Guarded car park in Italy

Guarded car park in Italy

Guarded car park in Italy provides the presence of two different types of structures:

  • Some large private professional companies operating in large structures
  • And a large amount of small local car parks operators.

Guarded car park in Italy in large structures

Guarded car park in Italy in large structures is managed by public or private companies. The presence of these parks has been developed especially near ports, airports, and train stations.

This is due to the difficult to build these facilities in the city, where the public administration has often found important archaeological finds during excavations that preceded their construction.

The organization of car spaces is automated and the presence of the valet staff occurs with greater concentration in the checkout area for payment (almost always automatic) while it is more difficult to meet the staff along the stalls used to stop.

These types of parking are also commercial and provide parking spaces in exchange for payment of an hourly rate.

Guarded car park in Italy in small local car parkings

These types of parking are predominantly family-run and represent a whole Italian reality, unlike what happens in other European countries.

These parkings were built in the 60s, during the motorization’s index of the local population increased. This is due mainly to the craft initiative to satisfy the parking’s needs  of Italian cities.

In the historic centers of towns and large cities, the governments of municipality, due to the high concentration of monuments, found great difficulty in achieving modern and large car parks and these mini parkings were, and still they are, an answer to the shortage of parking spaces in urban areas.

Foreign guestsMany European tourists when they arrive in Milan, Florence, Rome etc. and they enter into these garages are surprised; the car parks in which they are used are totally different.

Their parking lots, in fact, have greater dimensions, the mechanization of organizational processes is almost complete and the staff is almost exclusively in the management’s office where there are automatic cashes.

In small local car parks, however, the attendants are present in the heart of the structure and favor customers dealing directly with the storage and custody of the vehicle, as required by the Fire safety rules for operating the Public Garage (Ministerial Decree of 1 February 1986).

The service, the territorial capillarity and the real custody of vehicles from people who experience the daily parking are behind the success of these small structures and even the doubters tourists, once you understand the reasons, avail themselves of the pleasure of this service .
