Car Parking in Montpellier
Montpellier is a young, fast-growing city with a tram network that actively discourages driving into the centre. Large parts of the inner city are restricted or pedestrianised. Park and Ride sites on the tram lines are the practical choice for most visitors. Cheap flat rates and frequent connections make them genuinely convenient. If you need to park closer, several garages cover the areas just outside the pedestrian zone. Below you'll find the best options and current rates.
Street parking in Montpellier
Central street parking in Montpellier is paid during the day from Monday to Saturday. This works well for shorter visits, but it is not the easiest setup if you plan to spend a full day in town.
The centre is much easier to manage if you already decide before arrival whether you want to stay central or leave the car outside the core area.
Street parking in Montpellier is mainly useful for shorter visits
If you want a longer day in the city, P+Tram is usually the easier choice.
Cheap car parking in Montpellier: how to do it
The clearest low-stress option is P+Tram. Montpellier has a large network of relay sites connected to the tram system, which makes it easy to leave the car outside the centre and finish the trip by public transport.
This is one of the main reasons Montpellier is relatively easy to handle by car compared with other large French city centres.
