Frequently Asked Questions
How does pay by phone parking work?
Pay by phone parking allows motorists to pay for their parking using a mobile phone rather than paying with cash at a traditional payment machine. The payment process can require the motorist to provide details such as their vehicle registration, select the relevant parking location and choose the length of their parking session.
For businesses and landowners, pay by phone can provide a convenient way to offer paid parking while supporting the wider management of a private car park. The payment information can also form part of the wider parking management process, depending on the systems and requirements of the site.
What are the benefits of paid parking?
Paid parking can help businesses and landowners manage demand for spaces, establish clear parking requirements and make better use of available capacity. A structured payment system can also provide a straightforward way to manage parking across private car parks while giving motorists a clear process for paying to park.
For organisations, paid parking can form part of a wider parking management strategy, working alongside services such as digital permits, ANPR and other parking technology. Control Direct can help businesses and landowners manage paid parking as part of their wider private car park requirements.
What are the benefits of cashless parking?
Cashless parking gives motorists a way to pay for parking without relying on coins or cash, which can make the payment process more convenient. For businesses and parking operators, digital payments can also make it easier to manage parking activity and reduce reliance on physical payment handling.
Cashless parking can be particularly useful for private car parks where businesses want a straightforward payment process that fits alongside other parking management technology. Control Direct provides parking management solutions that can support businesses and landowners in managing paid parking across their sites.
