HATFIELD, HERTFORDSHIRE – November 2024 – Parking operators now have an easy digital option for their barriered car parks thanks to a system launched by PayByPhone. Pay on Exit is a parking payments option tailored to barriered car parks based on advanced ANPR technology. It provides drivers with a simple and easy payment option through the PayByPhone app that means they pay for their exact parking duration when they leave the car park.
Pay on Exit brings the same seamless digital user experience to barriered car parks that we provide to on-street parking. For those who operate busy barriered car parks, like [hospitals / airports...], Pay on Exit delivers an improved, faster customer experience for their car park users coupled with an easy and seamless option to manage transactions for the operators themselves,” says Adam Dolphin, UK Managing Director for PayByPhone.
Drivers enjoy complete convenience; they do not have to queue to purchase a ticket from the machine, which can be frustrating and time-consuming during peak times, or overpay for unwanted time. And because drivers pay through the app at the end of their stay, they don’t have to rush back to their car before they have finished what they are doing because their parking session is due to end. Overall it is a time-saver for the driver and reduces stress around fines.
Using Pay on Exit is easy. Drivers enter the car park and ANPR records the vehicle’s arrival time. There is no need for the motorist to estimate how long they are going to be and pay in advance. They simply park. When they return, and are ready to leave the car park, they open the PayByPhone app and enter the parking location number. Pay on Exit calculates the exact duration of the stay automatically, and the driver pays using the PayByPhone app. Once the payment is processed, as the car approaches the exit barrier, the ANPR technology recognises the number plate, and the barrier opens. If the motorist isn’t registered with PayByPhone, they must register before entering the parking location number.
