Parking machines

Paying made easy in parking garages and at parking meters

In more and more parking garages it is much easier to pay with the GeldKarte. You can pay the exact amount due conveniently from the credit stored on your card – and sometimes you can even save money as well as use the GeldKarte as replacement for a paper ticket. And at the parking meter, you need not look for exact change any more!

No need for small change in the parking garage!

That long-awaited shopping spree, a cinema visit, an evening out at a concert – how we enjoy these things! But the experience can be ruined if you can't find your parking ticket afterwards. Have you left it in a shop? Has it slipped out of your wallet? 

Even if you do manage to find your ticket, the stress is not entirely over. One payment machine will only accept the exact amount. The next one will only take small notes.

So do it the easy way and pay your parking fees out of the loaded chip on your GeldKarte!

Check in and check out with the GeldKarte: no paper ticket

Just check in and out: a paper parking ticket is dispensable.  

Some parking garages go even further: They do not use paper tickets any more. Instead, you pay your parking fee directly at the parking barrier.

This is how it works

When you arrive you are prompted to insert your GeldKarte in the slot at the barrier. The arrival time is then stored using your GeldKarte chip as method of identification.

At your depature you do not need to search for a payment machine – just get into your car, drive to the barrier and there the parking fee is deducted directly from your GeldKarte chip.

Public parking meters

On-street parking made easy - and cheaper!

Always the right change: paying at the parking meter

Always the right change: paying at the parking meter.  

You know it from your last trip to the city centre: Once you have found a place to park your car, you start searching for the exact change to pay at the parking meter. The machine does not give change, and the retailers in the area are more than reluctant to give away all their coins in change for a 20 Euro note. So often you end up paying more than you would have to!

GeldKarte offers you a practical solution, enabling you to pay easily and fast just the amount you need for your parking time.
