Customers can pay for parking on their mobile devices using Parkmobile’s mobile applications for iPhone, Android and Windows 7. Additionally, customers can use Masterpass, PayPal, Visa Checkout, Chase Pay, Parkmobile Wallet, and coming soon - Apple Pay, to pay for parking.

Mobile app users may also choose to receive alerts and reminders 15 minutes prior to expiration of their parking session. The mobile app will provide one maximum time extension, for example, if a meter is two hours then the customer can re-up through pay by cell for two additional hours at premium rate when utilizing Parkmobile.
