Parking in Holwert
There are two parking lots in Holwert. Parking lot P1 is located at the terminal. This car park is open seven days a week from 5:30 am to 9:00 pm. When P1 is full, you will be directed to P2, approximately 2.5 kilometers from the terminal.
Our parking system is ticketless, so you will not receive a paper parking ticket. You can enter by presenting your debit or credit card at the entry column. This can also be done contactless.
When you exit, the system recognizes your license plate, causing the barrier to open. If you have chosen to pay at the barrier, you must first scan your bank card with which you entered at the barrier.
PIN
You can pay with your PIN and credit card at all payment terminals and the exits of P1 and P2.
Cash
This is only possible at the payment machine in the P1 car park next to the parking attendants building.
Online / iDEAL
From this year you can also easily pay for your parking ticket online.
Would you like a receipt?
This is only possible at one of the payment terminals, not at the exit itself. Immediately after payment, press the 'Print receipt' button on the display to print a receipt.
Immediately after arrival
Upon arrival, you can pay immediately after parking at one of the payment machines. This is possible for the day itself, but also for a maximum of 7 days in advance (longer parking is also possible, pay on departure). Upon departure, you can drive straight to the exit and the barrier will open for you using license plate recognition.
On departure
On the day of departure, you can pay at one of the payment machines and then drive out using license plate recognition. Forgot to pay and are you already in line at the exit? No problem, you can also pay with PIN at the exit itself.
Tip: Are you coming to Ameland for a day? Then pay immediately at the payment machine while waiting for the boat. You can drive straight to the exit at the end of the day.
AMELAND:
- Payment terminal in the passenger terminal (waiting area), next to the coffee machine. Handy when you are waiting for the boat.
HOLWERT:
- Payment machine next to the Land & Zeezicht restaurant
- Payment machine in car park P1, next to the parking attendants building (car park entrance).
- Payment machine in the P2 car park (in the wooden roof).
- At the barrier when you exit.
You entered with a bank card, but want to leave with a different bank card? This is possible by first paying at a payment terminal.
You can search here by license plate and then pay with any debit card, credit card or cash. Exiting can then be done based on license plate recognition. If you want to pay by debit or credit card, you can also drive straight to the exit (barrier) and pay there. The amount to be paid is determined there based on the license plate number.
Good to know
- When car park P1 is full. On busy days, please note that P1 may be full and you will be referred to P2. It will then take you longer to get to the terminal. Busy days are the travel days around the holidays, public holidays, weekends and the summer period. You can use the Wagenborg shuttle bus (coach) that runs between P2 and the terminal. Don't see a shuttle bus on your return journey? Then you can report to the parking attendants' counter at P1.
- Parking campers and trailers. The parking lot has a limited number of parking spaces for campers and trailers. On busy days, these parking spaces are quickly occupied. It may happen that there is no longer a place available when you arrive. Unfortunately, it is not possible to reserve a spot in advance. Keep this in mind if you want to park your camper or trailer in Holwerd.
- You pay per calendar day or part thereof (from 00:00 to 24:00), and for a continuous parking period.
- If you park twice in one day, you will be charged for one calendar day per parking session. The above applies to all subsequent days.
- Please note: the parking lots are unguarded. Parking is at your own risk!
- The parking rate can be found on the rates page.
- It is currently not possible to order your parking ticket online.
Charging your electric car
Are you travelling to Holwert by electric car? You now have the opportunity to charge your car while you are on Ameland, so that your battery will be fully charged again for your trip back home. You can use your regular EV charge card. Don't have a charging card? Scan the QR-code on the side of the charging station. You can then download the Charging Station App (App Store and Google Play). Keep your credit or debit card handy. Reservation is not required.
- If one of the charging stations is free, you can simply connect your car.
- The start rate is €1.75, followed by the market rate per kWh.
- You can use your regular EV charge card, and there is no maximum charging time.
- No need to worry about charging time; you pay per kWh.
- In addition to the charging costs, you also pay the regular parking fee of €7.50 per day.
- Please take into account that we cannot guarantee there are free charging stations when you arrive at Holwert.
