Rental car park for Cinque Terre at La Spezia train station

Hello,
We are a party of 5, traveling from Stresa, La Maggiore to Cinque Terre in September 2024. We would like to park our rental car at the La Spezia train station while we are in Vernazza, 2 nights and 3 days. What is the name/location of the train station? (La Spezia Centrale?) I’m looking for information as to where to park our rental car (on-site at the train station, parking fee is fine), and which train we take from La Spezia to Vernazza. Any assistance with regard to logistics is appreciated.
Thank you!

Since you are driving from Stresa I would park at Monterosso. It is closer to Vernazza (which has a very small lot with limited space), and coming from where you come, come before La Spezia.

There are two main parking lots in Monterosso. One is an open lot on the Fegina beach (the “new” part of town), one is a multistory parking structure (called Loreto parking) above the old town. The former is a short walk from the station.

But ask your accommodations about the possibility of parking in Vernazza, which has a small lot but maybe your accommodations can give you a parking permit (many stalls are for residents with permit only).

Fegina Parking near the station:

Parcheggio Loreto (multistory) near the old historical center of the village (longer walk from the station)

From Monterosso to Vernazza is less than 5 min by train.

But if you insist on the farther La Spezia, this is the parking you want:
