Parking in Monaco can seem challenging in a territory of only 2 km², where traffic is dense and space is highly valuable. However, the Principality offers a network of modern, secure public car parks designed to accommodate residents, visitors, and professionals. In this guide, we reveal everything you need to know to park with peace of mind: number of car parks, rates, subscriptions, services, and practical tips.
How many car parks are there in Monaco?
Monaco boasts an exceptional network of underground car parks, a true engineering feat for such a small territory. There are currently 46 public car parks, offering nearly 20,000 parking spaces, not counting spaces reserved for two-wheelers. By the end of 2025, this figure will have reached 22,000 spaces, thanks to the opening of new facilities such as the Salines car park and the parks in the Mareterra district. In addition, there are approximately 1,000 on-street parking spaces, generally limited to short stops.
As a real estate agency in Monaco, we also offer private parking spaces for sale and long-term rental—an ideal solution for residents seeking absolute comfort and a secure investment within their own residence.
How much does parking cost in Monaco?
Public car parks in Monaco have relatively uniform pricing, with some exceptions. The first hour is often free in most car parks, and then the standard rate is €2.70 per hour. Certain “premium” facilities, such as the Abeilles car park, can charge up to €5 per hour. For a full day, expect a flat rate between €30 and €35.
For longer stays, there is a highly cost-effective park-and-ride option: Les Salines, located at the western entrance to Monaco. It offers packages starting from €7.50 for 4 hours or €11 for a full day. This is an economical way to avoid the most congested areas. It also includes a free shuttle service with two lines running respectively to Place d’Armes and the Tourist Office via the Sainte-Dévote bridge.
Subscriptions: A solution for residents and employees
For those who park regularly, monthly subscriptions are the most convenient option. In 2025, resident subscriptions cost around €115 to €125 per month, while employees can opt for a “work” package at €105 per month for 300 hours of parking. Weekly subscriptions are also available from €70, particularly useful for business visitors or extended stays.
To obtain a subscription, you must apply to the Monaco Public Car Parks Service. The procedure is usually completed online via the official Monaco Government portal or by appointment at the dedicated office. The required documents vary according to your status:
- Residents: Proof of residence in the Principality (utility bill, rental contract, or property deed), ID, and vehicle registration.
- Employees: Employer’s certificate confirming the workplace in Monaco, vehicle registration, and ID.
Once the application is approved, an access badge is issued, allowing free entry and exit from the chosen car park. Important: The number of spaces per car park is limited, and demand is very high in certain areas. Waiting times can reach up to 5 years for the most sought-after car parks. It is therefore strongly recommended to apply as early as possible and to check availability in peripheral car parks such as Les Salines, where waiting times are usually shorter. Alternatively, you can also contact our sales team to find a private parking space.
Services and comfort in Monaco’s car parks
Monaco doesn’t just provide functional car parks—the Principality focuses on comfort and safety. Almost all car parks are equipped with CCTV and have staff on-site 24/7, ensuring optimal security. Modern elevators make access easy, and each car park includes spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility (PRM), usually located near pedestrian access and elevators. These spaces comply with regulatory dimensions (often over 3.30 m wide) to provide maximum comfort, and some are equipped with emergency call devices.
Electromobility is also a key priority, with electric vehicle charging stations available in most car parks. Some are free up to 3 kW, while others, with higher power, require a subscription. Sprinkler systems have been installed to ensure safety in areas equipped with charging stations, notably in the Carmes and Papalins car parks.
Lastly, each car park displays its maximum height—an essential factor for SUV or utility vehicle drivers. While some ceilings are limited to 1.90 m, facilities such as the Digue or Salines car parks offer heights up to 2.60 m.
