Parking fees 2025: Drivers have to dig deeper into their pockets

In the coming year, drivers will have to dig deeper into our city. From January 1, 2025, the city increases parking fees by 5.9 percent. This was recently confirmed by the announcement of the ÖAMTC. This results in new prices for parking: for half an hour, drivers will have to pay 1.30 euros in the future instead of 1.25 euros as before. The prices for longer parking are also increasing. One hour then costs 2.60 euros instead of 2.50 euros, while the price increases to 3.90 euros for 90 minutes, which corresponds to an increase of 17 cents. Who plans to park for two hours then put 5.20 euros on the table, which means an increase of 20 cents.

The city also informs that parking that still parks with paper slips can buy new notes in the tobacco meals in good time. This is important to ensure a complete parking permit and still be able to consider the new tariffs from the deadline.

Explanation of the increase in fees

A significant innovation affects the parking certificates that were bought for the old tariff. Drivers can still use them until June 30, 2025. However, an exchange for the new, more expensive notes is not possible. The background of the increase in fees is the so -called valorization, which depends on the consumer price index. This year the threshold of the index was exceeded by three percent, which caused the city to adapt the parking fees. This is a widespread procedure to adapt the pricing to the inflation rate and keep the municipal income stable.

With the increase in parking fees, it is once again clear how important it is to keep an eye on the development of living costs. The city administration has emphasized that such measures are necessary to ensure the quality of public services.
