Hi Feruccio

That’s good to hear you used your parking permit so successfully overseas. The rules are different around the world. We couldn’t use ours in New Zealand and we were told to apply for a specific NZ one.

I used my disability parking permit in 2011 & 2013 in France ,Italy,Germany ,Austria ,Belgium,Luxembourg ,Monaco and did not have a problem ,never purchased any tickets all areas free just applied the same rules as I do in Australia. The only issue I ever had was in Hobart Tasmania September 2019. Got fined apparently had to pay for a 2 hour ticket then free all day after that. Appealed and had the fine suspended.

When we were in Orlando, we used “Wheelchair vans of America” for wheelchair accessible car hire. It was ENORMOUS and you had to be very brave to drive it, but they provided a very good service.
