The new parking zone complex includes what are called "delivery boxes", which are distinguished from the usual blue, purple and orange sections by a P – RESERVÉ traffic sign. It is also recommended deliveries be made outside the parking zone hours.

Parking permits for natural persons running a business, legal persons and property owners are also currently issued for these purposes. These parking permits cannot be used in "delivery boxes".

Caregiver parking permits are for caregivers (general family members) who are not permanent residents in the given area and who take care of the basic needs of a person in need of care.

The holder of the parking permit is a citizen with permanent residence in the given area who has reached the age of 80 or who has been granted a care allowance of at least level III and who is also not a holder of a resident parking permit. The permit is issued for a max. of 3 vehicles and for at most 5 parking sub-zones.

There are "shared spots" for ZTP card holders in Prague reserved for the needs of those with physical disabilities. These are at sites where an increased presence of physically disabled persons can be expected. Parking in these spots is free for vehicles marked with an O7 parking permit. Holders of a ZTP card have the right to a discount rate for a Resident Parking Permit and a Parking Permit for ZTP Holders (document only available in Czech). Physically disabled citizens with permanent residence in a given area can also apply for a reserved parking spot (i.e. for a specific vehicle registration plate). These spots are established for a specific vehicle in accordance with Section 25 of Act No. 13/1997 Coll. on Roads and are exempt from paying a local fee for use of public space (more info here: Application for a reserved parking spot contract for a physically disabled person)

If payment of the parking fee in a parking machine by card does not go through properly for some reason and the payment is not made, it will not be charged either, thus no money will be taken from the account. If the amount is displayed in the payment reservations or account movements, it is still not a reason to panic or file a claim.

For any claim that needs to be filed, it is recommended that you wait for your bank statement and only if the payment is truly charged and drawn from your bank account, then contact us on the helpline or by e-mail.

Some mobile internet browsers (e.g. Safari, Chrome) allow you to browse websites in a "privacy mode". In this mode, the storing of certain information is generally restricted, so it may occur that it is not possible to save your payment card info, password or email address. We recommend checking whether your browser has anonymous mode turned on (according to the instructions of the internet browser you are using).

Setting up and using the virtual parking meter is only possible with anonymous mode turned off.
