Blue-zone and market car park prices come from the Molins de Rei fiscal ordinances for 2026 (VAT included). The ordinance gives prices to the tenth of a cent, and the meters round them to the nearest 5 cents, so expect to pay €0.40, €1.55 or €3.55. The hotel car park price is the Parclick “from” figure shown on 26 October 2026.
What parking costs in Molins de Rei
2026 municipal tariffs and the Parclick price, 26 October 2026
The blue zone covers the shopping streets of the centre. The 2026 tariffs are €0.40 for 15 minutes, €0.72 for 30 minutes, €1.53 for an hour, €2.41 for an hour and a half and €3.53 for two hours, which is the maximum. The council does not publish the blue-zone hours online, so check the times on the meter before you leave the car. If you get a ticket, the meter offers an option to cancel it for €5.94. Only zero-emission cars that pay vehicle tax in Molins de Rei park for free, so visitors always pay.
Molins de Rei has two car parks for stays longer than two hours. Only the hotel car park can be booked on Parclick.
Under the municipal market at Plaça del Mercat, a few minutes’ walk from the main shopping streets. Booking sites list it as SABA Plaça del Mercat. The council’s 2026 fiscal ordinance charges by the minute from the first minute: €0.04923 a minute, or about €2.95 an hour. A 24-hour monthly pass costs €137.15. We could not confirm the opening hours or height limit on an official page, so check the signs at the entrance.
Entrance at Passeig del Terraplè 79, by Avinguda de Caldes. Open 24 hours, covered, height limit 1.9 m. Parclick sells it from €8 for a day, with free cancellation up to one hour before arrival. It suits a day trip into Barcelona on the Rodalies R4 train from Molins de Rei station. Book on Parclick.
Yes. Streets without blue markings are free. Every year the council switches the blue-zone meters off for the whole of August, and it has also made the blue zone free during the Fira de la Candelera, the town fair held in early February. On Passeig del Terraplè, between Carrer del Molí and Carrer de Miquel Tort, a red-marked lane of 40 spaces becomes free parking at night: on weekdays from 20:00 to 7:00, on Saturdays from 14:00 and all day on Sundays and holidays. Outside those hours it is a traffic lane and parking is not allowed, so check the time before you leave the car there.
Molins de Rei does not appear on the AMB’s June 2026 list of metropolitan low-emission zones in operation, and we found no municipal ZBE ordinance. Neighbouring Sant Just Desvern plans to start its ZBE on 1 September 2026, with fines from 1 December 2026. Barcelona’s ZBE Rondes applies on weekdays from 7:00 to 20:00. Spanish-registered rental cars carry a DGT label, so they are not affected. Cars with foreign plates must be registered on the metropolitan ZBE register before entering Barcelona. Rodalies R4 trains run from Molins de Rei to Barcelona. Because of accessibility works at the station, the first and last trains are replaced by buses between Cornellà and Martorell on certain dates in October and November 2026.
