Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to park?

If you are travelling to Terschelling or Vlieland soon, it is best to park your car in the long-term car parks P1/P2/P3 (also known as 'Tsjerk Hides') on Harlingerstraatweg. Will you be sailing with the Bruine Vloot soon? The best place to park your car is at Westerzeedijk. If you are travelling to Harlingen to visit our port city, the best place to park your car is in the Waddenpromenade multi-storey car park or at one of our short-term parking locations.

Can I book in advance?

Pre-booking is recommended for island parking. Please book online so that you are assured of a parking space for your car. Your booking is based on your registration number, so all you will need to do is park your car. Have you not made a reservation or are you unable to make a reservation? Don't worry, there is always plenty of parking. Have you decided to stay a little longer on the islands or in Harlingen? Simply pay the difference when you leave. Book your parking space online here.

Please note: parking in the car park for passengers of the Bruine Vloot is only possible with a reservation in advance. Pre-booking for parking in the parkin garage Waddenpromenade is not available.
