The pioneering system in Portugal offers drivers the fastest and easiest solution to pay for parking using their cell phone or tablet, without the need to use coins or go to the parking meter. With the 'Start and Stop' feature, the driver can start and stop the parking period at any time, and only pays for the time the vehicle has actually been parked. The application also offers a pay-per-time mode, in which the driver specifically indicates how long he/she wants to park, and will be alerted each time the parking period is nearing its end, so that he/she can then extend the parking period.
