The ticket machine at the Maritim showed for my bill 109 Euro and I did not have enough 20 Euro notes, so I went to the Hotel registration.
They told me that I can pay there too - and get a discount because I had a room in the Hotel. I payed 79 Euro (including the days für early arrival/late departure).
I hope nobody used the machine in the garage.
-
Arf, i payed 108 Euro als the Desk :/
-
I only payed 80eur at the front desk including the early-arrival and late-departure -days.
They said simething about giving me a special prive "like the ohers".
I guess that was not possible via the machine or noone though of people
paying >100eur parking fees in cash (no cards) at the machine.

Ouch. That was, like, the entire confee for EF 9.

I was parking at the point #4, which doco told us. One week, only 19,20 €. The negative thing was, that the way from the parkingplace "Maybachstrasse" to the hotel, was a little bit long if you had much of baggage. But for this "student prices", it would be the best parking. And for the other fuzzes, which travelled by a bus, too.
Thanks for telling.

@Dragony: You could also just park at the hotel for an hour, unload your luggage and then drive to point #4, saves you the trouble of dragging all your stuff along for the walk. Short stay was 1,50 for an hour, and 1 for every additional.

parking prices at the Maritim were horrible

I did that on Monday, on late department. That was very great. At the early arrival, I was a little bit stupid to check this 9.6

Actually, that was not really a discount: 79 Euros is the price for a monthly parking pass, and that's just what you got (although the ticket was limited to the time of the convention). But yes, I hope that everyone knew about this :P
-
Well, can say we didn't knew about that. But we had the car moved the day after arrival, we parked just across the street, not the cheapest parking lot, but way cheaper then Maritim parking.
By the way, we were parked less then a day at Maritim and we already had to pay 18 euros :o Parking lot across from maritim was 30 euros, until late departure ;D
-
as just said accidenlty in another post before i saw this thread.
we got to allmost 130€, but since we did not get taht information in time, we couldn't go to the reception.
the 79 including early and late sounded a LOT better tho.Actually, that was not really a discount: 79 Euros is the price for a monthly parking pass, and that's just what you got (although the ticket was limited to the time of the convention). But yes, I hope that everyone knew about this :P
appearently not. and we didn't find any of that information in english anywere ither.
we know perfect swedish, and perfect english. and not a word german.

I wonder how so many people did not know about this, since it was advertised in this thread: https://forum.eurofurence.org/index.php/topic,2186.0.html
I mean going to a new location, it only seems logical to me that you check the travel board about important information regarding your travel?
And even when you walked to the elevators there were signs going:
Parking first hour: 1,50
Every additional hour: 1,00
Day: 18,00
Month: 67,00 (Or something, with an explanation about this offer).
I parked in the City Carree and paid at the desk since the machine wouldn't accept my money. The guy behind the counter made a little discount too and wondered if we would be back last year, since he found the whole ordeal very amusing.

you might wanna try reading that again. nothing about month, or even day for that matter. even less so bout disscounts on exception for 1 of the areas.
edit: ok, /day i just saw, but still nothing bout weekly/monthly. and after bout 16h in a car, u don't have brains enough och energy to start asking questions, then it just fell out of mind. not to add that it was hard enough just to get some personal to even understand even basic english. so as i said, need clearifying, very easy to read signs, in english, not just for me, you can't assume everyone knows german.

If you don't see the fees posted (but, yes, they are,) how about going to the hotel reception desk and ask before leaving your car in the garage for more than an hour?
-
I, took parked at the City Carree. It was 9 Euro per day maximum, and my whole stay was 45 Euro via the ticket machine.
I do not recall who it was who suggested I park there, but thank you very much for the tip.
-

I don't know. Going to Germany, are you really going there and expecting them to know another language, but their native one? That's a bit naïve. Of course it's a good thing if people working in service oriented businesses, like hotels are, to know more than one language. And sure, today knowing English is a fairly safe bet. But assuming they do, no... don't. Stay home or go to a place where you absolutely know you'll be understood, or learn the language which is natively spoken in the country you're going to. </rant>
Anyway, we did find a fairly okay parking, not too far away from the hotel and at a fairly okay price. At a level which was well within budgeted for the four of us who went there.
-
well I parked at city caree and they have been awfully nice to me. Next time Ill be there again =)

The top tip about the Maritim parking (getting it sorted at reception for cheaper rates) seemed to work at the City Carré too. I had to go to the attendant booth as the machine kept on spitting out my bank notes again and again despite the fact they were nice, crisp notes. The booth is located on the barrier floor - drive up to the barriers and park up just out of the way. Turn around and go up the slight slope and you'll see the glass booth where the attendant sits. I don't know the reason why, but when I presented my ticket he asked for 30€ as opposed to the 36€ the machine was asking me for. And it wasn't a one-off - I went with someone to pick their car up from the car park and their 36€ ticket turned into 30€. So... thought I'd share that tip! :)
-
The warden there seemed to be very amused, he rounded mine down to the nearest 10fold also and asked if we would be back next year.
-
There was a huge parking area not too far from the hotel (when you turn right and go down the street a bit, on the left side) where parking for one week was only 10 Euros. You could easily unload your luggage, park your car there and walk back to the hotel. :)
-
Went to the Maritime parking place to unload and load my bags. Only costs like 1,50 euro per hour so that is doable. For the long term I did the City Carree. Easy to reach and a cheaper price. What was nice is that the parking guard gave me 10 euro discount :D. He was looking forward to seeing us again next year. So just a piece of advice. If you park there, then pay at the parking guards office, show your EuroFurence badge and he might give you discount :).
