Airport
Lamezia Terme International (SUF), run by SACAL, the operator of the three Calabrian airports. The car hire offices and their car parks are about 100 m from the terminal, immediately on the right as you leave. Source

More than 1,600 spaces: 138 Kiss and Fly bays at EUR 2.00 an hour, plus the automated P1 with 650 spaces and P2 with 560. EUR 3.00 for an hour, EUR 5.00 for 3 hours, EUR 15.00 for 12, EUR 20.00 for 24, EUR 80.00 for seven days, then EUR 8.00 for each further day or part. Source
Tourist tax
The Comune di Lamezia Terme levies none as of October 2026: no imposta di soggiorno act for it appears in the Finance Ministry register of local tax acts for 2022 to 2026, and the comune publishes no tourist-tax page. Source
Tourist tax on the coast
Falerna charges EUR 1.50 per person per day in hotels, residenze turistico-alberghiere and tourist villages and EUR 1.00 in agriturismi, affittacamere, B&Bs, holiday homes and short lets, only from 1 April to 30 September 2026 and for at most 7 consecutive nights. Gizzeria also levies the tax; its amounts are unverified as of October 2026. Source
Licensed stays
Every hotel, B&B and short-let flat has a national identification code (CIN), shown outside the building and in every listing. Calabria's own accommodation code stays in use alongside it. Source
Check-in
Hosts may accept only guests with an identity document or passport, and register each guest with the police within 24 hours. Source

Whether the comune runs paid bays, a limited-traffic zone or pedestrian areas is unverified as of October 2026: its topic pages for parking and ZTL return an error and its mobility page is empty. Ask the host where the car goes. Source

Car and parking

Cars park along both kerbs of Corso Numistrano under a blue parking sign. The comune publishes no tariff for those bays and its ZTL page returns an error, so whether they are paid and whether a limited-traffic zone applies is unverified as of October 2026. Ask the host where the car goes.
