What is EasyPark

How EasyPark works

EasyPark is the most popular service, available in the form of an application, for the payment of parking in the new continent as well as in the Bel Paese.

The basic concept is very simple but at the same time very revolutionary: start, manage and end the parking of the car with the mobile phone, but above all pay only the actual parking time in compliance with the rates established by the municipal administration, with the possibility , in case of need, to extend it or to interrupt it prematurely.



If we add to all this the fact that the app also allows you to identify the parking areas that can be paid for with EasyPark directly on the map, then we can definitively say goodbye to parking stress.

But where is EasyPark currently active? There are more than 390 in your languagen municipalities in which this service is available, a number that increases over time. As for the rest of Europe, the EasyPark app is available in over 400 cities.

Let's get to the point. What do you need to use the EasyPark service? A mobile phone and a credit card, even prepaid (on the Visa, Mastercard or American Express circuits) or PayPal. It should also be noted that EasyPark can be used by both individuals and companies, with all the advantages that derive from it in both cases.

As for prices, the service is available in two different solutions for private customers: EasyPark Small (on consumption) ed EasyPark Large (by subscription). For the latter it is possible to use the service in an unlimited way by paying only a fixed monthly fee of 2,99 €. For the plan EasyPark SmallOn the other hand, there is a usage commission depending on the parking area and allows you to pay for the exact parking time in compliance with the rates established by the municipal administration, ideal for those who are occasional users.



These commissions can be of 0,19 €, 0,29 €, 0,39 € or of the 15% of the cost of the parking, but in some municipalities they may not even be applied. You can consult the commissions at this link. Taking advantage of the function Camera-Park, in garages or barrier car parks with camera at the entrance and exit, automatic payment of the parking can be made, as the vehicle license plate is scanned and the vehicle identified as an EasyPark user, with commissions equal to 15% of the cost of the parking up to a maximum of 1,90 €.

As for business solutions, EasyPark is available in version For e Premium. The first version is ideal for those who stop less than twice a week and intend to save up to a maximum of two hours a month, while the second is certainly optimal for those who stop more than twice a week and intend to save many hours at the month. In both cases there are monthly costs per user and a registration fee (unless otherwise specified by any offers). For more information, see this page.

Sticker printing

How EasyPark works

Apart from registration, before starting to use the EasyPark service, there is one last fundamental step that you must take: print the sticker to be placed on the windshield of your car as evidence of the fact that you are an EasyPark customer and are using this service for your parking. It is important that you display the EasyPark badge, as in some parking areas it is necessary to report to the controllers that you are using this service.

If you do not have the possibility to print the sticker, you can also affix on the dashboard, in a clearly visible way, a note with the words “EasyPark”. The traffic assistants will know that you are an EasyPark user and will be able to check the correct activation of the parking through the license plate number of your car.

To obtain the sticker, connect to this web page available on the EasyPark site and proceed with printing the file as you usually do with any other document. Don't know how to print a PDF from a browser? In this case, I suggest you consult my guide dedicated to the topic.

In any case, remember to cut out the sticker following the dotted line around it on the previously printed sheet.

However, if you finish your commitments earlier than expected, you can stop the stop as soon as you get back in the car, using the appropriate stop button.
