Examples
Practical examples of ParkNow are described below:
On-street parking
The vehicle is parked in a metered on-street parking space (available from 3/17). ParkNow is selected in the vehicle and parking is started. It is planned that the ParkNow app will be used to pay for the service via "smart" parking meters installed on the street. Parking is ended automatically as soon as the vehicle travels at a speed in excess of 35 km/h. The parking fees are billed by cash-less methods as mentioned previously.
See the Parkmobile web site for further information regarding the on street parking transaction.
See the ParkNow web site for more information regarding the parking service app.

Parking in multi-storey parking garage or underground parking garage
If the multi-storey car park is a partner of the ParkNow program, the vehicle number plate will be captured by a camera and the barrier will open automatically as the vehicle enters. The parking time is started automatically at the same time. Partner multi-storey parking garage are identified on the navigation map with an asterisk.
Alternatively, the ParkNow customer card can be used if there is no number plate recognition facility.

Reserve a parking space
In some selected partner multi-storey parking garage a parking space can be reserved in advance.
No particular parking space is assigned for a reservation, it merely means that a parking space is kept free in the multi-storey car park. Recognition and parking for a reserved parking space are identical to the procedure described above.
