Get to know Toledo
In a city like Toledo where artisan products such as ceramics or spaderie are so renowned, it is not surprising that it is common that stores and individuals decide to move this kind of fragile objects in a minivan or van rental.
In Furauto want to do everything on our part so that our customers are not forced to resort to courier companies in which sometimes the handling of packages leaves much to be desired. The risk of accidents occurring that shatter decorative plates or other objects made of ceramics to stack boxes in a delivery cart wrong is very high.

From Furauto we are sure that in Toledo will not be difficult to find a parking to everyone's liking. Whether for its services and features, its price or the relationship between these two things the variety of options available in terms of payment stations is quite acceptable.
We will provide some examples so that our customers can judge for themselves:
- Indigo: This parking is located at Paseo de Recaredo, 22. It is a subway parking with lighting. The most interesting thing for our customers is that the parking spaces are very large. It has capacity for 434 vehicles. It is open from Monday to Sunday. Its price for 24 hours is 19.30 euros.
- Indigo 2: As it is the same company as the one described in the previous paragraph, the characteristics and services do not change. However, we wanted to include this parking lot in the article because it is in a different area of the city. It is on Avenida de Bruselas.
- Parkia: This is a parking lot located in El Miradero, specifically on Gerardo Lobo Street. There is an elevator, which comes in handy when it comes to loading or unloading a van. It also has special spaces for motorcycles, car wash, toilets and electric car recharging. It is open from Monday to Friday.

Driving through downtown Toledo
Accessing downtown Toledo by van is complicated. While it is true that there is no inconvenience to drive to the historic center of the city, the streets are somewhat narrow and this situation is even more aggravated in the case of vans or minivans.
However, there is no need to despair. In the street there are limits to how long a parking space can be occupied, but as we have seen in the previous section of this article, going to a subway parking lot is an option that is always at hand and thanks to which you will not have to worry about space problems.
