Owners of a regional business parking permit can park in designated resident parking spaces in the resident parking zone where their company is located. With a business parking permit that extends to all of the zones, you can park freely in all of Helsinki's resident parking zones.
The business parking permit is intended for companies, public entities and entrepreneurs.
The City of Helsinki grants a maximum of five permits (five vehicles) per one company location. A single permit may only be used by the specific vehicle noted on the permit. We do not grant permits for commuter parking.
You can get a permit for a car, van, motorcycle, motorised quadricycle or another vehicle with a maximum mass of four tonnes that is owned by a company or its employees.
Price of a regional permit is €60.83 per month and price of a permit for all zones is €91.66 per month. The prices include VAT. Low-emission vehicles receive a discount on the fee.
If the vehicle is decommissioned from traffic use, the permit is no longer valid.
Apply for a business parking permit
You can apply for a business parking permit or extend the validity of your buseinss parking permit by email to kymp.pysakointitunnus@hel.fi, or by visiting the Urban Environment Division's customer service point in person.
You can purchase a business parking permit for 1-12 months at a time. If you buy the permit at the customer service desk, it becomes valid immediately. Applications sent by email are processed in about two working days. The permit becomes valid approximately two business days after payment.
How the process works
When applying for a parking permit, please provide us with the following information:
- the vehicle licence plate numbers and the company's business ID
- information on whether the permit is required for one zone or all zones
- the time period for which the permit is required (1-12 months).
If the car is not owned or controlled by the company, please also provide your most recent payslip or an extract from the Incomes Register showing kilometre allowances, which specifies the kilometre allowance for the use of the car during working hours. Please note that travel expense claims are not sufficient documentation. Please always use secure email when sending your personal details.
We check the location of a company's place of business primarily using the information in the Business Information System (YTJ), under the 'postal address' section. If we are unable to verify the location of the company's place of business with certainty, we will request further details regarding its location. A certificate issued by a property manager or property management company less than one month ago, stating the address of the company's place of business, will be accepted as additional documentation.
If you apply for a permit by email, we will email you the permit invoice. If you apply for a permit in person at the customer service point, you can pay with cash or a debit or credit card.
