--- title: "Florence ZTL for motorhomes (2026): cost, sectors, fines, routing" description: "Florence ZTL for motorhomes in 2026: €5 a day transit pass via SAS Servizi alla Strada (online only), Mon-Fri 07:30-20:00 + Saturday 07:30-16:00 across sectors A/B/O, summer-night ZTL April-October, fines €80-€335 (€61.6m issued to tourists in 2024)." canonical: https://rovee.io/topic/florence-ztl-motorhome/ last_updated: 2026-06-18 --- # Florence ZTL for motorhomes (2026): cost, sectors, fines, routing > Florence is the most-fined ZTL city in Italy — not because the enforcement is unfair, but because the geography is uniquely hostile to consumer navigation. The historic centre is small, dense, and surrounded by camera-monitored entry points; Google Maps will route a motorhome through the Piazza del Duomo with no warning. The €61.6 million figure is the 2024 city total; the 63% tourist share is the line in the budget that travel writers quote most often. Last updated: **2026-06-18**. ## Short answer Florence's ZTL is organized into five sectors — A, B, O for the daytime zone, plus F and G added during the summer-night ZTL (April–October). The daytime ZTL runs Monday to Friday 07:30–20:00 and Saturday 07:30–16:00; Sunday is free. Summer-night enforcement covers Thursday–Sunday nights 23:00–03:00. The daily transit pass is €5, purchased online through SAS Servizi alla Strada. Fines run €80–€335 per violation; in 2024 the city issued approximately €61.6 million in ZTL fines, 63% paid by tourists. ## TL;DR — the four things to know 1. **€5 a day, online only.** Daily transit pass through SAS Servizi alla Strada ([serviziallastrada.it](https://www.serviziallastrada.it/contrassegni-online-ztl)). A €15 tier adds resident-spot parking (rarely relevant for motorhomes). No SMS, no tobacconist channel — registration required before the first purchase. 2. **Hours — Mon-Fri 07:30-20:00, Saturday 07:30-16:00.** Sectors A, B, O daytime. Sunday daytime free. The Saturday 16:00 early-close is the cluster's second early-close pattern after Milan's Thursday 18:00. 3. **Summer-night ZTL — April 2 → October 4.** All five sectors active Thursday-Sunday nights 23:00 to 03:00. Largest source of unexpected tourist fines. 4. **Fines €80-€335.** In 2024 Florence issued ~€61.6 million in ZTL fines; ~63% paid by tourists. The pattern is structural — consumer maps route visitors through the perimeter routinely. ## What Florence's ZTL is (sectors + seasons) Florence's ZTL is the most structurally complex of the four Italian cluster cities. The historic centre is divided into **five lettered sectors**, each with its own camera array and enforcement window. - **Daytime ZTL:** sectors A, B, O — active Mon-Fri 07:30–20:00 and Sat 07:30–16:00. - **Summer-night ZTL:** all five sectors A, B, O, F, G — active Apr 2 → Oct 4 only, Thursday-Sunday nights 23:00–03:00. System administered by the Comune di Firenze with day-to-day operation by SAS — Servizi alla Strada. The mobilita.comune.fi.it site is the canonical Italian-language reference; SAS publishes shorter EN-language pages for tourist coaches and visitor access. ## Cost — €5 a day for transit, €15 with parking - **€5 per day — transit only.** Authorizes the vehicle to enter and move through the ZTL during the active window. Does NOT include parking in resident spaces. - **€15 per day — transit + parking.** Adds resident-space parking. Rarely relevant for motorhomes. - **Per day, not per crossing.** Valid 00:00 to 24:00 on the chosen day. €5 is the cheapest daily ZTL pass in the Italian cluster (vs Milan €7.50, Bologna €6, Palermo €20 petrol/diesel). But the SAS online-only channel makes it the hardest to buy at short notice. ## Hours — Mon-Fri + Saturday 16:00 close | Day | Active hours (sectors A/B/O) | |---|---| | **Monday** | 07:30 — 20:00 | | **Tuesday** | 07:30 — 20:00 | | **Wednesday** | 07:30 — 20:00 | | **Thursday** | 07:30 — 20:00 | | **Friday** | 07:30 — 20:00 | | **Saturday** | 07:30 — **16:00** (early close) | | **Sunday** | free for daytime ZTL (summer-night still applies in season) | | **Italian public holidays** | varies by holiday — check the SAS portal | A Saturday morning arrival at 11:00 is charged. A Saturday afternoon arrival at 16:30 is free. ## The summer-night ZTL (April–October) From **2 April to 4 October**, Florence adds a summer-night ZTL on top of the daytime weekday zone — the largest source of unexpected fines for visitors. | Window | Hours | |---|---| | **Thursday night** | 23:00 — 03:00 (Friday morning) | | **Friday night** | 23:00 — 03:00 (Saturday morning) | | **Saturday night** | 23:00 — 03:00 (Sunday morning) | | **Sunday + weekday nights** | not active | Sectors A, B, O, F, G all active. Sectors F and G are night-only — daytime they do not enforce. Same €5 daily pass covers the summer-night ZTL on the chosen day. The most-missed scenario: leaving a Friday-night dinner in the centre and driving back to a perimeter campsite. If the route crosses sector F or G, the camera ticks it over. ## The sectors — A, B, O for day, plus F, G for night | Sector | Coverage | Active | |---|---|---| | **A** | Dense medieval centre — Piazza del Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio approach | Daytime + summer-night | | **B** | Eastern centre — Santa Croce, Sant'Ambrogio | Daytime + summer-night | | **O** | Oltrarno — Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens approach, Santo Spirito | Daytime + summer-night | | **F** | Wider centro storico approach roads | Summer-night only | | **G** | Additional approach roads | Summer-night only | Sector maps are published at [mobilita.comune.fi.it](https://mobilita.comune.fi.it/muoversi/muoversi/ztl.html). Pre-trip planning on the official map is the practical safeguard — boundaries follow specific streets, not ring-road geometry. ## Fines — €80 base, up to €335 - **Range:** €80 to €335 per violation per primary-source verification. - **2024 city total:** ~€61.6 million issued in ZTL fines. - **Tourist share:** ~63% of revenue paid by tourists. - **Delivery:** by post, 30 to 90 days after the trip, addressed to the registered vehicle owner. Italian-language letter with a SEPA payment line. - **Appeal:** 60 days to the Prefetto or 30 days to the Giudice di Pace. Italian-language paperwork. The scale reflects geography, not aggressive enforcement. The fix is the €5 pass through SAS, or do not enter. ## How to pay — SAS Servizi alla Strada (online only) - **Official portal:** [serviziallastrada.it/contrassegni-online-ztl](https://www.serviziallastrada.it/contrassegni-online-ztl). The only purchase channel. - **Payment:** credit card. Accepts foreign cards. Works from outside Italy. - **Validity:** 00:00 to 24:00 on the day selected at purchase. - **Activation:** pass is bound to the vehicle plate at purchase. No separate activation step. - **Hotel-issued access:** hotels inside the ZTL can authorize guests separately. Confirm with the specific hotel before the trip. Plan the SAS account registration *before* the trip. Last-minute registration from a rural Tuscan campsite with patchy 4G is the failure mode to avoid. ## What this means for a motorhome trip - **Rig dimensions:** Florence's medieval centre is the tightest of the four cluster cities. A motorhome over 6 m loses practical manoeuvrability regardless of the pass. For most rigs the right answer is "do not enter." - **Trip cost:** €5/day is the cheapest in the cluster but requires SAS registration. Park-and-ride at Villa Costanza P+R (€1.50 + tram) is the practical pattern. - **Routing rules:** the multi-sector geometry plus the summer-night overlay make Florence the hardest of the four cities for consumer maps to handle correctly. A dimension-aware nav app with ZTL sector data avoids the boundary automatically. ## Pick a nav app that knows the sectors - **Sygic Truck & Caravan** — €29.99/year Premium+ for CarPlay. ZTL/LEZ avoidance with Florence sectors in its database. - **TomTom GO Navigation (Camper mode)** — £1.99/month. LEZ avoidance toggleable. - **CoPilot Caravan** — £25.99/year. Mature dimension-aware routing; no CarPlay. - **Rovee** (closed iPhone beta) — €17.99/year founding (first 1,000). Dimension routing + ZTL/LEZ alerts (Florence sectors A/B/O daytime + summer-night F/G included) + toll prediction + vignette warnings. ## FAQ ### How much does Florence ZTL cost for a motorhome?
