How do I get disabled parking badges?
The Blue Badge Scheme allows people with severe walking difficulties or sight impairments to park closer to their destination. It is recognised throughout Europe. The concessions provided vary from country to country however, and may not be the same as in the UK. Further information about the individual country’s parking concessions is available on the Department for Transport website www.dft.gov.uk.
You can apply for the Blue Badge Scheme by contacting your local council in the first instance.
If you currently use a Blue Badge it may be worth taking it with you if you are travelling to Europe by car or intend to hire a car while away. No concessions currently exist in countries outside Europe.
