How to use the parking meter in Ponta Delgada? Tips & Tricks to parking on Sao Miguel Island
Don’t get me wrong: the usage of parking meters in Ponta Delgada looks and is, in fact, very easy. However, I have assisted over 10 tourists already, so I thought it is time to create a quick „How to”.
In the main cities, viewpoints, and at main sights the parking is effortless. There are visitor parking lots available everywhere.
Please note, that – unless it is clearly indicated to be a parking area – parking on the side of the road is not allowed.
Remember: only park at the designated areas.
Hint: after parking the car, take a moment to remember the registration number (license plate).
So, let’s get started with this meter.
- Enter the registration number of your car
- Press the green checkmark
- Check for how long you would like to park and how much this will cost. Above the keys you see a table displaying the parking fee & duration information
- Insert the coins
- Press the green checkmark
- Put the printed ticket on the dashboard of your car
I hope this is helpful. If you think so, please like and share this post so that this information gets to those who need it the most.
P.S. These meters – for which this user manual is intended – are found mostly in Ponta Delgada. There are other parking lots on the island with traditional parking meters.
