Like motorists, two-wheel users will have to pay for parking in Paris. And the bill will generally be hefty.
Which vehicles are concerned?
All motorized two-wheelers and three-wheelers using internal combustion engines are affected, regardless of the model or year of circulation. However, electric vehicles continue to benefit from free parking.
What are the rates?
Variable depending on the district, the cost of parking a two-wheeler is half the rate charged to car drivers. You will need to pay €3 per hour in zone 1, and €2 per hour in zone 2. The Paris city hall states that “the fee can be divided into 15-minute increments”. Beyond 2 hours, the hourly rate increases significantly.
Similar to what has been implemented for cars, parking for two-wheelers remains free on Sundays, during weekdays from 8 pm to 9 am, and on public holidays.
| Zone 1 (1st to 11th arrondissement) | Zone 2 (12th to 20th arrondissement + Bois) | |
| 1h | €3 | €2 |
| 2h | €6 | €4 |
| 3h | €12 | €8 |
| 4h | €19.50 | €13 |
| 5h | €28.50 | €19 |
| 6h | €37.50 | €25 |
Parisians can benefit from a resident rate at a lower cost, provided they do not already hold one for another vehicle. They must subscribe to one of the following two plans:
– 3 years / €45
– 1 year / €22.50
Even when opting for a resident subscription, a regular fee must still be paid. It amounts to €0.75 per day, or €4.50 per week (maximum duration allowed).
How is payment made?
Parking fees can be paid either at a parking meter or via one of the three apps: PayByPhone, Parknow, or Flowbird.
What is the fine amount?
Offenders face a fine of €37.50 in zone 1, and €25 in zone 2. The Paris city hall has stated that enforcement will begin from the very first day.
What alternative solutions are available?
The Paris city hall and parking operators have created a Pass 2RM, which allows parking in an underground lot at a more favorable rate.
The subscription is only valid in the parking lot previously selected by the user (with no residency condition). The cost varies depending on the subscription duration and the parking zone.
If linked to a reference parking lot, the 2RM pass also offers preferential hourly rates in other partner parking lots of this initiative.
| Parking in zone 1 (1st to 11th arrondissement) | Parking in zone 2 (12th to 20th arrondissement + Bois) | |
| Reference parking subscription | €90 / month €256 / quarter €990 / year | €70 / month €199 / quarter €770 / year |
| Hourly rate in other network parking lots with the pass 2RM | €1.20 / h | €0.80 / h |
The list of parking lots accepting the 2RM pass can be found here.
What procedures are required?
Resident rate subscriptions have been available since June 27. The procedures are handled on this site. Be aware that the city hall is having trouble managing the influx of requests. The current digital processing time is about ten days.
To obtain the 2RM Pass, you need to contact directly the operator of the parking lot of your choice.
