Subscribers to the service can use a smartphone app to locate the nearest vehicle at any time of the day or night. The vehicle can be dropped off anywhere in the Principality.

Getting around by car
In Monaco, it is recommended to leave your vehicle in one of the numerous car parks. The Principality has 40 car parks with spaces for a total of 15,500 vehicles. All of the car parks are underground and staffed by security guards, offering the best option for parking your vehicle. Although there is a charge for using most of the car parks in Monaco, they are a relatively easy and attractive solution. All of the “Monaco Parking” car parks offer one hour’s free parking.
