Finding a parking space in “rubber” Moscow is becoming more and more difficult every year, and not paying a penny seems completely unrealistic. However, with There are ways to park for free in paid parking lots in Moscow.

Where can I park for free on weekends and holidays?

The whole day from 00:00 on weekends and holidays there is no charge for parking. You can safely come to the center of Moscow and leave your car at the curb. But it is necessary to take into account that the day off in this case is exclusively Sunday.

Tariffs for parking spaces on Saturdays do not differ from weekdays. And yet, there is an exception. If Friday is a day off, parking on Saturday will not cost a ruble.

However, the rule of free parking on Sundays and holidays does not apply to debtors with outstanding fines.

For whom parking is always free?

Moscow Government Decree N 289-PP provides an exhaustive list of vehicles and persons who are guaranteed the right to free parking in Moscow City, regardless of the time of day, weekends and holidays:

• two-wheeler motorcycle owners, electric vehicles, scooters;
• emergency transport with special identification marks;
• vehicles for disabled people, their legal representatives, as well as other preferential categories provided for by regulatory legal acts (clauses 2.2, 2.3, 2.6 of the Resolution).

However, no one is allowed to park free of charge in designated parking spaces for trucks. Vehicle and buses.

How much does parking cost?

The cost primarily depends on the location of the parking lot on the map. The price will differ depending on whether the parking space is located on the Boulevard or Garden Ring.

There are 4 tariff zones:

• regular 24-hour - varies from 60 to 80 rubles per hour (as of 2018);
• increased 24-hour service - 200 rubles per hour;
• reduced round-the-clock - 40 rubles per hour;
• differentiated - from 60 to 80 rubles per hour for the parking period from 20:00 to 8:00 and from 60 to 150 rubles per hour for the period from 8:00 to 20:00.

You can buy a subscription for a month or a year. Monthly subscription prices range from 15 to 30 thousand rubles, again, depending on the location, annual subscription - 150-300 thousand rubles.

Are there any benefits for local residents?

Residents of houses located in paid city parking zones have the right to preferential use of these parking lots. Based on a resident parking permit, a free parking space is provided from 20:00 to 8:00.

Residents are considered to be the owners of apartments, shares in property, houses, office and residential premises under the right of ownership or under a lease agreement. For round-the-clock use, a resident must pay 3,000 rubles per year.

Where else can I park my car?

From 5:30 to 2:00 you can park for free in more than 20 park-and-ride parking lots located at metro stations. Compared to 2017, the number of parking spaces in intercept car parks has almost doubled.

1. To get free parking, you only need to make at least two trips on the metro.. For others, parking will be in accordance with the established tariff.
2. Another option for parking in Moscow is open parking with a barrier. Many such parking lots are scattered throughout the city. The price for some central ones, for example at the zoo, during the daytime from 10:00 to 22:00 is 50 rubles per hour.

The introduction of paid parking was an unpleasant surprise for motorists. Muscovites circumvent the law as best they can: they hide license plates so that video recording cameras cannot read them, leave cars in alleys and near nearby houses, and simply evade paying fines. However, the law also provides for legal ways to leave a car in the center without paying.

There are only three such methods in Moscow:

• park on certain days (on other days you can use public transport);
• take places at “intercept” parking lots;
• take advantage of the privilege for large families or any other benefit provided by law (for this you need to have a certain social status).

Development of paid parking in the capital

For 6 years now, city authorities in Moscow have been trying to relieve highways from traffic jams, and streets from illegal commercial parking. They use the introduction of state paid parking as a tool.

In 2013, the law was amended. It added provisions on fines for the most popular methods of evading payment and changes in the payment system. For example, parking can be paid in any available way:

• cash via terminal;
• cards: bank or parking;
• payment via SMS.

If you ignore the payment requirements of the law, a receipt will be issued for the amount of:

• 2500 rubles if parking is not paid;
• from 1000 to 5000 – for evading payment of a fine to the city treasury;
• 5000 – for removing or sealing the state registration number from a car.

However, there are cases when you are not required to pay a fine - if the parking lot is not equipped in accordance with current standards: there are no markings, signs or a working parking meter.

Today, for a set fee (50 rubles per hour), you can park your car on the territory inside the Garden Ring, as well as on more than five hundred streets located in the area of ​​the Third Transport Ring. Paid parking has been introduced near most business and shopping centers.

Many drivers left their cars in the courtyards of nearby houses to avoid paying fees for parking. This caused a storm of indignation among the residents of such houses, so the mayor of Moscow decided to fight driver cunning. Now apartment owners can jointly install a barrier at the entrance to the yard, and the capital government will compensate them 50 thousand rubles.

How valet parking works

Places where you can park your car for free at certain times in Moscow are mainly located near large metro stations. This is one of the easiest ways to get to work within the Garden Ring without paying for parking. There are currently 21 areas where you can park your car. In the next 4 years, it is planned to open 37 more such sites. You can find out the location of intercepting parking lots if you go to the official website of the metro.

The main conditions for using interception sites are as follows:

• from 6 am to 9:30 pm you can stand on them without paying if you use the metro services (you need to make 2 trips);
• such sites work like regular paid parking if you do not use the metro (then you need to pay the usual fee of fifty rubles per hour of parking);
• At night, a fee of 100 rubles per hour is charged (from 21:30 to 6:00).

The creation of such parking lots should encourage metropolitan motorists not to drive their cars into the center, but to get to work by metro. This is necessary to relieve congestion on main highways.

Which categories of citizens have the right not to pay parking fees?

In the law on the introduction in Moscow paid zones For parking, categories of citizens are allocated who have the right not to pay the fee established by law. First of all, parking is free for emergency services:

• Ambulance;
• police;
• fire protection;
• emergency teams (gas, utility and others);
• traffic police (including military);
• investigative authorities.

However, parking without payment is possible only if the cars have identification marks: coloring and inscriptions. Other citizens can obtain special permits: preferential or resident. Former prisoners of concentration camps, participants of the Second World War and the defense of Moscow receive preferential treatment. Only after completing this paper do they have the right to park their vehicles free of charge in the city center. All registered Muscovites can be residents. In the area of ​​their place of registration, they have the right to leave their transport from 8 pm to 8 am without paying.

If you need your car to be in the area’s parking lots around the clock, then it makes sense to purchase a subscription for 3,000 rubles. This subscription is valid for a year. Citizens registered in Moscow can purchase similar paper for parking in other areas, but the cost can reach 250 thousand.

Free parking is available to parents with many children only after they prepare a package of documents and submit it to the nearest MFC. In 2018, all large families registered in Moscow can receive this benefit. To do this they need to submit:

• passport;
• a certificate from the tax service about exemption from paying the annual fee for owning a vehicle;
• certificate of ownership of the car.

The application can be written on the spot according to the sample proposed by the MFC employee or in free form. Today there is an alternative way to obtain this permission - using the Internet portal of government services. In this case, you don’t need to stand in lines, and you can get the paper you need faster. Permission is obtained once a year until the family is no longer considered to have many children. It is not necessary to take it with you; after submitting documents and making a positive decision, the number of your vehicle will be entered into a special database of beneficiaries.

On what days can you park in the center for free?

Since 2014, the authorities in Moscow began a global experiment, which was crowned with success. All car owners became participants. Now parking in the center has become free for everyone on the following days:

• holidays(who are declared non-working by the state);
• Sunday;
• weekends (transferred to weekdays according to Federal law);
• Saturdays following a weekend or holiday.

However, many motorists forget that on other Saturdays, parking is paid in full. This is due to the fact that many organizations work every Saturday, so the main highways are congested on these days at the same level as on weekdays. There is one limitation - drivers with many unpaid fines will not be able to leave their vehicles for free until they pay off the debt. At the same time, it is important that they are excluded from the list of debtors on the traffic police website.

A list of holidays and weekends on which you can park your vehicle for free is posted on the Moscow parking website. There you can also find a list of streets on which you are allowed to park your vehicle at night right under a prohibiting sign and not pay a fine for it.

The mayor of Moscow was asked to make parking free on Saturday, following the example of Sunday and holidays

State Duma deputy from the LDPR faction Yaroslav Nilov prepared an appeal addressed to the capital's mayor Sergei Sobyanin with a request to consider the issue of canceling paid parking in Moscow on Saturdays. As the legislator noted, the rule on paid parking on Saturday creates problems for absolutely all motorists, including holders of resident permits.

Today, all motorists who want to park in a paid parking zone on Saturday pay standard amounts, as on all other weekdays (usually from 40 to 80 rubles per hour). When introducing the system of charging for parking, the Moscow authorities, of course, thought through some measures social support. Thus, you can park your car for free in any of the capital’s parking zones on Sundays and holidays.

To somewhat reassure city residents, resident permits were invented. But even they did not solve the problems of motorists.

Most city residents (homeowners, tenants under a social tenancy agreement or an office space rental agreement) can obtain a resident parking permit for a period of one year. It gives the right to free parking within the administrative district of Moscow, on the territory of which the resident’s residential premises are located.

But further nuances arise in this norm. Firstly, on weekdays a car can be parked in a parking space for free from 20.00 to 8.00. That is, a citizen who needs to go to work by 10.00 and travel half an hour to get there already has a problem. Actually, just like a motorist whose working day ends at 17–18 hours. But this problem, of course, is not the most important one. Home is Saturday. If on Sunday you can park your car in any parking zone in the city for free, then on Saturday you need to pay the weekday rates. However, the resident permit does not work on Saturday.

What does this lead to? A respectable citizen who has a resident permit, every Saturday or late Friday evening, instead of thinking about a well-deserved rest, is forced to look for somewhere to park his car so as not to pay for parking.

There is also another option: you can apply for a so-called improved resident permit by paying 3 thousand rubles, and get the opportunity to park around the clock in your area. However, it will no longer be possible to go to a neighboring area on a weekend and leave your car there without charging a fee.

To solve this problem, the State Duma proposed introducing free parking on Saturdays. Yaroslav Nilov noted that most citizens work according to the standard scheme - five working days and two days off, and there is no need to create unnecessary difficulties for city residents on one of the weekends.

“If most working Russians have two days off at the end of the week, then it is unfair to leave parking free only on Sundays. If you give citizens free parking on both days off, you can avoid not only the unfair hierarchy of resident permits, where a resident must pay extra for complete peace of mind and the right to sleep after a five-day work week, but also make life easier for other citizens, the legislator said. - A person will not be able to fully work and rest if every Saturday morning he has to get up and look for where to move the car before Sunday. “In addition, it’s summer now, many citizens from residential areas of Moscow, the Moscow region and other regions want to visit the historical center of Moscow, and not everyone can afford paid parking.”

In the most expensive parking zone, in the center of Moscow, the parking tariff is 80 rubles per hour. At the same time, the authorities recently decided on an unpleasant innovation for drivers. Now only the first hour of parking costs 80 rubles; for the second and subsequent hours you will have to pay 130 rubles each.

Over the past few years, paid parking in the Russian capital has become the biggest headache for local motorists. Even outrage over the quality of the road surface and the work of traffic inspectors, which is not always clear to citizens, have faded into the background. After the latest expansion, the paid parking zone, despite numerous protests, reached the most remote residential areas of the capital. So far, after such a blitzkrieg, the Moscow authorities have taken a break and are not announcing new expansions or major changes in tariffs. However, from time to time, topics arise in the information field about the need to introduce an entrance fee to the Third Transport Ring or to the city center. It is very unlikely that these topics arise simply and are not an attempt by the mayor’s office to test the possible level of social discontent in the event of the introduction of new levies.

Parking holidays - when can you not pay for parking in the center of Moscow?

Problems with the availability of parking spaces in Moscow forced the authorities to take radical measures and give a new status to parking lots, transferring them to the category of paid ones. The capital's drivers did not happily accept this idea and are actively using all sorts of ways to avoid the burden of paying for parking, which, as a rule, are illegal. But at the same time, if you delve into the issue, you can find out that there are legal ways to use parking lots free of charge and not be afraid of anything.

When and on what days in Moscow can you not pay for paid parking? Is there a charge for parking on weekends? Is parking free at night and are the parking lots open at night? We will answer these questions in this article.

Free parking calendar in Moscow for 2018

The main ways to use free parking in Moscow are:

• keep an eye on the calendar, as parking is free on certain days;
• park in “intercept” parking lots;
• find out which categories of citizens are recognized as benefiting and have the right to a free parking space, and if this benefit applies, then apply for a parking permit (large families, disabled people, etc.).

Parking and rides allow you to park for free during certain hours. The locations of such parking lots are usually concentrated near large metro stations. Their existence is intended to encourage drivers to use public transport and, first of all, the metro to travel to their place of work. There are already 21 sites for such parking throughout Moscow, and in the next 4 years their number will increase by another 37. The exact addresses of such parking lots are contained on the official website of the Moscow metro.

Despite the fact that parking involves free parking, a number of conditions must be met that make it so:

• parking is allowed only from 6.00 to 21.30;
• a citizen must make at least 2 trips by metro.

If the conditions are not met, then the parking space is paid for on a general basis. At night, places in such parking lots are also paid at double the rate.

Preferential categories of citizens with the right to free parking

• employees of a number of emergency services in the performance of their work duties (Ministry of Emergency Situations, police, ambulance, etc.). An important criterion is the use of special vehicles with special colors, inscriptions and other attributes;
• persons who have either a preferential or resident permit. Preferential permit is issued:
  • concentration camp prisoners;
  • participants of the Second World War and the defense of Moscow;
  • disabled people of groups 1 and 2;
  • with many children.

The benefit is valid after obtaining a permit; its absence requires payment for parking spaces according to the general rules.

A resident permit is formally free, but for round-the-clock use of the service for a year you will have to pay 3,000 rubles, but compared to parking prices, this amount is insignificant. It is issued to Muscovites and its radius covers parking lots according to registration. You can leave your vehicle free of charge under a resident agreement in such parking lots from 20.00 to 8.00.

Days and places of free parking

Car owners have access to free parking in the center of Moscow on the following days:

• days recognized as holidays (state non-working holidays);
• Sunday;
• weekends that were transferred to a weekday in accordance with the law;
• Saturdays after a weekend or holiday. On regular Saturdays, parking is paid according to the current tariff.

Even such days do not give the right to free parking to malicious debtors of fines if they have not been repaid and the relevant information has not been deleted from the traffic police website. A more detailed list of days and places with free parking is available on the official website of the Moscow Mayor.

Weekends include free parking, but with reservations. Not all Saturdays fall under this category, since most companies also work on Saturday, so Saturday is considered a day off only if the previous Friday was a holiday or day off.

The cost of a parking space during the daytime ranges from 40 to 80 rubles; at night, rates double. On weekends (public holidays, Sundays, etc.), except Saturdays, parking is free.

Parkons are open during the day from 8.00 to 20.00. Each parking lot is assigned a specific route, which lasts 15 minutes.

Having a personal vehicle is undoubtedly convenient, but at the same time, the owner also faces some problems. The “sickest” of them is parking. This issue is especially acute in large cities, where there are not only problems with parking, but also with movement - traffic jams have more than once caused delays. Meanwhile, parking in Moscow on weekends and weekdays is a whole procedure, especially for those who have never encountered all the nuances of this innovation.

Parking rules on weekends

Not so long ago, the owner of a vehicle could safely leave the car in a suitable place and no one even thought about paying for such actions. But only until the situation became critical - car owners were forced to park their iron horses even on the sidewalks. In other words, the situation has become critical for both motorists and pedestrians. Therefore, parking rules in Moscow on weekends and weekdays have changed somewhat. All this is regulated by Resolution No. 289-PP dated May 17, 2013.

Paid parking has its advantages and solves several pressing problems, namely:

• there are no longer cars parked on the sidewalks, and pedestrians can move around safely without fear for their safety;
• on central highways there are no such large-scale traffic jams as before, since there are no longer cars blocking the passage;
• Paid parking is not only an opportunity to leave your car in a suitable place, it also provides protection for the vehicle.

Of course, not everyone liked this innovation; not everyone is willing to pay for parking. Therefore, at first, enterprising drivers began to leave their cars in the courtyards of residential buildings, since the payment law did not apply to these territories. But the residents of the houses did something even smarter - they installed barriers that do not let other people's vehicles through. The parking space itself belongs to the roadway and may be adjacent to the roadway, sidewalk, or even an overpass. Any parking area has special equipment, which, in fact, regulates the process of placing cars.

Parking rules in the center

Parking in the center of Moscow can be either paid or free. Thus, from December 2013 to 2019 inclusive, there is a promotion under which parking spaces are free in some locations in the center of Moscow. Also, services of this kind are available to some preferential categories of citizens.

The area where paid city parking in Moscow begins (on weekends and weekdays) is equipped with a special sign. Therefore, the car owner will know that he can be completely calm about the safety of his vehicle - special cameras and security are a guarantee of this.

It is impossible to say for sure how much parking costs in Moscow on weekends, since pricing will depend on the specific location. However, for people who work in a given location (offices, municipal buildings, various establishments), they can count on a discount. It should be noted that when parking a vehicle, it is not at all necessary to pay immediately - the first quarter of an hour the service is free. This applies to both the center of the capital and residential areas. But, the subsequent time of renting a place must be paid within half an hour, otherwise a fine will be charged.

City parking in Moscow on weekends in the center has several features:

• before “driving” your car into the parking lot, you need to clarify whether it is for public use or belongs to a specific building, since there are quite a large number of offices in the center;
• If you are an employee of a nearby building, you can count on a discount, but its amount must be clarified directly with the parking administrator.

Parking lots work on weekends in Moscow according to exactly the same schedule as on weekdays. The only difference is the cost of such a service. In general, it should be said that the algorithm for using paid parking in the center is almost the same as in residential areas - the rules that govern this service are the same for everyone.

Parking in residential areas

As soon as paid parking was introduced in Moscow on weekends and weekdays, many car owners found a kind of “life hack” - leaving their vehicles in the courtyards of apartment buildings. Residents did not like this and special barriers were installed, which allowed only residents of the house to park their cars.

According to the innovations, parking in Moscow on weekends will also be paid, but the tariff will be slightly lower than in the same center and other areas of the capital. Thus, residential areas are subject to the same regulations as other areas of the city.

To obtain the right to preferential parking in sleeping areas, you will have to confirm this with the following documents:

• documents that confirm the identity of the applicant;
• extract from the house register;
• documents for the vehicle itself;
• consent of the apartment owners, if the resident is a shared owner of the residential premises. If we are talking about a lease, then you need to provide a copy of the lease agreement.

This agreement can be renewed every year.

Parking Features

Paid parking is essentially a private service, therefore, in addition to general rules, which were undertaken by Resolution No. 289, also have their own requirements. Paid parking, which is located in parking lots (aboveground or underground) of shopping and entertainment centers, pays on an hourly basis. But, even in this case, you can get a discount if you purchase something in a shopping center or use any services. Failure to comply with the rules will result in a fine.

Payment for a parking space must be made within fifteen minutes after the driver enters the parking lot. If the paid time is up, the driver must vacate the seat within ten minutes. If the owner does not do this, this entails the following consequences:

• a fine may be assessed;
• the vehicle may be impounded.

Therefore, if a motorist has any benefits, they must be presented to the parking administrator in advance. All parking lots, without exception, have signs indicating which days or times you can park your vehicle completely free of charge. There is free parking in Moscow on weekends. The service is provided on Sundays and official holidays. It should be noted that on Saturday you can leave your car under supervision completely free of charge only if Friday was a public holiday. The time for free parking in Moscow on weekends will depend on the owner, but in most cases it is from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.

For reference, not everyone can take advantage of such privileges. So, if the owner of a vehicle has three unpaid fines, then he will not be able to leave the car for free in any parking lot. Moreover, upon arrival he will be issued another fine. These are the general rules for paid parking in Moscow on weekends.

Parking cost

How is parking paid on weekends? There is no clear general answer here. The cost of parking in Moscow on weekends will depend on the specific area. Pricing will also depend on the length of time the car stays in the parking lot, the availability of benefits and other bonus programs. As a rule, a private parking lot installs a special information board at the entrance, which indicates how many spaces are available and what the cost of the service is. According to the Government Decree of December 3, 2013 (No. 798-PP), payment for parking in Moscow on weekends, provided that the car is parked around the clock, is charged as follows:

• 80 rubles per hour if parking is located in the Boulevard Ring area;
• 60 rubles per hour if the parking area is located on the Garden Ring, as well as in the outer area from the Boulevard to the Garden Ring.

However, rates may vary depending on how busy the parking lot is, the exact time of day, and the rules set by the owner himself. Thus, parking in Moscow on weekends in 2019 can be charged as follows:

• inside the Garden Ring, from 8 am to 10 pm, a differentiated tariff is practiced - after the first hour the cost increases;
• On some streets of the Third Transport Ring the tariff is 60 rubles per hour.
• On some streets of the Boulevard Ring, parking for the first half hour can cost 50 rubles per hour, after which the rate increases approximately three times.

In residential areas there is a much more “gentle” tariff - 40 rubles per hour, but even here tariffs may vary, depending on the specific area, time of day and owner of the parking lot. However, there is one advantage here - residents of municipal areas in which paid parking is located have the right to leave their vehicle in the parking lot for free from eight in the evening to eight in the morning. For such a right to exist, the resident must obtain a special parking permit, which is valid for three years. But, at the request of the car owner, such a document can be issued for a shorter period - one or two years. Such coupons are issued as “no more than two per apartment.”

You can save money in this case too if you purchase a subscription. In this case, the price of parking in Moscow on weekends and weekdays will be lower than if you pay the tariff hourly:

Attention! In the increased tariff zone (200 rubles/hour) parking passes are not valid! You can view the list of high-rate zones at.

Thus, when paying for a year, the car owner saves quite a decent amount or simply gets two months for free. Important: annual and monthly passes in the Moscow International Business Center (“Moscow City”) zone are not valid in 2019. No one can say for sure what things will be like next year, 2019, but there is an assumption that the situation will not change. In addition, it should be noted that parking in Moscow on weekends and weekdays is not free. It is possible that this will appear in the future, but it is unlikely.

Free parking

There are exceptions to every rule, and for certain categories of citizens, parking in Moscow on weekends and weekdays can be completely free, without restrictions. So, paid parking in Moscow on weekends will be provided free of charge for the following categories of citizens:

• employees of operational services, namely firefighters, police officers, ambulance and emergency medical teams, emergency services, Ministry of Emergency Situations, FSB, investigative agencies, military traffic police;
• participants of the Second World War, minor prisoners of concentration camps, participants in the defense of Moscow in the Second World War.
• For people who fall into the categories described above, parking is always free, not only on holidays and weekends.
• Preferential categories
• In addition to the cases described above, the following citizens receive parking benefits:
• disabled people - parking is free in specially designated areas (as a rule, there are special markings);
• parents of large families;
• adoptive parents in large families;
• electric vehicle and two-wheeler owners;
• residents in municipal (dormitory) areas.

Separately, it is necessary to clarify regarding such a preferential category as residents. They are:

• apartment owner;
• people who are registered at a particular address;
• people who have a lease agreement at the address for at least a year.

It is impossible to determine for sure whether parking is free on weekends. Everything will depend on the area, the social status of the car owner and the time of day.

Payment Methods

You can pay for renting a parking space in several ways:

• through a parking meter, which is installed directly in the parking lot. But, this method is only advisable if you have a parking or bank card;
• through the application (here for apple, and here for android.)
• replenishment of a virtual account - when parking, a certain amount of money will simply be automatically debited;
• through a single portal “Moscow Parking Space”. Here you will need to register and all further operations will be carried out through your personal account.
• by transferring the annual subscription fee.

In other words, paying for the service is very simple and takes just a couple of minutes.

Parking and rides

For those drivers who use a vehicle only when traveling long distances (for example, if a person lives outside the city and uses his car only to get to the city, and then uses public transport), there is an alternative - intercept parking. They are usually located near metro stations, bus stops and other places of public transport.

Such parking lots have their advantages, namely:

• much cheaper than regular paid parking;
• work around the clock and seven days a week;
• per day pricing is used - the car is left in the morning and picked up in the evening.

Such parking lots are subordinate to the Moscow Metro. In order to use this service, you will need to issue a special card. It should be noted that if the owner loses such a certificate, he will have to pay a fine for issuing a new one - 500 rubles.

Peculiarities

However, it should be noted that intercept parking is not suitable for all vehicles, namely:

• motorcycles;
• mopeds;
• trucks;
• trucks;
• passenger vehicles with trailers;
• faulty, which is in tow;
• without registration plates;
• a vehicle weighing more than 3.5 tons or having more than 8 seats.

You should also pay attention to the following factors:

• the interception parking area has its own rules of movement - speed no more than 10 km/h;
• regardless of the location of the parking lot, the tariff and operating hours are the same;
• Partial hour of using a parking space is still paid at the full rate;
• You can pay for services only in the territory of the intercepting parking lot;
• information on tariffs can be found on the facade of the building or checked with the controller;
• If you lose your card, you must immediately notify the parking attendant;
• Bicycle owners can use the parking lot for free.

It should also be noted that the Metropolitan is not responsible for vehicles. There is also no question of an agreement on a storage contract. However, such parking lots are equipped with CCTV cameras and there is a security guard on the premises.

Terms of use

Using the interceptor is very simple and consists of the following algorithm of actions:

• Before you drive in, you must press a special button on the counter. After this, the owner receives a special card;
• When leaving the parking lot, you must pay for the service - a card is inserted into the counter and the amount is automatically debited from it, according to the established tariff. After payment, the barrier automatically rises and exit is free;
• When using a free tariff, you must register your trips in a special terminal (there can be no more than two).

You can get acquainted with the localization of intercepting parking lots on the website metro-parking.ru.

Price

There are three tariffs in total; they are the same for all intercepting parking lots in the capital:

Parking and rides are an excellent alternative for those who use their car only in the morning and evening.

Towing a car from a parking lot

If the owner of the vehicle violates the rules for using a parking space, the car may be towed, and the driver himself may receive a fine. You can find out exactly about the rules of use and the consequences of violating these regulations on the State Services website.

There are several general rules, for violation of which the car can be towed to the impound lot:

• for stopping at a turn before and after the parking zone;
• at the pedestrian crossing before entering/exiting the parking lot;
• when parking in the second row;
• on a nearby sidewalk;
• on a nearby traffic island;
• if the car is parked in a space for disabled people, but does not have the appropriate sticker;
• if the car is parked in such a way that other cars cannot leave/enter.

Fine

If the car owner still violates the rules, he will have to pay a fine and only then pick up his vehicle. As a rule, notification of the imposition of a sanction is sent by mail to the specified registration address. However, if the owner has subscribed via SMS, the message arrives immediately with the following information– address of the impound lot, telephone number of the traffic police.

The amount of the fine is regulated by the Rules traffic and regulations that are established by the parking lot itself. It should be noted that in addition to the collection amount itself, the vehicle owner will also have to pay the cost of evacuation, transportation and storage. You can pay the fine at any bank branch or through a terminal.
