Old Parking Tickets in Vienna No Longer Valid for Long

Anyone using the old parking tickets after June 30, 2025, is effectively parking without a valid ticket and must expect a fine of 36 euros for illegal parking, explains Matthias Nagler, traffic expert at ÖAMTC.

Old Parking Tickets in Vienna Cannot Be Exchanged or Refunded

Therefore, anyone parking their vehicle in districts without a valid exemption permit – namely the Vienna "Parkpickerl" – should ensure to use only new parking tickets from July 1 onwards. The well-known colorful slips are still available for 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. For those who pay their parking fees digitally via mobile parking, the increased rates are already automatically calculated. "A return or exchange of old parking tickets has been refused by the city of Vienna for several years – anyone who still possesses them after the deadline, i.e., from July 1, is unfortunately stuck with them," clarifies Matthias Nagler. A method that the ÖAMTC has repeatedly criticized in the past. Nevertheless, the ÖAMTC expert advises those affected not to simply dispose of expired parking tickets: "Anyone who still has a large number of short-term parking tickets and can no longer use them should keep them as a precaution – so far, there is no final legal ruling on whether the refusal of exchange or fee refund is actually lawful," concludes Nagler.
