Arriving by car: parking, ZTL, and what to expect
Hostel Brikette has no on-site parking. If you bring a car, arrange parking separately and plan the journey from the garage to Via Guglielmo Marconi 358 with your bags.
For a short stay spent in Positano, compare the full cost and effort of storing the car with arriving by public transport. A garage booking and permission to drive are separate checks.

| Plan | Useful when | Include in the decision |
|---|---|---|
| Store the car in Positano | You need it for a wider road trip | Confirmed garage space, total quote, vehicle access and the walk with bags |
| Park outside town and continue without it | You can leave the car for the whole stay | Permission for multi-day parking, transfers for everyone, last return service and luggage |
| Use a street bay | A signed space permits your vehicle and stay | Current signs, payment, maximum stay and an alternative if unavailable |
Check SS163 restrictions and Positano's ZTL separately
The municipality's 2026 SS163 notice describes a 10:00–18:00 restriction on applicable days: use the plate's last numeric digit, ignoring letters. Vehicles with an odd last digit cannot drive on odd-numbered dates; those with an even last digit cannot drive on even-numbered dates. Check the dated calendar for your journey with the municipality; do not treat April–October as one continuous restriction.
The notice includes guests with a valid accommodation booking only for necessary arrival and departure journeys. Keep confirmation available and confirm how the exception applies to your journey before driving. Plan other car journeys against the applicable rules.
Positano's 20 May 2026 ZTL guide describes the registration and paid-access procedure for motor vehicles with six or more seats, including the driver, and qualifying buses. Check the registered seat count, even if fewer people are travelling, and use the official guidance with your rental company or transfer operator. Follow current signs and other access restrictions for the actual route.
Plan the final approach before setting off
Arrange the garage and a lawful stopping plan before entering town. Confirm any proposed unloading point with the garage or property; do not assume you can stop at a bus stop, bend, junction or the hostel entrance.
Use the Chiesa Nuova approach guide for the final main-road walk toward number 358. The hostel entrance has stairs; the walk from your garage is an additional route to plan.
Bag drop for guests checking in starts at 10:30, subject to space. Enrol through the guest app and ensure the hostel has received agreement to the storage terms. Room check-in is 15:00–22:00. The luggage-storage guide explains the arrangements.
Contact the garage directly for your vehicle and dates
Ask each operator for the total price for your exact entry and exit times, including any extra-day or late-collection charges. Confirm dimensions, roof equipment, key handover, access to the stored car and payment methods. Use the garage's current terms rather than a general nightly range.
Anna's booking page uses vehicle-size categories and says a reservation is invalid if payment fails. Confirm that your booking is actually complete. The operator contacts are independent parking services; arrange the separate route from the garage to the hostel.
| Operator and official contact | Published address | Check before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Parcheggio Anna | Viale Pasitea 173/A | Correct car-size category, total price, payment confirmation, cancellation and retrieval arrangements |
| Parking Positano Di Gennaro | Viale Pasitea 1 | Vehicle acceptance, written quote, reservation confirmation and collection arrangements |
Use signed spaces rather than an unverified free-parking tip
Use a street space only when the current signs permit your vehicle for the intended duration. Check any resident or permit restrictions, payment and maximum stay before leaving the car. An unmarked roadside gap does not establish permission to park.
For parking outside Positano, confirm that the specific garage or car park permits your whole stay and that you can retrieve the car when needed. Add transfers, bags and the return connection to the cost comparison; outside-town parking is not automatically cheaper.
Leave room for delays and onward travel
Keep essential medicines, documents and a small day bag with you before handing over keys. Check the walking route and avoid a tight onward connection after collecting the car.
If continuing from Sorrento or Salerno by public transport, check the actual service for your date and a workable alternative if it is unavailable. Use the public-transport guide and SITA ticket guidance.
For a ferry arrival, follow the full dock-to-hostel route. Any porter assistance is separately agreed and subject to availability; entrance stairs remain part of arrival.
Before you drive
- Save the garage confirmation, property address and official restriction links before travelling.
- Confirm the exact vehicle and collection time with the garage, then plan the luggage route.
- Choose the arrival option using the whole journey cost and the services available on your date.
FAQs
Does Hostel Brikette have parking?
The hostel has no on-site parking. Book or identify a separate lawful parking option and plan the final walk to Via Guglielmo Marconi 358, including entrance stairs.
How far ahead should I reserve a garage?
Ask the operator once your dates and vehicle are known. Confirm the booking, total price and cancellation terms; no fixed lead time guarantees availability.
Can I park for just a few hours?
Ask the garage for an exact-time quote, or use a signed bay whose rules permit that stay. Check minimum charges, maximum stay and collection times before leaving the car.
Does a garage booking cover the driving restrictions?
Check road access separately. The SS163 plate/date rule and Positano's ZTL procedure have different scopes. Use the current municipal sources and confirm any arrival/departure exception for your actual journey.
Can I unload luggage at the hostel before parking?
Confirm a lawful stopping arrangement first; the guide does not designate a loading bay. Bag drop for checking-in guests starts at 10:30 subject to space, guest-app enrolment and receipt of agreement to the terms. Room check-in is 15:00–22:00.
