Hour – 5 Eur
Lid Skersytė, a public relations representative for Lidl Lietuva, told Delfi that the retail chain takes the position that the parking lots next to the store are primarily intended for customers and not residents of nearby apartment buildings.
“We want shopping to be as convenient as possible, so we have set rates for longer parking in some parking lots. We have a total of 54 stores in Lithuania, less than half of the adjoining sites are taxed, a total of 23” , he assured.
The spokeswoman said that in most cases, the charge is charged after 1.5 hours both during the day and at night, since that time, as she stressed, is sufficient for shopping.
“During winter, especially in the presence of snow, the parking lot is cleaned at night, so cars parked overnight would cause difficulties to perform this function qualitatively,” said L. Skersytė.
It is true that if you plan to leave your car overnight in one of the parking lots of this retail chain, you should know that the parking time is from 11 pm at night until 7 pm in the morning it costs 5 euros, and the price, according to the representative, has not changed recently.
L. Skersytė could not specify how much the retail chain charges for car parking, because, as he said, the parking lots are managed by the Unipark company.
For half an hour – 2 euros, it also applies to the police.
Ernesta Dapkienė, director of the Department of Communication and Image of Maxima, also affirmed that the parking lots near Maxima stores are intended for customers who come to shop, and whether they are equipped with automatic barriers on the road or not, they are parking for duration limited. .
“Automatic road barriers are currently installed in six Maxima stores in Vilnius, as well as in Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys and Palanga.
Guests arriving to shop at the Maxima stores can park for free for 2-3 hours, depending on the specific location. To avoid misunderstandings, we ask customers to pay attention to the free parking time.

This duration is determined by the fact that the buyer can buy comfortably and without haste. For example, in the larger Maxima stores, the free parking time is longer than in the smaller stores, ”he said.
E. Dapkienė also explained that charging for additional parking time is not new, such a charge has been calculated for several years and the fees for additional parking time depend on the specific location.
“For example, in Vilnius, additional taxes are calculated every half hour and the price reaches 2 euros,” he said.
A spokeswoman for the retail chain said that it is generally forbidden to leave cars in stores overnight, mainly because parking lots are cleaned outside the store’s opening hours, which would prevent cars from doing cleaning.
“In cases where the car is parked at the Maxima store for a few days or more, we contact the police to pick it up, but these are rare cases,” he said.
Did an experiment
Mindaugas Žilinskas, head of Rimi Lietuva’s real estate department, said that the first taxed parking in this network was in 2015, and today there are eight.
“The decision to install a barrier system was made to ensure that buyers have the opportunity to park their cars comfortably without major problems.
Prior to the installation of the barrier, the neighbors of the neighboring houses and the employees of the nearby institutions left their cars in the parking lots indefinitely, which made it difficult for buyers to find vacancies, ”he explained.
According to M. Žilinskas, most of the car parks managed by the Rimi network allow customers to leave their cars for two hours free of charge, in exceptional cases one to one and a half hours.
“Each additional hour costs 2 Eur,” he said, assuring her that prices hadn’t changed recently.
The spokesperson also said that last fall, Rimi gave away a car at one of the stores from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. Morning free of construction and neighboring neighbors.
“This is the first attempt to open up the site to the surrounding community and thus help address the lack of parking in this area of the capital.
We will evaluate the results of this test and, if we do not face abuse, we will definitely consider expanding this service to other objects in the Rimi network, “he said. Rent a parking space for a longer period.
According to M. Žilinskas, there are also cases where cars have to be removed from parking lots.
“There are cases where cars, including those that are obviously old, are no longer used, left indefinitely and have to be towed,” he said.

Build office workers
Vaida Budrienė, communication manager of the Iki retail chain, indicated that several different parking lots are installed next to the stores of this chain.
“Some of them are unregulated, parking is free. Most of these sites are close to Iki stores. At night, parking in them is restricted by KET signs.
Other car parks are operated by third parties and have barriers and license plate scanning systems. “2 hours, which is enough even for large purchases, does not cost customers in these parking lots, and the car can be left here for a longer period of time, paying between 1 and 2 euros per hour,” he said.
According to V. Budrienė, the decision to charge or not to charge the site is generally made by monitoring the flows and the needs of the buyers. As stated, if cars are seen to be parked in parking lots, say the employees of the surrounding offices, then generally those parking lots are taxed. The prices of the sites themselves in the stores vary depending on the location of the store.
“In the central part of the city, where there are many offices, larger flows, without using the store, after 2 hours, the third hour costs up to 2.5 Eur. In other places, it costs around 1 euro,” he said. .
Of the 150 stores collected 5
Darfa Ryliškis, a representative from Norfa, stated that of the 150 operational Norfa stores, there are paid parking in only five: 4 in Vilnius and 1 in Klaipėda, and an additional hour of parking after 1.5 hours. or 2 hours, it costs from 0.5 EUR to 1 EUR per hour.
“There are very few sites taxed, we have 150 Norfs, so only 5 sites are taxed.
It was decided not only for us, all because we had problems with the cars left by the residents, when there were problems with buyers who wanted to park the car there but had no place. That is why it was decided that way ”, he commented.
