Going on a road trip or visiting a new city? With EasyPark, you can use the same app in over 20 countries. While the app looks and feels the same, parking habits can change once you cross the border. Here’s a quick guide to help you park like a local, wherever you are.
Parking in Sweden 🇸🇪
In Sweden, flexibility is key. You’re likely used to a "start and stop" approach:
Manual Control: You start your session when you arrive and stop it manually when you leave.
Optional Time Wheel: Using the time wheel to set an end time is completely optional. You can simply start the session and go.
Parking Abroad 🇪🇺
In many other countries (such as Italy, Spain, or Germany), the rules are a bit more structured:
Mandatory End Time: Unlike in Sweden, setting an end time with the time wheel is often required to start your session. You choose in advance how long you plan to stay.
Pay for What You Use: If you finish earlier than planned, don't worry! You can still stop the session manually, and you will only be charged for the actual time you were parked.
Keep an Eye on the Clock: If you decide to stay longer than your original end time, remember to extend your session in the app before it expires to avoid any parking fines.
Pro-Tips for a Smooth Trip
Check the Flag: When parking abroad, look for the country flag icon in the app. This confirms you've selected a zone in the correct country.
Trust the Signs: Local street signs always take precedence over the app. Always double-check the signs for specific local restrictions or "service days."
App Updates: Make sure you’re using the latest version of the EasyPark app for the most accurate maps and local zone information.
