Car Parking in Toulouse

Toulouse is a large, busy city and the centre gets congested during the week. Street parking close to the Capitole is limited and paid zones cover most of the inner city. Several garages cover the central neighbourhoods and rates are reasonable. The metro network is good, so parking on the outskirts and taking public transport in is a practical option for longer visits. Below you'll find the best options and current rates.

Street parking in Toulouse

Toulouse uses several on-street parking logics depending on whether the area is more central, more commercial or meant for medium-duration stays. That means the street can work, but it is not always the simplest option if you want to spend a full day in town.

For shorter stops, central street parking can still make sense. For a longer visit, Toulouse itself points people clearly towards P+R.

For a longer city visit, P+R is usually the easiest option. Toulouse says these relay car parks are directly connected to the metro, tram or bus network and are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Tisséo also makes clear that the relay system is designed first and foremost for transport users. That is why it works best when you really do continue into the city by public transport.

P+R parking in Toulouse

The relay system is one of the clearest parking tools in Toulouse. If you are coming from outside the centre and do not need the car once you are in town, it usually gives the cleanest route into the city.

That is why it is often the first option worth checking before you even look at central street parking.
