Wherever possible please use cashless provider Paybyphone.

 

If you do not have any change when you arrive in one of our pay and display car parks or at one of our on street parking locations, you can pay by using your mobile phone instead. The parking fee is charged to the credit or debit card you have registered.

This service is available in addition to paying with change at the machine, so you can use either.

Please note:

Using pay by phone will result in an additional pay by phone service change being incurred. 

Charges for using PayByPhone

  • Service charge of 14p in addition to the parking charge.
  • SMS confirmation of parking session 20p (this is optional).
  • SMS reminder of parking session about to expire 20p (this is optional).

Please note these fees are implemented by PayByPhone, not managed by Hertsmere Borough Council, therefore they could change.  Please refer to PayByPhone website for accurate fees.
