Around the last Advent weekend, the peak season for towing has begun in Vienna. Those who park incorrectly while Christmas shopping risk hefty fines – up to 400 euros may be due.

On the last Advent weekend, many will be out Christmas shopping by car, for example, to transport heavy gifts. The important ÖAMTC tip: Only park your vehicle legally.

Peak Season for Towing Services in Vienna

The towing services are mercilessly on the move, and then the Christmas package can be 400 euros more expensive (= towing plus storage fee, fine, and possibly taxi fare).

Cars parked in the second lane, on disabled parking spaces, in tram or bus stops, in front of driveways, or in taxi zones are particularly at risk of being towed. Also, on main roads, such as the Gürtel, towing is rigorously enforced during peak traffic times when stopping is prohibited.

Do Not Obstruct Public Transport

The ÖAMTC additionally appeals to all drivers to park their cars close enough to the curb so that trams can pass easily. In general, the concrete slabs on which the tracks lie must always remain clear. Additionally, side mirrors should be folded in.

All parking options can be found in the ÖAMTC route planner
