Detailed FAQ on the rental process
Finding a paid parking lot is not difficult. It is simply enough to look for road signs with ««PARKING»» mark. At municipal parking lots the payment should be made through machines, while private parking lots usually have a person who collects payments. In any case, drivers need to stock up on plenty of coins in small denominations.
Parking machines are worth a separate mentioning. They are usually marked with bright colored markers with «PAY HERE» inscription. Prior to parking, the driver must determine, for how long he plans to leave his car, and then drop the appropriate amount of coins into the machine and get a check. The payment receipt must be placed in a prominent place under the windshield of the car, so that the parking lot’s staff can check your parking period.
Normally, one hour of paid parking services costs approximately 0.5 euro. The closer the car park is located to the city center and major tourist attractions, the higher its service costs are. On Sundays and on public holidays, it is possible to use services of most municipal parking lots for free.
