For people with disabilities, a special parking permit can be issued. The permit can be issued to both disabled individuals who drive motor vehicles themselves and to other disabled individuals who regularly need assistance from the driver outside the vehicle.

Validity, use, and parking fees

A parking permit is valid for a certain period, but for a maximum of 5 years. The parking permit is valid throughout the country and provides:

• The right to park for up to three hours where parking is prohibited or allowed for a shorter period than three hours according to a local traffic regulation.
• The right to park for up to 24 hours where parking is allowed for at least three but less than 24 hours according to a local traffic regulation.
• The right to park in parking spaces reserved for disabled people with parking permits by local traffic regulations, observing the specified maximum parking duration for such a space, and the right to park for up to three hours on a pedestrian street.
• The right to park for up to three hours on a pedestrian street.

When a parking permit for disabled people is used, it should be placed in the front part of the vehicle so that it is clearly visible and readable from the outside.

A parking permit does not entitle parking in a space designated for a specific purpose or type of vehicle.

Parking is not always free of charge in parking spaces for people with parking permits for disabled people.

The parking fee is a municipal matter, decided by the municipal council in each municipality. Regarding the parking fee for parking spaces for people with parking permits for disabled people, the general rule is that a parking fee must be paid.

However, some municipalities in the country do not charge any parking fees for parking spaces intended for people with a valid parking permit. This varies from municipality to municipality. If a customer is unsure about the regulations, they can either check the municipality's website or contact the municipality directly.
