How it works

Three taps, then you're parked.

No apps to fight, no barriers to navigate. ParkNova handles the whole journey from your sofa to your space.

01

⌕ Find

Search where you're going, not where you're parked. Live availability and prices for every space near your destination.

→
02

✓ Reserve

Lock in a guaranteed space for your arrival window. No circling, no hoping, no "full" sign after a 20-minute lap.

→
03

⬢ Park

Tap enter — the barrier reads your phone. When you leave, we charge only the minutes you actually used.

Built for real streets

Small details, big difference.

⚡

Find a charge, not just a space

Filter for EV chargers by connector and speed, reserve the bay, and start charging from the same tap that opens the barrier.

🅿️

Pay by the minute

No more rounding up to the hour. Drive off early and you only pay for the time your car was actually there.

📍

Arrive before you arrive

We hold the space for your arrival window — traffic can't take it from you.

📱

Phone is the key

Barriers recognise your car, so you roll in without reaching for a ticket.

🧾

One clean receipt

Every trip, itemised and exportable. No more expenses spreadsheet.

Loved by drivers

No more laps around the block.

"I used to budget an extra 20 minutes for finding parking. Now I reserve before I leave and just... drive there."

"The tap-to-enter is the magic bit. Barrier went up before I'd even stopped rolling. Felt like the future."

"We added our car park to ParkNova and filled 30% more bays in month one. The dashboard is genuinely useful."

Good questions

Before you park.

What if I arrive late?

Your space is held for a grace window (usually 30 minutes) after your arrival time. If you're going to be later than that, adjust the booking in the app and we'll keep the space for you.

Do I still need a ticket?

No. The camera or barrier recognises your vehicle through the app, so you drive in and out without touching anything. The receipt lands in the app when you leave.

Can I book for a whole day?

Yes — daily, weekly and season bookings are available at many car parks, often at a lower rate than the hourly maximum. Look for the "day pass" tag on the space.

How does the operator side work?

Operators list bays, set dynamic prices and see live occupancy and revenue in a dashboard. There's no hardware to buy if you already have a barrier or ANPR camera, and we integrate with the systems you use.

What about refunds?

If a space isn't available when you arrive, you're refunded automatically and immediately — no forms, no waiting for a support reply.

Your next space is already waiting.
