Reserving parking in Forest
How to apply
Fill in the municipal form for occupation of public space (part A for a simple parking reservation). E-mail it as a PDF or JPEG to the Public Road Occupation Department, or hand it in at the counter (chaussée de Bruxelles 112, Tuesday and Thursday 8.30 am–12.30 pm, Bancontact payment only).
| When to apply | At least 7 working days before the occupation starts. Extension: new form 3 working days before the end. |
| Cost | €100 for a 20 m reserved zone for 1 day; €20 per extra day; extra sign beyond 20 m: ask the municipality. Furniture lift: €17 (5 days or less), €40 (more than 5 days). |
| Who places the signs? | Ask the municipality |
| Limits and furniture lift | Furniture lift, container or scaffolding: additional tax of €2/m²/day. If the furniture lift obstructs traffic or pedestrians, prior police approval is mandatory. |
| Contact | Public Road Occupation Department: 02 370 22 46 / 02 650 02 45; [email protected] or [email protected]; Police: [email protected] |
You always apply to the municipality yourself, not the mover: then mention the length you have reserved in your message.

How it works
- 1Describe your move, once
Route, floors, furniture, options and, if you like, up to 15 photos (rooms and access): about 3 minutes.
- 2Confirm your e-mail
One click on the link we e-mail you confirms your request. It is checked, then passed to a mover.
- 3One verified mover receives your request
They have 2 hours to accept it (counted between 8 am and 9 pm). A request confirmed between 9 pm and 8 am is passed to a mover from 8 am. If they decline or do not reply, your request goes to the next mover.
- 4You receive their quote through Movzo
They send it within 5 hours (same hours). You accept or decline it; if it does not suit you, you can ask once for another mover.
- 5You deal directly with the mover
Quote accepted: you receive their contact details and they receive yours. You agree and pay directly with them, then you leave a review after the move.
Before you move
- Parking permit: reserve the space with the municipality, at least 7 working days ahead. See how it works
- Furniture lift: from the 2nd floor without a lift, it often saves a lot of time.
- Register your address with your new municipality within 8 working days; a local police officer will visit to confirm.
- Dates: the end of the month and summer are busy. Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead.
