Park for free and continue your journey by shared bike or scooter

Temporarily out of service

P+R Blijdorp

Currently, you cannot park for free at the Blijdorp P+R if you continue your journey using shared transportation. When you try to “claim” the discount in the Gaiyo app, you’ll receive an error message. As a result, the parking charges remain in the app, and you cannot leave the P+R lot for free. We’re working on a solution. We apologize for the inconvenience.
