How, when and where to use it in 29 countries
The Blue Badge is recognised in all European countries. When you display it on the dashboard, it allows you to make use of the same parking concessions allowed for the country's own citizens with disability.
The concessions do differ from country to country though so it's important to know where, when and for how long you can park in each country.
This AA leaflet provides details of using the Blue Badge and parking concessions in 29 countries.
Remember, If you are in any doubt about your rights, don't park.
