The use of personal information is outlined in the Terms of Use, which you can review during the In-Car Payment registration process.
When you arrive at a car park where In-Car Payment is accepted, a guide pop-up will appear. Once you enter the In-Car Payment screen through the guide pop-up, you can review and enter parking and payment details to start your parking session.
1. For post-paid car parks, the session can end via the guide pop-up when you leave the car park, or it can also end automatically when the reservation reaches the maximum time limit.
2. For pre-paid car parks, the session ends automatically either when the vehicle leaves the car park or upon reaching the maximum time limit. You can park at the same car park again with the parking session still open. However, if the parking session hasn't ended, you may not be able to use In-Car Payment..
Unfortunately, we do not currently offer the option to extend parking sessions.
If for any reason the guide pop-up for ending the parking session did not appear on the navigation screen, you can open it by selecting the parking POI on the map.
Local authorities can verify this through an online check that lets them see the parking information.
If the card suspension is lifted within a week after the parking session ends, the payment will be processed automatically. However, if more than a week has passed or if you're unable to use the card, please reach out to our customer support.
A maximum time limit may exist depending on the local and car park policies. Even if there is no maximum time limit, the parking session will be limited to 24 hours due to Parkopedia's policy.
