Formalities
Parking permits in Brussels.
In most Brussels streets, a removal truck won’t find space without a reservation. A parking permit keeps the space in front of your door free on moving day.
Why it matters
Without a reserved space, the truck parks further away: carrying takes longer, the move takes more time and therefore costs more. A well-placed truck also means less risk for your furniture.
How to apply
You apply to the municipality where the truck will park: at departure, and at arrival if it is also in Brussels. Each municipality has its own procedure (online form, email or counter), lead times and fees. No-parking signs are then put up in advance so the street is clear on moving day.
Our tips
- Apply as soon as the date is confirmed: some municipalities need several weeks.
- Specify the length to reserve: we give it to you during the visit, depending on the truck planned.
- Remember both addresses if you are moving from one Brussels municipality to another.
- Keep the permit to hand on moving day.
During the visit, our advisor tells you how many metres to reserve in your municipality.
