Park and pay by phone

The PayByPhone service operates across all of the council's city centre car parks, as well as some outlying car parks and selected on-street charged parking areas.

The system gives you a way to pay for parking using a credit or debit card, via a mobile phone app, online or over the phone.

Information on how the system works is displayed on signs in car parks and parking places where it is offered, and below.

Good reasons to choose to PayByPhone are that there's:

• no need to search for a pay and display ticket machine
• no need to worry about having the correct change
• no need to display a ticket in your vehicle
• a countdown timer on the app
• optional text message reminders (please note charges apply for the text message reminders)
• text message, email and VAT receipts (please note charges apply for the text message receipts)
• no need to rush back to your vehicle - you can extend your parking session from your mobile phone
• no service charge
• multiple card payments to manage business parking

For more information please see PayByPhone's online help centre.

• You are responsible for entering the correct vehicle and location information when you park
• Normal parking regulations apply
• Parking suspensions may be in force in pay by phone locations at any time - always check for signs and find an alternative space where necessary
