) to 3.50 €/h (red zone).

On-street parking is payable from Monday to Saturday between 9am and 7pm. Rates rise sharply after a certain number of hours (3h30 in the green zone, 2h30 in the orange zone, 2h15 in the red zone). Below you will find the different rates applied in each parking zone: 

Since 2023, purple spaces have also been introduced to encourage vehicle turnover near shops. There are around 200 of them in Strasbourg. They are not included in resident and professional subscriptions. Here are the prices: 

• 1h : 1 €
• 1h15 to 1h30 : 2 €
• Overstay >1h30 or non-payment : post-parking fixed fee of 35 €.

• If the motorist has not exceeded the maximum parking time but has paid a portion of the fee, this will be deducted from the FPS amount. For example, 4.20 euros paid in the red zone for 2 hours of parking gives rise to a deduction from this amount in the case of a check within the following hour. Indeed, parking in the red zone is limited to 3 hours. Consequently, the post-parking fee is 17 euros - 4.20 euros = 12.80 euros if paid within 72 hours or 35 euros - 4.20 euros = 30.80 euros if paid beyond 3 days.
• If the check is carried out beyond the maximum authorised parking duration, the post-parking fee is 17 euros (payable within 3 days) or 35 euros (if paid after).

Key points: monthly packages from 15 € (solidarity rate) or 60 € (Résipark), sometimes with 1 free hour per day.
