Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about booking parking through ParkMeUp. Each venue sets its own events, prices and policies, so for questions about a specific booking please contact the venue you booked with.

Booking parking

What is ParkMeUp?

ParkMeUp is the parking management platform used by venues across the UK. When you book event parking on a venue’s parking site, the booking, payment and digital pass are handled by ParkMeUp on that venue’s behalf.

How do I book parking for an event?

Go to your venue’s parking site (for example, the link on the venue’s website or in their emails), choose the event and the parking option you want, enter your vehicle details and pay online. Bookings are subject to availability and are confirmed once payment succeeds.

Can I book parking for any venue here on parkmeup.co.uk?

No. Each venue has its own parking site with its own events, prices and policies. Visit your venue’s site to book. If you are not sure where that is, check the venue’s own website or contact them directly.

How do I pay?

Payment is taken at the time of booking through our secure payment providers. Depending on the venue, this may include card payments and PayPal. ParkMeUp never stores your full card number. Prices are shown inclusive of VAT where applicable.

Why do I need to give my vehicle registration?

Your registration links your vehicle to your booking. Some venues use it to check you in automatically with number plate recognition cameras, and attendants can use it to find your booking. Please make sure it is entered correctly.

Passes and check-in

How will I receive my parking pass?

Once your booking is confirmed, a confirmation and a digital pass with a QR code are sent to the email address and/or phone number you provided. You can add the pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

I haven’t received my confirmation. What should I do?

Check your spam or junk folder first, and make sure the email address you entered was correct. If it still hasn’t arrived, contact the venue you booked with and they can resend your pass.

How do I check in when I arrive?

Show your digital pass to the attendant on arrival, or give them your vehicle registration. At venues with number plate recognition cameras, you may be checked in automatically as you drive in.

Do I need to print my pass?

No. The pass on your phone, or saved to your Apple or Google Wallet, is all you need.

Changes, cancellations and refunds

Can I cancel my booking or get a refund?

Cancellation and refund policies are set by each venue and are shown when you book. Where a refund applies, it is returned to your original payment method, usually within 5 to 10 business days.

What happens if the event is cancelled?

If an event is cancelled, your booking will be cancelled and a full refund issued to your original payment method.

Can I change my booking or vehicle details?

Contact the venue you booked with. They manage their own bookings and can help with changes such as an updated vehicle registration.

For venues

What does ParkMeUp offer venues?

Online bookings and payments, QR passes with Apple and Google Wallet support, ANPR camera integration, attendant check-in on mobile, email and SMS communications, real-time capacity and revenue reporting, and fully branded parking sites on your own domain.
