Furthermore, some ANM car parks also offer additional services such as luggage storage, bicycle rental, access to toilets and the possibility of recharging electric vehicles.
Users can pay for parking directly in cash or by credit card at the automatic cash machines in each car park. You can also pay via the ANM Park app, available for smartphones, which allows you to book parking and pay conveniently in cashless mode.

Furthermore, users of ANM car parks can take advantage of discounts and agreements in various shops and businesses in the city, thanks to the ANM Card, free for all holders of an ANM public transport electronic card.
For the list of all the ANM car parks located in Naples, I left you the link to the article on the official website where you can find out prices and details. We of the editorial staff tried the parking in the Vomero district.
