FAQs

What happens if I don't have enough credit in my linked payment method?
Most parking apps will send you a notification when your balance is low. If you don't have sufficient funds, your parking session might be terminated, and you'll likely incur a late payment fee. Ensure your linked payment method has enough funds before starting your parking session.
Can I use the app to find parking in HDB carparks?
Yes, many parking apps cover both public and HDB carparks. However, check if the specific carpark you're targeting is listed within the app before relying on it to find a space. Some HDB carparks might require separate payment methods.
