Street parking in Ceuta costs €0.70 per hour in the blue zone, with a two-hour limit, and is free on Sundays and public holidays. For longer stays, the four municipal underground car parks charge €1.64 per hour and €14.38 per day, and one seafront car park can be booked online from €20 per day. This guide covers the official 2026 tariffs, the car parks in the centre, parking at the port and the ferry to Algeciras.
Do you need a car? Not in Ceuta itself – it is a walking city. If you are flying to Málaga and driving down to the ferry, compare prices at Málaga Airport on DiscoverCars or read our car hire in Spain guide.
Ceuta is small: the centre sits on a narrow isthmus between the port and Monte Hacho, and the ferry terminal, the Royal Walls, Plaza de África and the main shopping street are within a 15-minute walk of each other. Parking is managed by the municipal company AMGEVICESA, which runs both the blue zone on the street and the public underground car parks. Its tariffs were last updated in January 2026.

Ceuta has a single regulated zone, marked with blue lines and signs at the meters. You pay Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00, and on Saturdays from 10:00 to 14:00. Sundays and public holidays are free, and so is the lunch break. The minimum ticket is €0.35 for 30 minutes; one hour costs €0.70, 90 minutes €1.00 and the two-hour maximum €1.30.
Meters take coins and bank cards, and you can also pay with the EasyPark app, which lets you stop or extend the ticket from your phone. If you overstay, the penalty notice can be cancelled at the meter within 24 hours: €4 if your ticket ran out, €8 if you had none.
Three car parks serve the centre: Gran Vía, Capitán Ramos (under Plaza de los Reyes) and Manzana del Revellín. A fourth, San José, is further west. All charge the same official rate. The operator does not publish opening hours or height limits online, so check the sign at the entrance if you drive a van.
Car park on the seafront promenade, Paseo de la Marina, a short walk from the port and from Plaza de África. It is the only car park in Ceuta that can be reserved in advance on Parclick.
The car park at the ferry terminal (Estación Marítima) is run by the concession holder Amova Ceuta. The first 15 minutes are free, which is enough to drop off or collect passengers. We could not find a published hourly or daily tariff, so check the board at the barrier before leaving a car for the day.
The crossing between Ceuta and Algeciras takes about one hour. DFDS (the former FRS route) runs up to 10 sailings a day and asks drivers to be at the port at least 90 minutes before departure; Armas Trasmediterránea and Baleària sail the same route. For a day trip from the mainland it is usually simpler to leave the car in Algeciras and cross on foot: everything in Ceuta is walkable. See our guide to parking in Algeciras.
The blue zone is free on Sundays, on public holidays, on Saturday afternoons and every evening after 20:00. Outside the blue zone, street parking is not regulated, but the centre is densely built and spaces are hard to find; the further you go towards Monte Hacho or the western districts, the easier it gets. We do not list specific free car parks because we could not confirm any from an official source.
