Bratislava to introduce new parking policy

A new Bratislava city-wide parking policy is due to cost residents who do not park their car on their own land a minimum annual fee of €49. Bratislava Mayor Matúš Vallo confirmed this to TASR press agency on Wednesday. The parking card, as well as unlimited parking at the place of permanent residence and 100 hours of parking for household visitors, will also include two hours of free-of-charge parking outside the residential zone. Sums for second and third household cars will equal €149 and €500, respectively. These will not include the benefit of free-of-charge parking outside the residential zone. Four fee zones are expected to be ushered in for hourly parking, with €2 per hour in the city centre and 50 cents per hour in the city outskirts. The new parking policy is to be introduced in late 2020.
