Some accommodations offer a private parking at a reasonable price per day. Just remeber to ask for it when you book,because you could risk not to find it available at your arrival!
Some other accommodations are not able to provide a parking.
So, here are my suggestions.

If you stay in Lucca less than a week

-You can park outside the city centre, in one of the free parking areas just a few metres from the Walls parking map

-You can park in one of the several public payment parking areas inside the city centre (no free parking inside). They cost from € 0,50 to € 2,00 per hour from 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m,, are free from 8.00 p.m. to 8.00 a.m. but are not guarded. You pay by "Parcometri"(parking metre), and expose the receipt on your car dashboard untill your return.
Here is their list:

(P06) Via dei Bacchettoni - Places: 228
(P07) Corso Garibaldi - Places: 58
(P08) Via del Pallone - Places: 67
(P09) Piazza S. Maria degli Orti - Places: 62
(P10) Piazza S. Ponziano - Places: 28

If you stay in Lucca for a week or more
