You can read more about using Sesam Sesam and EasyPark here. We prefer that you use one of the first five options, and will only send an invoice if none of them are used.
We offer monthly parking rentals at ByGarasjen. Monthly rentals are for a period of at least three months, and are only payable by invoice and in advance for every month. The contract allows you to enter/exit the parking facility using automatic number-plate recognition (ANPR). The contract is auto-renewed every month, but can be canceled one month in advance, calculated from the current month.
We also offer pay-per-use agreements for companies, which are invoiced monthly in arrears.
Monthly rate: 2 080 / 2 600 NOK per month, VAT included, for private individuals and companies, in that order.
NB! We do not offer monthly rentral agreements for electric vehicles. Electric and hydrogen cars park at a discount in ByGarasjen. See more under “Discount for electric vehicles”
You can purchase discounted period parking at our customer service center on level 1 in ByGarasjen. This is great alternative if you need parking for a limited period of time, whereas renting a parking space monthly is for long-term needs. Period parking gives you unlimited use of the parking garage within the contract period, meaning that you can enter and exit the facility as you please within the contracted period of time.
No additional discounts are applicable. Please note that the contract is for one car; you cannot register multiple cars on the same contract.
Two-wheeled mopeds and motorcycles are exempt from payment for short-term parking under 24 hours and in spaces reserved for motorcycles and mopeds. You can find these spaces on the right side when you reach level 2.
To receive the payment exemption, you must contact our customer service center on level 1 near the exit lanes and provide your plate number. This must be done after entering and before exiting the facility. The payment exemption will then be applied for the current parking session, even if you have a Sesam Sesam agreement with automatic payment.
Motorcycles and mopeds that do not register for the discount, or who park for more than 24 hours, will be charged the regular parking fee.
The charging area on level 2 towards the south (AdO, Amalie Skram school) has separate rates and entry/exit.
Available charging stations: 92
Contact type: Type 2 Mode 3
Max effect: 16-30A
To charge your vehicle, you will need to supply your own Mode 3 Type 2 cable.
There is an additional fee for parking inside the charging area. The duration of your parking is determined using automatic number-plate recognition when entering/exiting the area. This additional fee is added to the regular rates. This means that the fee for the charging area is independent from special discounts, monthly rates etc.
NB! Payment for the charging cannot be made at the payment machine, please use the apps or online payment portal.
Visitors with disabilities are exempt from parking fees when parking for a duration less than 24 hours. There are 10 parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities in ByGarasjen. 6 parking spaces towards Bergen Storsenter on level 1 and 4 parking spaces on level 2.
To register for parking fee exemption, visit our customer service center at level 1 by the exit and provide us with your number plate. This must be done after entering and before exiting the garage. You will also be required to provide a permit. The exemption is then valid for one parking duration, even if you have an active Sesam Sesam account.
Do you have an electric vehicle with non-standard number plates?
Contact our customer service center to register for your discount when parking. If you are parking often and wish to avail yourself of the upper fee limit for electric cars, you can rent a parking space. Please note in the comment section of the order form that it is regarding a non-standard electric vehicle.
Our customer service center in ByGarasjen is open 24/7 all year. You can find the customer service center by the exits on level 1. If you are approaching in your car, the outermost exit lane has a hatch through which you can speak to a customer service member. There are also parking spaces just outside the customer service center that can be used for enquiries (max 15 mins).
If you have exited the parking facility without having an active account, and you have not paid at the payment kiosk, you can still pay for your visit.
