Bratislava Parking Availability and Regulations
In the centre, in most streets during the day (8 a.m. through 4 p.m.) you are required to purchase and mark one-hour parking cards at a low price of € 0.70 per hour. Parking cards, which require you to mark the time, are sold in the streets by vendors in yellow vests and also at some newsstands.
A lot of places in the centre are private (marked with a white cross on the ground, a blue P-Reserve traffic sign and sometimes protected with a metal column).
Towing
Cars in Bratislava can be towed if they obstruct traffic and the driver can not be contacted. Cars are towed to the Black Forrest area in the Vlcie Hrdlo district. To retrieve a towed car you must contact the police (phone number 159 for the city police, +421 2 4564 3817 for the towed cars registry) and pay a hefty fine and retrieval fee. To check online, whether your car has been towed, follow this link and enter your licence plate number without any spaces in the box. Cars can be retrieved between 7:30 a.m. and 10 p.m.
Immobilisers
These are used for other parking violations and contain a contact telephone number (you may contact the city police at 159).
Guarded Secure Paid Parking
Fees for guarded parking start at about € 1 per hour and go all the way up to € 2.50 per hour. Fees may vary by length of stay and day of the week.

Hello,
I am going to legally rent a apartment in the old town area and in the street the parking spots are marked with X. Can I get the parking card for that area, provided I live there?
Thanks and Regards,
Alin

Can a disabled visitor with a European Model parking card (Blue Badge) use it in Brateslava? And can someone from outside Europe eg USA use theirs? Also, if they can be used, are there any parking concessions other than the right to park in a marked disabled parking bay?
ADMIN: Only Slovak cards are valid as far as the law states, but you should be alright parking at those spots with the foreign card as well. No other advantages are given other than the parking spot for disabled can be used.

I would like to know the location of guarded secure parking in Bratislava. You mention it and give prices, but no further information. The stay would be about one week.
Thanks for your help.
