Knowing where to park car rentals in Vientiane is essential for a stress-free trip. There is plenty of street parking available, but you need to understand the signs. For example, a blue sign with a vertical white line with a red slash through it means no parking on odd calendar dates, while the same sign with two vertical white lines means no parking on even dates. A curb painted red and white means you may never park there, but a curb painted black and white means you may park there for free at any time. A curb painted yellow and white means you can park there temporarily. You can also find public lots throughout the city at most attractions, and the charge will depend on the location. The Vientiane Railway Station is the best secured public parking in the area, charging about 10,000₭ ($0.51) per hour. Otherwise, many hotels in the area offer free parking to guests.
