Hotel in the Florence ZTL: where to leave the car

If your hotel is inside the ZTL, you cannot simply park outside the door. The easy way: ask the hotel how to unload the luggage, then take the car to a garage and walk back.

Book a spaceGarages

No need to give us your number plate in advance. The ZTL permit is issued at the garage when you arrive.

Booking takes place on our main website, cityparkingfirenze.it (form in English).

Ask the hotel before you arrive

Write to your hotel before the trip and ask how guests with a car should arrive. Many hotels in the centre can tell you whether the car can stop briefly at the door to unload the luggage and what you need to do for the ZTL. The rules are the hotel’s and the Comune’s, so ask the hotel and do not assume.

Also ask for the hotel’s advice on parking. Not every hotel in the centre has a garage of its own.

Then leave the car in a garage

After the luggage, take the car to a guarded garage and walk back to the hotel. Our three garages are inside the ZTL. The garage registers your number plate on the City of Florence portal when you arrive, so you do not need to send the plate in advance.

The registration covers the drive in up to 3 hours before the start of the stay. The minimum stay is 1 hour. It does not cover bus and taxi lanes or pedestrian areas. If you plan to leave and come back during the stay, ask the garage how it works.

Which garage for which area

Weekends and early departures

If you travel at the weekend, choose a garage that is open. Borgo Pinti is closed on Saturday and Sunday. Check the opening times against your arrival and departure: for example, an early checkout is easier with a garage that opens at 7:00.

Cost and booking

From €35 per day for a small car, €40 for medium and large cars, €50 for luxury cars, vans and minivans. Up to 4 hours the hourly rate applies. You book directly with the garage on our official website, with no intermediaries.

Before you go, read the ZTL hours and what to do about a fine with a rental car. The ZTL guide explains the whole system.

Questions from international drivers

Can I drive to my hotel inside the ZTL?

Ask your hotel first: it can tell you how guests with a car should arrive and whether the luggage can be unloaded at the door. Do not enter the ZTL without checking.

Where do I park if my hotel has no garage?

In a guarded garage. City Parking has three garages inside the ZTL, and the garage registers your plate on arrival.

Which garage is open on Saturday and Sunday?

City Parking Fiesolana (7:00–23:30) and City Parking Via Venezia (Saturday 7:00–21:00, Sunday 8:00–21:00). Garage Firenze Borgo Pinti is closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Do I need to send the plate before arrival?

No. The permit is issued at the garage when you arrive.
