Pay and Display - How it works

If you feel your land may be suitable for parking let us know and we will carry out a free survey to identify the following:

• Car Park demand - The need for car parking space in the area
• Income Forecast - We will provide a forecast of potential revenue from the site

We will then provide this report to you and invite any comments you may have. If you decide you would like to proceed we will act on your comments where appropriate and provide you with a final report and draft contract. Upon agreement we will set up the park and arrange any advertisement we feel is necessary. All this comes at no cost to you the landowner. Once the car park is active we will take care of all the maintenance and day to day running of the site and keep you updated with monthly revenue spreadsheets and any information we feel you would like to know.Return to top of page

FAQ'S

Recent technological advancements in the parking industry mean that Pay & Display car parks have become much more dynamic. Through our experience and knowledge of the parking industry we can offer expert advice to landowners in order to identify and maximise the potential of all options of profitability on their land.

A few examples of the problems faced by landowners are addressed below:

Q. I don't wish for people who are purchasing goods from my premises to pay parking charges as this could be detrimental to business.

A. Our Pay & Display machines can be set to print a voucher with each ticket. This voucher may then be redeemed in the premises when making a purchase. This is an extremely effective way of ensuring that everybody using your car park is either a genuine customer or is paying for the privilege.

Q. People using my premises are not necessarily purchasing anything on site but I still don't want them to pay for parking(i.e hotel guests).

A. We can supply you with tokens which you can give out at your discretion. These tokens can then be used in the ticket machines which then print out a ticket giving the customer a predetermined amount of free parking.

Q. I want staff / residents to pay a reduced rate / pay monthly.

A. We can implement a resident / staff card scheme in which each resident would insert their smart card into the machine which would then either give them access to a cheaper rate or make a log of each ticket obtained for billing purposes. Return to top of page
