Prepaid parking vouchers - parking fees

If you stop or park a car in a chargeable short-term parking zone, you are required to pay a parking fee. One option of paying this parking fee is by filling in a prepaid parking voucher when parking your motor vehicle in the parking zone. If you park your car for up to 15 minutes only, you do not have to pay a parking fee, but still have to fill in a free of charge parking voucher (15 minute parking voucher).

Where to place the parking voucher

Parking vouchers for cars must be placed behind the windscreen or, where no windscreen is available, in another equally suitable place so that they can be seen very easily. On-street parking supervisors may issue parking tickets for vouchers that are not clearly visible.
