Parking in Maastricht
Do you plan on driving to Maastricht University (UM) with your own car and need a place to park? UM and Gemeente Maastricht have several parking options for you.
Parking in Randwyck
As a UM student you can park for free in Randwyck, but keep in mind that the parking lot can be full. The UM has a large parking lot at Sorbonnelaan, where you can park free of charge with your UM card, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. However, full is full, and if the parking lot is full you cannot gain access and there is therefore no guarantee of a spot.
Free city parking at Maastricht Noord P+R
You can also park for free at the car park (Park + Ride) at Maastricht Noord, near the A79 (Aachen-Maastricht) motorway exit. Parking is free of charge for anyone 24/7. A bus departs from the lot to the city centre every 15 minutes.
Living in Maastricht with a car
If you live and study in Maastricht, you can apply for a residents parking permit from Gemeente Maastricht. This permit entitles you to park your car in the zone in which you live. Prices depend on how far away from Maastricht’s city centre you live.
Driving to UM from abroad several days a week
If you drive from your home abroad to Maastricht several days a week for your studies, you can buy a parking permit for foreign students from Gemeente Maastricht.
The foreign student parking permit entitles you to park in one of the following parking zones:
- Brusselsepoort
- Villapark-St.Pieter-Jekerdal
- Mariaberg
For 2024, the cost is €6.60 per month (plus a one-time administration fee of €21.95).
