Driving Tips for Parma

When you rent a car in Parma, there are some things you should keep in mind in order to make your trip worthwhile.

Traffic rules in Parma

  • ZTLs: ZTLs, or limited traffic zones, are present in Parma and other Italian cities. These are restricted areas that you can’t drive in unless you have a special permit. Keep your eye out for signs marking ZTLs and avoid driving through them.
  • No right on red: In Parma and the rest of Italy, it is illegal to make a right turn at a red light.

Parking in Parma

  • Free street parking: Free street parking does exist in Parma—look for the white lines marking the spaces.
  • Paid street parking: Paid street parking is marked with blue lines—it’s a good idea to keep coins on hand to pay the meters.
  • Public lots and garages: You’ll find plenty of lots and garages both in the city center and on the outskirts. These are more reliable options, although they will be a little more expensive than parking on the street.

These and our other tips for driving in Italy should make your journey a breeze.

Crazy experience today!!! The guy in the office is so nice!! I have never seen such a positive, welcoming and supportive person as the dude I found today in parma! I’m from LA and safe to say the guys there should take a lesson from him on how to treat the clients. So nice to see a young man doing good work, he was quick with the documents, explained some routes to avoid ztl and gave me a brand new cool car, IT HAD JUST 7 MILES! We were here visiting family just for my fiancé but the next time we around here we DEFINITELY coming back. Lovely experience

Ciao - I intend to rent a SUV in June 2025 (next month) from Parma but I require an English speaking SatNav in the car. Please can you tell me if this can be provided by SIXT (Parma). Thanks, Mark
