Parking during exhibition days
You can park at the general parking lot P1/P2 and P3 during the show. You can pay upon entry or order parking tickets in advance through the webshop and hand the tickets to the stand crew. The parking tickets ordered in advance guarantee a parking space at the general parking lot P1/P2; this is the parking lot closest to the halls.
On the day itself, parking staff may guide you to a parking space in the shipping areas. This can be done with your P1/P2 parking ticket and has no further financial consequences for you. When purchasing parking tickets in advance, please pay attention to the sales deadline: one week before the start of the show, sales will stop and you will have to purchase parking tickets directly at the venue with no guarantee for a parking space.
Parking permit for 3 days: €58,50 for 3 days including VAT.
Parking ticket for 1 day: €19,50 per day including VAT.

Financial consequences for incorrect parking
Ahoy reserves the right to enforce parking rules on P1/P2 parking areas. If any of your vehicles are found to be parked illegally—such as trailer-bus combinations, trucks, box trucks, or other vehicles occupying more than one parking space—this will be addressed accordingly.
Ahoy will conduct random visual inspections, and any improperly parked vehicles will be photographed. A fee of €19.50 per parking space per day will be charged for each violation. Before leaving the venue, you will be required to settle the outstanding balance, which may result in significant costs.
To avoid inconvenience and unnecessary expenses, please always follow parking regulations.
Alternative truck parking locations
For long-term truck and trailer parking, please refer to the Truck parking locations in Rotterdam. More information can be found here.
Badges and passes
Badges must be worn onsite at all times to gain access to the halls during show days. Badges can be printed onsite from Monday 20th May 2024.
Exhibitors receive an allocation of passes based on their stand/sponsorship, anything outside of this will need to be purchased. During open days of the exhibition, it is imperative exhibitor badges are only allocated and used by the staff that are working on your stand for security and health and safety reasons and should not be given to anyone else including visitors to your stand.
Only attendees who require access to show floor during show days are required to register. For build-up and breakdown, coloured wristbands will be provided to contractors/ stand builders by security personnel once stand details are confirmed. Contractors and stand builders do not need to register for a badge.
