Parking hours in certain areas are strictly limited. Depending on the time for which you want to leave the car, you must purchase the appropriate parking ticket.

Parking tickets in Vienna are divided into several types depending on the duration of parking. For the convenience of users, parking tickets have a different color.

![Ill-5.jpg](/uploads/Ill_5_fda3662f3c.jpg)

### Parking rates:

**Pink** Voucher - Free (Can be obtained at any Hotel or Tobacco Shop)
**Red** Ticket - **1.05 Euro**
**Blue** Ticket - **2.10 Euro**
**Green** Talon - **3.15 Euro**
**Yellow** Ticket - **4.20 Euro**

Please note that a parking ticket is required from the first minute of parking, even for short stops, for example, to unload luggage.

For these purposes, there are free 15-minute Tickets (can not be combined with other types of parking tickets)

As of 1 September 2013, the free parking time in Vienna has been increased from 10 to 15 minutes. Despite this, you may come across a parking ticket, which states that its validity is only 10 minutes. Don't worry, in Vienna it will be valid for 15 minutes.

If you use several parking tickets at once, then the same arrival time must be indicated on each of them.

### What does a parking ticket look like?

The parking ticket is a thick sheet of paper approximately 8x17 cm in size. It has 4 vertical fields for marks and one more field at the bottom for entering the current year.

![Ill-7.jpg](/uploads/Ill_7_0abbefca37.jpg)

1. In the first vertical field it is necessary to mark the month (Monat).
2. The second vertical field marks the day (Tag).
3. In the third vertical field it is necessary to mark the hour (Stunde).
4. In the fourth vertical field it is necessary to mark the 15-minute period from which the parking duration (Min) will be counted.
5. In the last fifth field, the current year (Jahr) is entered manually.

This parking ticket shows the following parking times: April 22, 2017 from 15.30 to 17.30

#### **The free parking ticket is slightly different from the paid ones. It only needs to fill in two fields.**

![Ill-8.jpg](/uploads/Ill_8_b1f398c78f.jpg)

1. The **Stunde** field indicates the hour of arrival.
2. The **Minute** field indicates the exact minute of arrival.

### Where could I buy?
#### All types of parking tickets can be purchased:

- at tobacconists
- in cigarette vending machines
- at petrol stations
- at pre-sale points of the Vienna Lines
- at the ticket machines of the Vienna Lines
- at the ARBÖ and ÖAMTC car clubs

Free parking tickets (for 15 minutes) are available at city information offices and citizen service centers (Bürgerdienst). In addition, they may be available at check-in desks in hotels that do not have their own parking.

### Where is located?

Parking tickets must be placed in a clearly visible place behind the windshield or in any other designated place if the place behind the windshield is not clearly visible.

Parking officers can issue a ticket for unpaid parking if the parking ticket is not clearly visible.

### How to fill in the Parking Ticket?

1. The following fields must be clearly marked on the parking ticket:
- month
- day
- hour
- minutes
- filled in the year in the corresponding field

All of the above fields must be completed in order for the parking ticket to become valid.

  2. Always fill in your arrival time. You can round it up to the nearest 15-minute period (for paid parking tickets). For example:
- **arrival time:** 10.06; **note:** 10.15
- **arrival time:** 16.49; **note:** 17.00
  3. Incorrectly completed parking tickets must be disposed of. You cannot make corrections to already completed parking tickets.

  4. When using several parking tickets, you must immediately mark the same arrival time on each of them. For example:
- for parking for 1 hour, from 9.15 to 10.15, you can use 2 red 30-minute parking tickets
- **correct** : it is necessary to mark the same time of arrival on each of them: 9:15 
- **wrong** : you mark 9:15 on the first ticket and 9:45 on the second
- note the minutes
- enter year

When renting a car in Austria, understanding your insurance options is crucial. Two common types of car rental insurance you'll encounter are Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW). This guide aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of both, helping you make an informed decision about your coverage needs.

## What is CDW Insurance?
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is one of the most commonly offered insurance options by [car rental companies](https://bronxrentals.at/blog/top-10-car-rental-companies-in-vienna). Despite its name, CDW is not actually insurance; rather, it is a waiver that reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental car under certain conditions. It covers costs associated with collision damage and theft, but typically not damages to windows, tires, undercarriage, and roof, unless specified otherwise.

**How Does CDW Work?**

When you accept CDW, the rental company waives some or all of its right to charge you for direct damage or loss of the rental car. CDW usually includes a deductible, meaning that you agree to pay the first portion of the repair costs (for example, up to €500) and the rental company covers the remaining costs. However, any damage incurred due to negligence, or in violation of the rental agreement, may not be covered.

**CDW Limitations:**
- **Deductibles**: The deductible is the amount you are liable for in case of damage. This can vary significantly between rental companies.
- **Exclusions**: Common exclusions include damage to the interior, personal belongings, or problems due to driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- **Geographic Restrictions**: Some CDW policies have geographic limitations, restricting where you can drive the rental vehicle.

## What is SCDW Insurance?
Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW) is an optional service offered by many rental companies, which further reduces the deductible payable under a standard CDW. By accepting SCDW, you minimize your financial exposure in case of damage to the vehicle.

**SCDW Advantages:**
- **Lower Deductibles**: SCDW significantly reduces, and sometimes even eliminates, the deductible you need to pay.
- **Greater Coverage**: This waiver may cover parts of the car usually excluded by CDW, such as tires, windscreens, and undercarriage.
- **Peace of Mind**: Opting for SCDW can provide peace of mind, allowing you to drive more relaxed, knowing that your financial risk is minimized.

**Should You Choose CDW or SCDW?**

The decision between CDW and SCDW insurance depends on your personal risk tolerance and budget. Consider the following when making your choice:
- **Length of Rental**: Longer rentals might benefit more from SCDW due to the increased potential for incidental damages.
- **Driving Environment**: Busy urban environments or rugged terrains might increase the risk of damages where SCDW could be beneficial.
- **Personal Comfort**: If you prefer not to worry about potential out-of-pocket costs, SCDW offers added peace of mind.
