Sign up free and connect your own bank account via Stripe in a couple of minutes — no signup fee, no monthly fee, and CarSpark never holds your money.
Print your QR sign
Set your prices, download your car park's sign, print it and put it up. That's your whole setup.
Collect payments
Drivers scan, pay and park. Money lands straight in your bank account automatically — you keep 100% of your price.
That's it.
What does it cost you? Nothing.
- €0 to sign up — no signup fee, no monthly fee, no setup fee.
- 0% commission — you keep 100% of your parking price.
- The €0.29/£0.25 service fee is paid by drivers at checkout, never billed to you.
- Live in under 10 minutes — connect your bank, print your QR sign, start collecting.
And it's just as easy for your customers
About 20 seconds, no app, no account — so nobody hunts for change or downloads something just to park.
Scan
The driver scans the QR sign at your car park with their phone camera — a normal web page opens instantly, no app required.
Pay
They enter their registration plate and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card. No account, no password, no personal details required.
Park
They're parked — with a live countdown and an optional email receipt. You see them appear on your dashboard instantly.
Keep 100% of your price. No machine, no contract.

Pricing, published — because nobody else in this market does that
Your cost as a host is €0. The driver pays a small flat fee at checkout — you keep 100% of your parking price. That's the whole model.
No monthly fee. No setup fee. No hardware to buy. Money settles to your bank account automatically, about 2 working days.
Why no app? Because that's how you spot a scam.
QR code parking scams work by tricking a driver into an app install or a fake payment page. CarSpark never asks for an app, an account, or a password — so there is nothing to fake convincingly and nothing of yours to steal.
- Every session opens carspark.app directly, with a padlock — never a third-party domain.
- Card details are entered only inside Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Stripe's secure payment window.
- CarSpark never asks a driver to create an account or type a password. Ever.
Pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card via Stripe's secure window. No card details are ever entered directly on this page.
Frequently asked questions
Do drivers need to download an app?
No. Drivers scan the QR sign in their phone's camera, which opens a normal web page — no app store, no install, no account or password. It works the same on iPhone and Android.
What does CarSpark cost a host?
Nothing. There's no signup fee, no monthly fee, and no setup fee — and CarSpark takes 0% commission on your parking price, always. CarSpark earns its keep from a flat €0.29 (Ireland) or £0.25 (UK) service fee the driver pays at checkout — it's never billed to you, and you keep 100% of the price you set.
How fast do hosts get paid?
Payments go from the driver's card straight to your own bank account automatically, about 2 working days — the same speed as a card machine settlement, not a monthly marketplace payout run.
Does CarSpark ever hold or touch host money?
No. Payments run on Stripe and settle directly into your own Stripe-connected bank account. CarSpark's fee is deducted automatically on the way past — your money never passes through CarSpark, and CarSpark never sees your bank details.
Do I need to buy a parking machine or any hardware?
No. CarSpark replaces a pay-and-display machine with a printed QR sign and a web page — no upfront hardware cost, no installation, and no maintenance contract. See our parking machine alternative page for a full cost comparison.
How do I know who has paid?
Your host dashboard shows every currently-paid vehicle live — registration, vehicle colour and make, and time remaining. You can search any reg to check instantly, and log an unpaid vehicle with a timestamped photo in one tap.
Does CarSpark issue parking fines?
No — CarSpark is a payment platform, not an enforcement company. We never issue fines or penalty charge notices. If you need enforcement, CarSpark's live paid-vehicle log and photo-backed incident records give an enforcement firm exactly what they need.
How long does it take to go live?
Most hosts are live the same day: sign up, set your prices, download and print your QR sign — typically under 10 minutes of setup before the sign is ready to print.
Set your prices. Print your sign. Get paid.
Free to sign up, live the same day, 0% commission for life.
