Detailed FAQ on the rental process
Literally all the parking lots are equipped with special parking machines that are used to pay for parking. Once you pay, you will receive a parking ticket. The ticket should be placed in a prominent place on the windshield.
The cost of parking services depends on the location of the parking lot and the time of the day. In the daytime one hour of parking usually costs from 1 to 2.5 euro. If you want to park your car for a longer period, it is recommended to use the services of public parking lots. As a rule, the cost of one hour of parking at such lots is 2 - 3 euro per hour.
When choosing a place to park, you should pay particular attention to the sign in the form of a red triangle (Axe Rouge). These signs are usually installed on busy streets. The road sign means that it is not permitted to park cars there in the period from 07:00 to 09:30 and from 16:00 to 18:00.
