Pay2Park vs Pay24: which payment option is right for your visit?
Two simple ways to pay for parking with CarParkers — short-stay Pay2Park and flexible Pay24. Here’s how they differ.
CarParkers offers straightforward digital payment so drivers can pay for parking without hunting for coins or confusing machines. Depending on the site, you may see Pay2Park, Pay24, or both.
Pay2Park
Pay2Park is designed for paying for a defined stay — choose your duration, enter your registration, and pay online. It suits short visits where you know roughly how long you will be.
Pay24
Pay24 is built for flexibility across a longer window. Where a site supports Pay24, you can cover parking needs that do not fit a simple short tariff — useful for longer stays or sites that run a day-style product.
How to choose
- If you are popping in for a known short visit, start with Pay2Park.
- If the site offers Pay24 and your stay is longer or less predictable, check that option on the location page.
- Always enter the registration of the vehicle that is parked — that is what ANPR matches against.
