The question of parking in the capital is always relevant, because it is very difficult without a car in Kyiv, but where to put the car in crowded and busy city is even more problematic.
Indeed, parking in Kyiv can be a complicated quest, but with the right knowledge and understanding of the rules and peculiarities it can be made easier. In this article we will discuss types and rules of parking in Kyiv, including for rental cars, and give recommendations for proper parking. We will also consider different types of parking, such as parallel, angled and others. With this information you will have everything you need to make your parking in Kyiv as comfortable as possible.
Is municipal parking paid or not?
Yes and no. Municipal parking lots in Kyiv are located in every district of Kyiv and are paid by the hour or by subscription. But they are paid only on weekdays from 8:00 to 20:00, so you do not have to pay for parking at other times, and at any time on weekends.
How much does city parking cost?
Depending on the area, the price per hour will vary:
- Zone I (central part of the city) – 35 UAH/hour.
- II zone (more distant central districts as well as parkings of trade centers, station areas and others) – 25 UAH/hour.
- III zone (other parking spaces) – 5 UAH/hour.
You can also buy daily or monthly passes.
Are there any fines for unpaid parking?
There are. The Parking Inspectorate is responsible for enforcing parking rules, including paying for paid parking spaces. The inspector can check in the database to see if your space is paid for and write you a fine for parking without paying. The fine is 20 times the cost of parking per hour, so we recommend paying for parking to avoid unexpected costs.
How to pay for parking in the capital?
At the moment, cashless payment for city parking is possible with the help of "Privat 24", "Kyiv Tsifrovy", Easy Pay applications, or with the help of the websites ipay.ua and easypay.ua.
Parking for electric cars
With the growing popularity of electric-powered cars, authorities have also begun adapting infrastructure for such more environmentally beneficial transport. In Kyiv, you can see charging stations at large parking lots and parking lots of entertainment centers. Special parking lots for electric vehicles have also appeared, they are marked with special road signs and markings symbolizing electric cars.
Note that in the country there are fines for parking cars with internal combustion engines in the parking spaces for electric cars.
