Detailed description

A resident parking area is a clearly defined area for which residents can apply for a resident parking permit for their vehicle. With this ID you are exempt from the maximum parking time and parking fees in this area.



If you use third-party vehicles, rental vehicles or company vehicles, you also have the option of applying for a resident parking permit. Rental and changing company vehicles must be clearly identifiable as such (name of the respective company).



You can find an overview of the resident parking areas in Hamburg under Links.
