Not a Ticket, but a Financial Noose

The real danger lies in the penalty that follows. Many owners take the risk, assuming the worst they’ll face is a small parking fine, like illegal parking downtown.

These penalties often start at €500 per week and can climb into the thousands. Renting professional storage is far cheaper than fighting the enforcement department.
