Available for on-street parking, all non-gated off-street carparks, and now at participating gated carparks. Skip fumbling for change or waiting at a machine by using the app to pay for parking in seconds. With this update, you can now start and pay for gated parking sessions by simply scanning a QR code at the entry gate. When you’re ready to leave, the app will automatically calculate your total and let you exit seamlessly, all without needing a paper ticket. Set up your profile quickly and pay using Apple Pay, PayPal, or your credit card. Plus, the app will notify you when your parking time is about to expire, so you can extend it remotely if needed.
