SmartPark™ is an in-vehicle parking meter, designed to take the hassle out of parking... Your own Personal Parking Meter.
It is the size of a pocket calculator and hangs from your rear-vision mirror or rests on your dashboard while you are parked.
No more walking to a parking meter. Simply set the SmartPark when you park your car and switch it off when you return.
You only pay for the time you park - for example, if you park for 5 minutes, you only pay for 5 minutes. No more ‘loading the meter’ and returning early with money still remaining. Likewise, if you think that you are just going to be a short while, but get held up, you don’t have to worry.
SmartPark means no more coins, as all your parking credit is stored on your personal "Smart Card”.
Your Smart Card also allows you to print out all the information on where, when, and how long the user has parked - useful if you need to keep track of your parking, or wish to dispute an infringement notice
Simple to operate, the SmartPark takes the worry out of paying for on-street parking – now that’s SMART.
