About this app
EasyPark, born in Sweden in 2001, has grown into the closest thing Europe has to a universal parking wallet. One account pays for street parking in Berlin, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Stockholm, Amsterdam, and thousands of smaller towns — over 4,400 cities in more than 20 markets, from the Nordics down to Montenegro, plus Australia and New Zealand. Its defining interaction is the wheel: drag to set an end time, see the exact price, tap to start, then extend or stop remotely from a restaurant table. Camera Park uses license-plate recognition to open gated garages and bill sessions with zero taps, and supported EV chargers can be paid in the same app. The trade-off is cost: pay-as-you-go users pay roughly a 15% service fee on each session, waived only with the EasyPark Go subscription (about €3.99/month) or business plans. In the UK, US, and Canada the group operates through sister apps RingGo and ParkMobile rather than EasyPark itself. For anyone driving across European borders regularly, no competitor matches this footprint under a single login.

Pricing & fees
Free · ~15% service fee per session, or EasyPark Go subscription from €3.99/month
- Pay-as-you-go (Small/Standard plans): 15% service fee on top of the operator's parking or charging tariff, with a minimum of €0.25 and a maximum of €3.00 per session (official French pricing page)
- Basic plan, offered in select cities only: no service fee at all, but the app then works only in your registered home city
- EasyPark Go subscription: €2.99/month in France (roughly €2.99–€3.99 depending on the country) replaces all per-session service fees with one flat monthly charge for unlimited parking and EV charging sessions
- The parking tariff itself is set by the city or operator; you pay per minute, and stopping a session early automatically credits the unused amount toward your next session
- Business plans: paid monthly per-user subscriptions that reduce or remove per-session service fees and add consolidated monthly invoicing
- The exact fee breakdown is always displayed in the app when you set your end time, before the session starts

What users say
▲ Most praised
- The start/stop wheel and one-tap remote extension are repeatedly described as the easiest way to top up parking without walking back to the car or meter
- Paying only for actual time used, with early-stop refunds credited automatically to future sessions, is a favourite money-saver
- One account covering thousands of cities in 20+ countries spares travellers from juggling local apps, coins and unfamiliar payment machines
- Expiry notifications plus a full receipt history make expense claims simple and help avoid overstay tickets
▼ Common complaints
- SMS phone verification frequently fails for non-European numbers, and foreign cards are sometimes rejected as fraudulent, locking tourists out exactly when they need to pay
- Camera-based Express Pay auto-starts sessions on any registered plate, so users who forget to delete a rental or sold car's plate get billed for a stranger's parking — and refunds are refused
- Customer support is an AI chatbot first, which users say cannot resolve billing errors, failed sessions or fines caused by app glitches
- Occasional silent session failures: the app shows a session as started but no record exists later, leaving drivers with fines and no in-app history to contest them

Pros & cons
What we like
- Unmatched European coverage under a single account and login
- Wheel flow is fast and nearly impossible to get wrong
- Camera Park eliminates tickets and pay stations in gated garages
- Parking and EV charging combined in one app
- Remote stop and extend helps avoid both fines and overpaying
What could improve
- Roughly 15% service fee on every session unless you subscribe
- Trustpilot reviewers report surprise recurring charges and painful cancellation
- Support is chatbot-first; users describe hour-long waits and no phone callbacks
- Occasional fines reported when GPS suggests the wrong zone or Camera Park fails to register
How to use EasyPark
- Download EasyPark, register with your phone number, then add your license plate and a payment card.
- Park, open the app, and confirm the zone code shown on nearby signage matches the one the map suggests.
- Drag the pink wheel to set your end time — the exact price updates live — and tap to start the session.
- Extend or stop the session remotely from the app if your plans change; you pay only for time used in most zones.
- For gated garages, enable Camera Park so cameras read your plate and start and stop billing automatically.
- Receipts land in the app and by email; add extra vehicles or a business profile in settings.
Editor’s tips
- Always stop your session when you leave instead of letting it run out: unused time is automatically converted into a credit that is applied to your next parking session
- Do the maths on EasyPark Go: with the 15% fee capped at €3.00 per session, the €2.99/month subscription (French price) pays for itself from roughly two or three parking sessions a month
- Remove a rental car's licence plate from your account the day you return the car: camera-based Express Pay can auto-start sessions whenever that plate enters an ANPR-equipped facility, and EasyPark refuses refunds for sessions billed to plates left in your account
- If you are visiting Europe from outside it, register and verify your phone number before the trip: SMS verification is notoriously unreliable with non-European numbers, and some foreign cards get rejected, so set up a backup payment method in advance
- EasyPark does not work in the United Kingdom — install its sister app RingGo (same parent group) before a UK trip; likewise the Australian EasyPark app is separate from the European one and needs its own registration
Editor’s verdict
EasyPark is the app to beat in European mobile parking, and mostly earns that status. The wheel interface remains the category's best piece of interaction design — setting, extending, or killing a session takes seconds, and doing it remotely from a cafe genuinely saves money and fines. Coverage is the real moat: one login works from Helsinki to Lisbon to Melbourne, which no rival matches, and Camera Park's plate-recognition garages feel properly futuristic when they work. The weak point is pricing transparency. A roughly 15% service fee per session adds up fast for daily parkers, and the subscription that removes it has generated a steady stream of Trustpilot complaints about unexpected recurring charges and cancellation friction. Support is chatbot-heavy and slow when billing goes wrong. Occasional users and cross-border drivers should install it without hesitation; heavy daily parkers should do the subscription math first and watch their statements. A superb product wrapped in a fee model that demands attention.

How it compares
vs PayByPhone
PayByPhone (owned by Volkswagen Financial Services) is often the officially contracted app in specific cities and can work out cheaper per session where its fees are lower. Pick EasyPark if you park in several countries and want one subscription that kills all service fees; pick PayByPhone if it is the designated app in the city you use most.
vs RingGo
There is no real choice to make in Britain: EasyPark does not operate in the UK and its own store listing tells drivers to use RingGo, which belongs to the same Arrive group. Use RingGo in the UK and EasyPark on the continent, in the Nordics and in Australia.
vs ParkMobile
ParkMobile is the North American market leader (also part of the Arrive group) and the sensible pick for parking in the United States. EasyPark has essentially no US street coverage, so choose it only for European and Australian driving.
Frequently asked questions
Is EasyPark free to use?
The app is free to download, but pay-as-you-go users pay a service fee of roughly 15% of each parking or charging session (with a small minimum fee that varies by country). The EasyPark Go subscription, around €3.99/month, removes service fees entirely.
Which countries does the EasyPark app work in?
The app itself works in 20+ markets, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Hungary, and more, plus Australia and New Zealand. In the UK, US, and Canada the EasyPark Group operates via its sister apps RingGo and ParkMobile instead.
What is Camera Park?
In supported gated garages, cameras read your license plate at the barrier, the gate opens, and your session starts and stops automatically when you drive in and out — no ticket, terminal, or manual action in the app.
What if I return to my car early?
You can stop the session from anywhere in the app, and in most zones you are only charged for the time actually used. You can also extend a running session remotely without going back to the car.
Can I use one EasyPark account when traveling abroad?
Yes — the same account and payment method work across all European EasyPark markets. Australia is the exception, where re-registration with a local phone number is required.
I got a fine while my EasyPark session was running — will EasyPark deal with it?
No. EasyPark is only the payment layer; fines are issued and handled by the city or parking operator, so you dispute the ticket with them, attaching the session receipt from the app's history as proof of payment. Support can check server logs to confirm a session ran, but EasyPark does not refund sessions started on the wrong licence plate, and a wrong-plate session will not protect you from a ticket — verify the plate and zone code before confirming.
Can I pay for EV charging through the app?
Yes, but only in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Slovenia for now. Charging sessions follow the same fee logic as parking: 15% service fee (€0.25–€3.00) on pay-as-you-go, or zero per-session fees if you have an EasyPark Go or business subscription.
Does deleting the app cancel my EasyPark Go subscription?
No — this is one of the most common billing complaints. You must cancel the plan inside the app's settings (or via customer service) before the next monthly cycle, and separately request account deletion if you want your data removed. EasyPark states user data is stored and encrypted in Europe under GDPR, so a formal erasure request must be honoured.
What is Express Pay camera parking and should I leave it on?
In garages equipped with ANPR cameras, Express Pay automatically starts and stops a session whenever one of your registered plates is scanned — no ticket, no app interaction. It is convenient for regulars but enabled by default in some markets, so prune old plates (sold cars, past rentals) from your vehicle list or you can be silently charged for parking done by the car's new driver.
About the developer
EasyPark started in Sweden in 2001 as one of the first pay-by-phone parking services and grew into Europe's widest-coverage parking app, run from Stockholm. Its parent, EasyPark Group, bought Park Now Group (RingGo, ParkMobile, Park-line) from BMW and Daimler in 2021, then completed the acquisition of French parking-hardware maker Flowbird on 15 January 2025, creating a group whose technology reaches around 90 countries. The combined company now operates under the Arrive name, led by CEO Cameron Clayton, with ownership held mainly by private-equity firms Vitruvian Partners, Verdane and Searchlight Capital.
