You just had a great time exploring Split, but when you returned to where you parked, your car was gone. Well, don’t panic. It has probably been towed due to illegal or inappropriate parking – not stolen.
What are the main reasons for that?
Like every other coastal city, Split is known for its narrow streets, pedestrian areas and neverending lack of parking spaces which leads to creative parking solutions. Due to that, parking in Split is highly regulated to keep the traffic flow.
The main reasons that can get your car towed away by local towing service are blocking the traffic, parking in restricted areas, and parking in spaces reserved for residents. But, no worries, you can get to it very easily.
Where to find it
Towed vehicles in Split are taken to the Split Parking Towing Service lot, located at Pujanke 67A. The facility is open 24/7, so you can get your car at any time. To make sure your car is there, call the towing service at +385-21-376-848. For confirmation, you’ll need to present your licence plate numbers.
How to get it back
Once you’re sure it has been towed away, get to the address of the Towing Service parking lot. To get your car back, you’ll need to present your ID card and vehicle documents and pay the towing fee. Additional costs are possible in case there’s been a parking ticket for illegal parking, along with the towing fee.
Avoid getting towed again
So now that you know there’s a possibility for parking services to remove your car, play smarter! Use designated parking areas and pay for your parking ticket, avoid getting in pedestrian zones by your car and pay attention to street signs to find out if the parking is prohibited. Mobile apps like Split Parking can be much of a help to indicate legal and available parking spots.
Stay informed, follow the parking rules, and enjoy your time in Split without any unexpected experiences!
