How to use the app

WHERE IS THE CHECK-IN FUNCTION?

To change from conventional “fixed time” car parking ticket purchases (where you choose how long to park in advance), click on the “Check-in” tab. You will now be able to park using the check-in function. When you return to your car, open the app and check out. You will only pay for the time your car was parked.

You can change how long you want to stay checked in under Settings, before the system automatically checks you out (in case you should forget to check out). You can change check-in time whenever you want, before each new check-in or during an ongoing parking session.

I ONLY WANT TO PAY FOR THE ACTUAL PARKING TIME, HOW DO I DO THAT?

I BOUGHT A CAR PARKING TICKET FOR THE WRONG LICENSE PLATE NUMBER, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

You will have to buy a new car parking ticket with the correct licence plate number.

If you used the check-in function, check out, enter the correct licence plate number and check in again.

I PAID FOR A CAR PARKING TICKET BEFORE THE PARKING SESSION BEGINS, WILL I BE CHARGED TOO MUCH?

No, the price will be adjusted by the app after the parking session has ended. We do not charge for any time outside of the parking session.

I’VE FORGOTTEN MY PIN CODE

Begin a new car parking ticket purchase and click on “Forgotten pin code”.

WILL I HAVE TO PAY ANY OTHER FEES, LIKE MONTHLY FEES ETC?

ePARK does not charge any monthly fees. ePark applies normal rounding practices and may charge a minimum fee and service fees.

DO I NEED AN EPARK STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD?

Usually, no sticker is needed on the windshield. But some counties might require it, in which case you can find further information on signposts and the county’s website.

WHY ISN’T THERE AN EPARK IN MY CITY?

Thank you for your interest in ePARK’s services.

ePARK is actively trying to open up in more cities, but it is a time-consuming process involving a number of decision-makers. You’re welcome to contact your county and request that the service be introduced. It could speed the process up.

Fines/inspection fees

I HAVE RECEIVED A FINE

In the event that you contest a parking ticket, you should contact the person who has issued the ticket.
ePARK is a payment service, and therefore we do not issue any parking tickets – that is done by the parking operators.

If you have any other questions, such as where to find your car parking ticket in the event that you wish to contest a fine, please contact support@epark.se

Security

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PROVIDING MY CARD DETAILS, HOW SAFE IS EPARK?

Our services use DIBS https via iframe technology. We never receive your account number as it is sent encrypted directly to DIBS.

Neither are we ever able to access your card details after a purchase.

SSL- encryption

All processing of credit card data is carried out by file transfer (https://) encryption.

Usually, this is shown by the little padlock at the bottom of your browser, but even if you can’t see a padlock, the page can still be https:// protected.

Our e-commerce platform is based on a frameset (different windows/frames that are built into the main page, left menu and top menu), and this means that neither the padlock nor the https:// tag are visible. However, we guarantee that all your details are encrypted before transfer. The web page (the frame) that manages credit card data is encrypted, while the navigation frame, for example, is not, since it doesn’t contain any data that needs to be protected.

PC AND APP NOT SYNCED!

It’s true that they are not synced. This is mainly related to privacy issues, since computers are often shared by several people.

Over the years, we have improved security and developed an option that allows you to share this information between devices in a secure manner. This particular function will probably be added to the app sometime in the autumn.

Operational disturbances

THE APP DOWNLOADS SLOWLY

If the app downloads slowly it might be due to your Internet subscription, or it may also be due to a temporary lack of Internet mobile coverage.

It might also be due to the network or mast being overloaded by a large number of other users being online. This leaves less bandwidth for you.

Make sure that you can access 3G or 4G networks, at minimum, which often work best when downloading the app.

GREY BOX WITH A BLACK DOT. CAN’T OPEN THE APP

When your data allowance runs out, you will not be able to go online or use any apps until you top up your data allowance the following month. But you can buy more data allowance whenever you want – Find out more on your Internet provider’s website and top up with more data allowance as needed. If your data allowance often runs out, you can increase your monthly data allowance subscription. If you have a mobile subscription, you can send an SMS with the message: “data allowance” to 4466 (Telia). You will then receive a message stating how much data allowance you have left.
