How it works
Along the narrow cliff roads between Ravello and Scala and at the terraced car parks above Praiano, men wearing unofficial fluorescent vests direct tourists into private or unregulated parking spots and then demand €15–30 in cash for 'minding' the car. Drivers who refuse often return to find minor damage — scratched paintwork or deflated tyres. These individuals have no municipal affiliation and the spots are either free public zones or belong to private businesses that charge the legitimate posted rate.
