Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

Simply enter your destination – a landmark, street address or a locality. By default it will assume you are looking for a car park now however you can enter an alternate day, arrival and departure time and our service will calculate the applicable rates. Our search covers a radius of 700 metres from your destination to find you the best car park.

From the results list, you simply compare the car parks based on price, distance from destination or facilities. Then if you want directions, just press the button and we will work out how to get there. The search for car parking made easy!

Does it cost me anything to use?

Nope – absolutely FREE. We were sick of the challenge of finding parking in the CBD areas – or the frustration of not knowing where the cheapest parking station is. Let us help you find the best car parking!

What’s your coverage like?

We have almost full coverage of the Sydney metropolitan area and are building Australia wide coverage daily. We expect to have full Australia wide coverage in the coming months. We also have the guys busy overseas – stay tuned for the latest updates!
