Finding parking near Pastoor Dergentplein, Aarschot
Parking Pastoor Dergentplein in Aarschot usually comes down to one thing: using the correct street parking zone and staying within the time limit shown on the signs. Aarschot works with paid parking, blue-disc parking and free legal bays—so before you leave the car, check the zone markings on the street.
Zone check first: paid parking, blue zone and free bays
On-street parking around Pastoor Dergentplein follows Aarschot’s zone system. If you’re not sure what you’ve got, look for the signs before you park.
| Parking type | When it applies | What you need | Max stay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paying zone (paid parking) | Daily 9:00–18:00 (except Sundays/public holidays and 11 July) | Ticket from the parking machine | As shown by your ticket |
| Blue zone | Daily 9:00–18:00 (except Sundays/public holidays and 11 July) | Blue parking disc | Up to 3 hours |
| Free parking (where legal) | When bays are marked as free legal parking | None (just follow the bay markings) | No general time limit unless the sign says otherwise |
If you keep hitting time limits or full bays, it’s still worth checking Mobypark for any future availability for your dates—just use the search box above to see what appears later.
Blue zone rules (and a key exception to watch)
The blue zone in Aarschot is generally enforced 9:00–18:00 daily (not on Sundays/public holidays and not on 11 July). You may park for up to 3 hours and must display a blue parking disc.
One practical exception: in the blue zone at Parking Demervallei, a residents’ card is not valid. In that case you should still use the blue disc.
Paying zone help: free quarter and free hour around school finish
Even in the paying zone, there are short free allowances. Drivers can take a free 15-minute period at any time in the paying zone by using the green button on the parking machine.
There is also a free parking hour after school end in the paying zone on specific days: Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri: 15:00–16:00; Wed: 11:30–12:30. The free hour is for the time window when the school day finishes.
Short-stay options with sensor parking (no ticket, no disc)
If you’re just stopping briefly, Aarschot has sensor-controlled short-stay spaces (including places on the Grote Markt and short-stay spaces near the station). These are designed for very short stays: maximum 30 minutes.
- You usually don’t need a parking ticket or blue disc on sensor spots.
- If you overstay beyond 30 minutes, you risk a €25 retribution fine.
- A municipal parking card and a disabled parking card are not valid as proof on these sensor places.
Station car parks: when overnight and weekend parking is free
For drivers heading to the station area, Aarschot also has NMBS B-parkings behind the station and at the front-left side (both are barrier-controlled). NMBS sets the parking tariffs, but the key driver-friendly detail is that both station car parks are generally free from 19:00 to 07:00 and also free on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
As with many station areas, there can be exceptions during certain major events—so if you’re arriving on a busy date, double-check the local signage and notices on arrival.
Temporary restrictions can change day to day
Along Pastoor Dergentlaan and nearby streets, parking can be affected by temporary measures for works or deliveries (for example, local parking bans and traffic changes during specific time windows). Always look out for temporary signs on the street immediately before you park, and don’t rely only on the general zone hours.
