Visiting Texel by car? Then buy a Texel Vignette to park carefree. You can buy this digital parking ticket quickly and simply online via smartphone, tablet or computer. Texel has paid parking in all villages and at the beaches. You pay € 2.50 per hour for a single ticket at the ticket machine (coins not possible). A Texel vignette costs €10 per day, €20 per week (valid for 8 days) or €30 for a year (valid for 365 days).

How it works

Enter your license plate number via www.texelvignet.nl/en , choose the desired parking duration and pay. Now you can park carefree anywhere on Texel. The enforcers will scan your license plate and see for which period you have purchased a Texel Vignette. Handy, isn't it? The vignette is a digital proof of parking, so you do not get a sticker, pass or card. The vignette can be purchased online via www.texelvignet.nl/en and also from the parking meters. You can pay online with credit card. Are you unable to purchase a parking vignette online? Then you can buy a ticket at a parking ticket machine on Texel.
