Italian parking fines: what each case costs
Choose where the vehicle was parked and whether it is a car or a motorbike: the calculator shows the amount within 5 and 60 days, the points and the article of the Code applied.
An Italian parking fine depends on where the vehicle was left and what kind of vehicle it is. Article 158 of the Highway Code sets four levels for cars: €42 to €173 for common cases such as blocking a driveway or double-parking; €87 to €344 on pavements, pedestrian crossings, cycle lanes, bends and charging bays; €165 to €660 at junctions, bus and taxi stops and in reserved lanes, with 2 points for stops and lanes; €330 to €990 and 4 points in disabled bays and on their ramps. Mopeds and motorbikes pay about half. Bans set by the town council with signs fall under article 7: €42 to €173. All these fines can be paid with the 30% discount within 5 days, since none carries a licence suspension, and they repeat for every day the vehicle stays where it should not be.

What it costs: every case
The Italian Highway Code separates the national bans of article 158, which apply everywhere even without a sign, from the bans set by each town council under article 7, shown by signs, painted bays or times. Under article 158, mopeds and two-wheeled motorcycles have lower amounts; under article 7 the amount is the same for all. These are the amounts in force in 2026.
| Where | Rule | Car | Motorbike or moped | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Driveway, double-parking, verge, bins, loading bays, ZTL without a permit, other cases | art. 158 para. 6 | €42 – €173 | €25 – €100 | 0 |
| Ban or time limit set by the council | art. 7 para. 14 | €42 – €173 | €42 – €173 | 0 |
| Pavement, pedestrian crossing, cycle lane, bends, tunnels, level crossings, electric-vehicle and charging bays, pedestrian areas | art. 158 para. 5 | €87 – €344 | €41 – €168 | 0 |
| Junction, within 5 metres (built-up areas) | art. 158 para. 5-bis | €165 – €660 | €87 – €328 | 0 |
| Bus, tram or taxi stop, lane reserved for public transport | art. 158 para. 5-bis | €165 – €660 | €87 – €328 | 2 |
| Disabled bay or ramp | art. 158 para. 4-bis | €330 – €990 | €165 – €660 | 4 |
The fine (the verbale) shows the minimum, which is what you pay within 60 days. Within 5 days of service you pay the minimum less 30%, because none of these cases carries a licence suspension (article 202): for a car €29.40, €29.40, €60.90, €115.50 and €231.00, in the table’s order. Service costs are added and are not reduced. None of these fines rises at night.

Points: only disabled bays, stops and reserved lanes
Parking costs licence points in three cases only, those listed in the points table: 4 points for bays reserved for disabled people’s vehicles and their ramps (paragraph 2, letter g), 2 points for bus, trolleybus, tram and taxi stops and stands (letter d) and for lanes or roadways reserved for public transport (letter h). A junction costs the same amount as a stop but no points: letter f of paragraph 1 is not in the table. Every other ban, pavements included, costs money only. New drivers lose double: 8 points in a disabled bay.
Council bans, ZTL and paid parking
No-parking signs put up by the council, disc zones (where a cardboard parking disc shows your arrival time) and blue paid bays all come from article 7. Breaking a ban or limit set under that article costs €42 to €173 (paragraph 14, first sentence). Overstaying the maximum time of a disc zone carries a lower penalty, multiplied by each period overstayed up to four times the base amount (paragraph 14, fourth and fifth sentences). Driving into a ZTL (zona a traffico limitato, a limited traffic zone), a pedestrian area or a public transport lane is a driving offence, not a parking one: it costs €83 to €332.
For blue bays, paragraph 15 of article 7 separates two situations. If nothing was paid, the paragraph 14 fine applies plus the tariff for the whole charged period of the day. If too little was paid, what counts is how far you overran: within 10% of the paid time there is no fine, between 10% and 50% the fine is halved, beyond 50% it is due in full; in the last two cases an amount equal to the tariff for the whole charged period of the day is added.

More days, more fines
Paragraph 7 of article 158 applies the penalties «per ciascun giorno di calendario», for each calendar day the offence lasts. For council bans, when the illegal parking goes on beyond twenty-four hours, the fine applies to each twenty-four-hour period, and the same goes for paid parking left unpaid past midnight on the day of the check. A car left for a week across a driveway can collect seven fines, not one.
With parking the driver is usually not there: the fine is then served on the vehicle’s owner, who is jointly liable. The dates for paying with the discount are on the reduced payment page, and what happens if you do not pay is on the unpaid fine page. The texts of articles 7 and 158 were read on Normattiva on 24 October 2026.
