Parking Illegally in Vienna Can Be Very Expensive During Advent

Retrieving a car parked in a disabled parking space can cost over 400 euros, warn ÖAMTC experts. During the pre-Christmas period, parking spaces in Vienna are scarce. Drivers should not park illegally even after a long search, as high costs may ensue. The ÖAMTC recommends using a parking garage, as it is cheaper than towing.

Illegal Parking in Vienna During Advent Can Quickly Cost Hundreds of Euros

The ÖAMTC states that the cost for towing is 301 euros. The daily fee for storing the vehicle at the MA 48 towing lot in Simmering is 11 euros. For traffic-obstructing parking, the penalty range is between 36 and 108 euros, and for serious violations, such as parking in disabled spaces, it can reach up to 726 euros. Those who then retrieve their car with a taxi pay a total of more than 400 euros.

These Illegal Parkers Are Rigorously Towed in Vienna

Cars parked in double rows, in disabled parking spaces, at tram or bus stops, in front of driveways, or in taxi areas are at high risk of being towed. On thoroughfares like the Gürtel, towing is strictly enforced during no-parking times at peak traffic hours.

Extra Caution with Resident Parking Spaces in Vienna During Advent

In districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 20, and 22, according to ÖAMTC, there are special resident parking spaces in addition to short-term parking zones. The fine for illegal parking is 36 euros. If you find a parking space, check carefully whether it is a resident parking space. Information on resident spaces can be found here.
