Free parking

On-street parking in Hammerfest is normally free in the evening, at night and on Sundays and public holidays — but the charging hours are set by the municipality and shown on the sign, so always check the signs. Car parks and garages usually charge around the clock. The most reliable free options are park-and-ride sites and time-limited parking-disc spaces.

Some spaces/zones (e.g. Øvre Mølla, Fjellgata for residents) – check the signs

EV charging and parking

Hammerfest Parkering KF has charging points in the Kirkeparken (P1 2×22 kW, P2 1×50 kW + 2×22 kW) and Rossmolla (5×22 kW + 4×50 kW) car parks. EVs pay the ordinary parking charge (from 1 Jan 2025). The charging price is stated as 3 kr/kWh (ultra-rapid charging 4.5 kr/kWh) plus a connection fee – check current. Hammerfest Energi also has a charging station by Batteriet.

Electric and hydrogen cars now normally pay the ordinary charge on municipal parking. There is no national free-or-discount rule — each municipality decides for itself whether to grant an exemption (Parking Regulations § 34), and more and more charge the full price. Check locally.

The national EV rules (charging bay vs. parking space, cross-parking, why the price varies) are on the EV parking page.

Disabled parking

People with reduced mobility and a parking permit – follow the signs at the public spaces run by Hammerfest Parkering KF.

The national disabled-parking rules (what the card gives you, applying, double time) are on the disabled parking page.

Motorhome parking

Allowed: Hammerfest Parkering states that there are 14 dedicated motorhome spaces at Jernbanetrasken.

Check the operator's website and on-site signs for availability, season and price.

National rates and appeal rules

In Norway there are two different reactions to illegal parking, with different rules and different appeal routes:

Control sanction (contract parking)

Issued by the parking company on private and municipal regulated spaces:

660 kr — ordinary breach
330 kr — missing documentation on time-limited free parking
990 kr — parking in a space reserved for disabled permit holders

Legal basis: the Parking Regulations § 36. First appeal to the parking company within 3 weeks (§ 44). If your appeal is rejected, the case can be taken to the Parking Complaints Board within one year. Read more about the control sanction.

Parking fee (public road)

Issued by the police or the municipality for breaches of the traffic rules and sign regulations:

900 kr

Legal basis: the Regulations on public parking fees § 2. Appeal to the municipality or police within 3 weeks. If rejected, the case can be taken to the district court. Read more about the parking fee.

Why there are two systems, and how to tell which one you are in: private vs. public parking.
