Dear all, do you need to pay for parking at the places with a P sign on the roadside in Munich, Germany, where there are parking meters? Some cars do not have a parking ticket under the windshield, but some people still pay. If you don't pay, do you have to pay when returning the car ?

This is like taking a bus without a ticket. You won't be able to pay the fare after you get off. When you arrive, you will be fined.

Payment is required. If you don't put money in the windscreen, you need to enter the license plate number when you buy the ticket. When the police come and scan your license plate number, they will know if you have paid the parking fee.

It's probably better for you to pay the fees yourself.
