Parking in Kristiansund
Public parking in Kristiansund is run by the municipal company Kristiansund Parkering AS, which uses a progressive rate – the first hour is cheapest, then the price rises hour by hour. The spaces are divided into rate groups such as Sentrum (4600, max 3 hours), Øvre Sentrum (4610) and Kongens Plass (4612, max 5 hours). You can use the municipality's own, fee-free app «Kristiansund Parkering», or pay via EasyPark/SMS (with a surcharge) or at the machine.

Free parking
On-street parking in Kristiansund 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.
- Sunday is normally free of charge at public spaces. Exceptions include private areas and motorhome parking.
- Some shops may offer free customer parking – always follow the signs on site.
EV charging and parking
Follow the signs for EV/charging terms at the public spaces (verify on build).
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
Kristiansund Parkering AS has disabled bays (cf. the Parking Regulations § 61). Information on disabled parking and applying for a disabled permit is on ksuparkering.no.
The national disabled-parking rules (what the card gives you, applying, double time) are on the disabled parking page.
Motorhome parking
Allowed: Dalabukta by Nordmørsterminalen (Astrupsgate 9) has seasonal motorhome parking, rate group 4621.
In 2026, the rate is 280 kr per day, including electricity, fresh water, cassette-toilet emptying and grey-water disposal. The minimum charge is one day and the charge applies 24 hours.
