The following applies in Rotterdam:


You do not have to pay to use the general parking spaces for disabled people if you place your valid parking card for disabled people clearly visible behind the windscreen.
You cannot use the parking card for disabled people at regular parking places where paid parking applies. You owe parking fees here, even when the general parking space for disabled people is occupied. This also applies to vehicles for disabled people.
Interparking only offers regular paid parking places for everyone. We do try to create enough places that allow visitors in possession of an invalid card to park comfortably (Spacious places, close to the entrance and exit).
