About this app
4411 began in Belgium as an SMS-based street parking payment service and has since grown into a full mobile app spanning on-street meters and automated garage access. Available in more than 150 Belgian and Dutch cities, it lets drivers start and stop parking sessions from their phone instead of hunting for coins or a ticket machine. Its garage network uses license-plate recognition to skip physical tickets at over 50 locations. Pricing is transaction-based rather than subscription-based: a flat fee per app session or a small SMS charge, billed either through the user's mobile carrier or a prepaid 4411 account. With over a million installs and a 4.0-star rating across 24,000+ reviews, it remains one of the most established names in Belgian urban mobility, even as newer pan-European parking apps expand into the same market.

Pros & cons
What we like
- Broad municipal coverage across Belgium with 150+ participating cities plus Dutch cities
- No subscription required, pure pay-per-use pricing with transparent flat fees
- Automated license-plate garage access at 50+ locations removes need for tickets
- Long operating history and mature integration with Belgian city parking authorities
What could improve
- Coverage limited to Belgium and the Netherlands, no use outside these two countries
- Per-session app fee (€0.45) plus SMS fee (€0.15) adds noticeable cost to short parking sessions
- User reviews report occasional session start/stop bugs and billing confusion around GSM-bill payments
How to use 4411
- Download the 4411 app and register with your mobile number and vehicle license plate
- Link a payment method: GSM bill or a prepaid 4411 account
- At a parking spot, start a session in-app (or via SMS) selecting the zone code
- Stop the session manually when leaving, or let a max-duration limit apply
- For partner garages, simply drive in/out; the license plate is recognized automatically and billed
Editor’s tips
- Register your GSM number for automatic carrier billing to avoid needing a separate prepaid balance
- Use the garage list in-app to check which of the 50+ partner garages support plate recognition before relying on it
- Set a max-session reminder since forgetting to stop a session keeps billing accruing
Editor’s verdict
4411 earns its reputation as Belgium's original mobile parking pioneer: it was the SMS parking service before smartphone apps existed, and it has carried that first-mover municipal relationship into a modern app covering on-street meters and roughly 50 license-plate-recognition garages. Coverage across 150+ Belgian and Dutch cities is respectable but far from universal, so drivers outside its municipal partnerships get no value. Pricing is transparent on paper (a flat €0.45 app fee or €0.15 SMS fee, no subscription) but that per-session charge stacks up for frequent short-duration parkers compared to apps with capped or percentage-based fees. A 4.0-star rating from over 24,000 reviews on a 1M+ install base indicates a solid, mature product, though recurring complaints about session-start reliability and GSM billing clarity keep it from best-in-class reliability territory. Overall it is a dependable, no-frills utility for Benelux drivers rather than a feature-rich parking platform.
