To make optimal use of the available parking spaces in the city, Stadstoezicht – under the authority of the City of Amsterdam – sees to a strict compliance of the parking rules. If the employees of Stadstoezicht cannot detect a valid parking ticket behind your windscreen, you will receive a fine and a wheel clamp on your car so as to ensure payment. Incorrectly parked cars that form an obstacle to the other traffic, are even towed.

Wheel clamp removal
What to do to remove a wheel clamp? You can pay the fine (approximately € 70.00) in two ways:
- at your car with a credit card or Dutch debit card. Call Stadstoezicht Amsterdam. A Pay-and-Go car of Stadstoezicht will then be dispatched to your car, after which you can pay your fine.
- pay in cash at one of the service points of Stadstoezicht. The wheel clamp is removed within half an hour after payment.
Do not postpone payment too long; your car is towed after 24 hours. The costs involved are over € 150.-.
