mPark
is the new innovative way to
pay for on-street parking in the centre of Edinburgh.
Edinburgh is the
first UK city to offer motorists a choice of how to pay for on-street
parking.
Coins will still be accepted by all Pay & Display
machines.
Motorists are required to pre-register to use
mPark
, thereafter their mobile phone number is
recognised when they call the main service number. The cost of the parking
transaction is logged against the mobile phone so there is no need to
carry a supply of coins for parking.
Users can also opt to have an
SMS text message sent to them 10 minutes before expiry time of their
voucher in order that they can return to their vehicle in good time and
avoid a Penalty Charge Notice.
*Reminder texts will cost
20p
