Make parking hassle-free
ParkMobile – Find Parking, or simply ParkMobile, is a free navigation mobile app that allows you to easily find parking spots. Developed by Parkmobile USA, Inc., this handy app is a US-based service that offers convenience in paying for your parking and getting them when you’re too busy.
ParkMobile is available for use in over 350 cities and more than 3,000 locations—covering parking spots from street, lots to public garages. Take note that this is different from Parkmobile Parking, which services the UK, the Netherlands, and Belgium instead and is from a different developer.
Is Park Mobile app free?
The basic features of ParkMobile entail finding a parking spot and paying for it using the app. With it, you can skip the meter and easily pay and check which areas have no available spots. Additionally, you can use the app to reserve spots ahead of time, get alerts when your session is about to expire, and extend it if you like.
Aside from this, you can save your favorite parking locations, use the Parking Availability feature to see any open spots, avoid getting lost with the “Find My Car” feature, customize your notifications, and use any of the multiple payment methods available. However, take note that while it’s free, it monetizes via ads so every time you switch tabs, you get a ton of ads playing—which can be annoying.
To use the app, simply enter the zone number on the posted signs in your area. Select the amount of time you want to park and start your session. Then, extend your time if you’re running late. For parking reservations, search for where you want to park and then select the specific parking facility. Choose the date and time and follow the instructions in your confirmation to redeem your spot.
A must-have tool
All in all, ParkMobile – Find Parking works well enough as a convenient travel app. While it does have some problems with ads getting intrusive as you set a reservation and such, it’s supported by enough several locations that there’s not a lot of performance issues. Additionally, you can rely on its tech support. This is highly recommended for people who keep finding no available parking space.
