As soon as you have downloaded the app and completed your registration, the process of purchasing a parking space will be much smoother. The main benefits of this app are that you can purchase a ticket from the comfort of your car and you don’t need to route around your bag, looking for coins. This eliminates the inconveniences of parking.  The parking controllers can check your license plate on their terminal and will know that you have paid the fee. It’s as simple as:

    • Accessing the menu located in the upper-right margin and clicking on «Aparcar en la calle».
    • Selecting the area where you are going to park. Don’t worry, the application has GPS.
    • Adjusting the time you need and the proportional amount in the circular selector of the app.
    • Confirming your purchase and enjoying your parking.

Following international security standards required by banks and credit / debit card issuers, our payment method allows customers to purchase a ticket with maximum reliability. If the time limit in the parking lot and the rate allows it, you can extend your parking time from your current location using your cell phone. This eliminates the inconvenience and time-consuming task of returning to the parking meter. 

For your convenience, you can activate notifications. This allows you to receive notifications informing you that your time slot is nearly up and you must return to your car or extend our services. This prevents customers from receiving fines for going over their time slot. Other notifications you may be sent are,  if you have received a fine for exceeding the permitted limit. Another benefit to having your notifications switched on is that you can pay for the cancellation of fines in the app. A record will be kept on your profile so that you are aware of all payments that have been made. 

As an additional advantage, you can register more than one license plate (in case you use a personal vehicle and a company vehicle, or you use more than one car at home). The app also gives customers the opportunity, to schedule a monthly statement of your transactions.
