Paid parking in Ashkelon 2026: apps and rates instead of parking meters

You can pay for parking through the Pango app (or by dialing *4500), through Cellopark (*9070), or with an EasyPark electronic card (*3279). Ashkelon's rate is one of the lowest in the country — from 1.20 shekels an hour starting from the second hour; the free first hour is applied automatically across all payment methods.

Paid parking zones have expanded gradually, covering the city center, the market area and the towers district, with a separate pilot project introducing paid parking along the coastal strip. Before parking, it's worth checking the signage on site — the zone's color and signs indicate whether payment applies on that specific block.

How to tell whether payment applies in a specific block

• Blue-and-white curb markings — indicate a paid parking zone
• Signs with a zone number — needed to pay via app or SMS
• The first hour — free with any payment method; the tariff starts from the second hour

Pango, Cellopark and EasyPark all work in Ashkelon in parallel, so you can use whichever app you already have installed instead of signing up for a new one. Paid parking zones keep expanding, so even long-time residents should periodically check the current map on the municipality's website.
