What Parking Will Cost

Every public car park in Leuven priced hour by hour from the city's own parking finder — night prices, the cheaper days, the free Sundays — sorted cheapest first for the time you're staying.

About these tools

Town Tools builds free, public tools for Leuven and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.

Every public car park the city lists, priced the way its own parking finder prices it — garage by garage, hour by hour, including the night prices and the cheaper days. Pick how long you are staying and the list sorts itself, cheapest first.

The short version: for an hour or two the open-air squares are cheapest; for a long stay, a randparking on the edge of the centre beats every central garage, and its ticket comes with a free bus ride for up to four people. Driving between the parts of the centre is a different question — see Driving into the Centre.
