PayMyPark

PayMyPark simplifies the process of paying for parking in various New Zealand locations, including street parking and carparks managed by participating councils. Users can choose to pay for individual sessions as a casual user, or create an account to use a stored balance and potentially save on transaction fees. The app removes the need for physical coins or tickets, allowing for remote management of parking sessions and reducing the hassle of rushing back to a vehicle.

Flexible Payment Options

The app supports two main ways to pay for parking. Casual users can pay per session, handling each parking instance individually. For those who park frequently, creating an account allows for the use of a stored balance, which can help save on transaction fees over time. This account-based approach also unlocks additional features for managing parking.

Remote Parking Management

Account holders gain access to features designed to streamline parking. The app can send an alert when a paid parking session is nearing its expiry, providing a timely reminder. If more time is needed, users can extend their parking remotely through the app, though this function is subject to existing time restrictions for the specific parking zone.

Precise Payment and Usage

For users with an account, a start-stop function enables payment only for the exact duration a parking space is occupied. This means parking charges are calculated based on actual usage rather than pre-paid blocks, offering a more precise and potentially cost-effective method for managing parking time.

Supported Parking Types and Business Use

PayMyPark can be used for both Pay by Space and coupon parking systems, accommodating different local parking configurations. Businesses can also leverage the app to manage their parking expenses more efficiently by consolidating all vehicle parking costs under a single account, simplifying administration. The app is available for use in areas managed by councils such as Christchurch City Council, Dunedin City Council, Hamilton City Council, Wellington City Council, and the University of Waikato, among others.
