Are you losing your autonomy and want to know if you can benefit from a Mobility Inclusion Card (MIC) to facilitate your travels? We are taking stock of the regulations.
There are 3 MICs. The IJC parking lot allows you to park for free. The IJC priority allows you to avoid queues or to have a seat. The IJC invalidity it affects you if you have a significant loss of autonomy: it offers the same advantages as the IJC priority, with reductions in transport and tax advantages in particular.

Parking
The card allows you to park your vehicle for free and unlimited duration on places reserved for persons with reduced mobility but also on all places open to the public in the national territory and in all the countries of the European Union.
The duration parking can be limited by decision of the municipality but not less than 12 hours. In addition, a fee may be charged for parking in parking lots with entry and exit kiosks accessible to persons with disabilities from their vehicles.
You can use the card if you are the driver of car or the passenger.
Please note
the IJC parking lot replaces the old parking card. If you have this old card, it stays valid until 31 december 2026. But you can ask for the IJC parking lot without waiting for that date.
