Living in Centro Storico, the heart of 'Area C', it was bound to happen. We rent cars for business…read moreand every time we drive through the area must pay the €5 Area C fee. One time, we did not pay within the 24 hour window, and received a ticket, several months after. So, down to the police station to pay our fine. This station is not close to the metro so after taking the train to Porta Romana, we walked quite a few blocks. When we approached the main entrance, an officer standing guard there pointed us in the correct direction. We waited just a minute in line at Information. We are still learning Italian, and are getting 'pretty' good, but not great so trying to translate was interesting. We thought we had paid on time and they were trying to explain we were late. Luckily, a kind by stander who spoke both Italian and English assisted and we sorted it out. We were given a number and sat in the waiting area for our turn. I must say both the people working at Information were very nice to us and took quite a bit of time explaining why we received the fine. It was all very courteous. There are two electronic boards in the waiting area that show what numbers are being served and a computer generated voice that calls out the number when it changes. Walk through the red doors to the 'station' indicated on the computer board next to your number, pay the fine, and that's it. It was a bit of a wait, but very organized and they DO take credit cards. I hope you never have to stop by, but if you do, I hope this helps make it a bit less scary.
