Munich, February 9th, 2026. Peter Park is consistently driving the digitalisation of the parking industry, setting a new benchmark in modern parking with its feature “Automatic Payment”. This innovation automates the entire parking process, making manual payment procedures obsolete. Consequently, parking becomes faster, easier, and more convenient than ever before – across more than 180,000 parking spaces.With Automatic Payment, motorists benefit from a fully web-based mobile application that handles the parking process almost invisibly in the background. Simply drive in, park, and drive out – entirely without paper tickets, queues, or manual payments. Billing is automatic and transparent, with users only paying for the actual time spent parking.
Automatic Payment offers a tangible boost in convenience, particularly for frequent parkers at high-traffic locations – such as city centres, railway stations, hospitals or corporate campuses. Whether for a quick errand or daily parking at the same spot: no trip to the machine, no time wasted – the parking process runs automatically in the background and makes urban mobility noticeably more efficient.
Entering the Future of ParkingAutomatic Payment automates the majority of previous manual steps, substantially reducing the effort required for both motorists and operators. The solution is intentionally designed to be intuitive, catering to users of all age groups. The goal is to complete the parking process quickly, clearly, and comfortably – without manual hurdles.
Users register once via the provider’s platform and activate Automatic Payment by saving their number plate and preferred payment method. From that point on, every parking event is fully automated without any further action from the driver. Upon entry, scanners recognise the vehicle's number plate and start the parking session in the background. Upon exit, the scanners capture the plate again, the session is ended, and the corresponding fee is automatically billed via the stored payment method. For total peace of mind, users can view both past and ongoing parking sessions in their online account, ensuring maximum security and transparency.
A One-Stop SolutionWith Automatic Payment, Peter Park offers a fully automated and 100% data-protection-compliant parking system including various payment options from a single source: from initial concept and installation to the operation and maintenance of the parking management system and automated billing. For operators, this means efficient parking management with minimal administrative effort. For motorists, it ensures a modern, frictionless parking experience.
Another revolutionary step? The innovative feature does not just automate the payment process and enable precise billing for the actual duration of stay. With Automatic Payment, car park owners can also provide their employees with a simple and fair payment option at special staff rates.
Innovation with Measurable ValueDuring the development of Automatic Payment, we analysed the entire parking process and asked ourselves: where are the friction points and how can we eliminate them? The payment process emerged as the decisive lever," explains Dr Felix Riese, Head of Product at Peter Park. "By implementing consistent automation, we not only significantly speed up entry and exit, but also save motorists the hassle of going to the payment kisok. Automatic Payment is therefore a genuine market first that makes parking easier, more efficient, and more accessible for everyone involved."With Automatic Payment, Peter Park is ushering in a new era of parking – digital, automated, and uncompromisingly user-oriented.
