About this app
Parkopedia built its reputation as the "Wikipedia of parking": a crowdsourced-then-professionalized database spanning more than 90 million parking spaces across 20,000+ cities in roughly 90 countries. Founded in London in 2007, the company licenses this data to automakers including BMW, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and Apple Maps, which is why the same information appears in millions of in-car navigation systems. The consumer app let drivers search any address, compare garage, lot and on-street prices for a chosen duration, filter by covered, free or card-accepting facilities, and navigate straight to an entrance; a Premium upgrade added real-time availability predictions in supported cities. Independent benchmarks have repeatedly rated Parkopedia's data more complete than Google's or INRIX's across the US and Europe. The catch: after EasyPark Group (now Arrive) acquired Parkopedia in February 2025, the consumer app was wound down — the Android version left Google Play in June 2025 and iOS support officially ended July 1, 2026. The parkopedia.com website remains the way to access the database directly, while the data itself lives on inside connected-car dashboards and EasyPark Group services.

What users say
▲ Most praised
- Extensive global coverage that finds parking data in cities where other apps have nothing at all
- Useful for trip planning by showing prices and restrictions before you even leave home
- Clean map interface that layers street parking, garages, and time restrictions clearly
▼ Common complaints
- Real-time space availability sits behind a Premium paywall that some users feel should be free
- Listed prices and restrictions are occasionally outdated or wrong for a given city
- In-app payment coverage is spotty outside major metro areas, forcing users back to a meter or separate operator app
Summarised from recent user reviews on Google Play, the App Store and consumer platforms. Themes, not verbatim quotes.
Pros & cons
What we like
- Best-in-class coverage — independent benchmarks rank its data above Google and INRIX in the US and Europe
- Genuinely global: useful in ~90 countries where local parking apps have no data
- Free to use for core search and price comparison
- Rich per-facility detail (tariffs, hours, payment methods) rare among competitors
- Data quality is maintained professionally for automotive clients, not just the app
What could improve
- The app is discontinued: pulled from Google Play in June 2025, iOS support ended July 2026
- Users report outdated prices and closed facilities still listed, with no in-app way to report errors
- Real-time availability sits behind a Premium paywall and only covers select cities
- Website bookings draw complaints on Trustpilot about failures, double charges and slow refunds
How to use Parkopedia Parking
- Skip the app stores: the Android app is gone and the iOS app is unsupported, so open parkopedia.com in any browser (the iOS listing technically remains for existing users)
- Search by your current location or type the destination address
- Set your arrival time and duration to see accurate price comparisons for nearby garages, lots and street parking
- Narrow results with filters such as free, covered, disabled access or credit-card accepted
- Check the facility's opening hours, height restrictions and payment methods before committing
- Tap through for directions to the entrance, or book ahead at facilities that support reservations
Editor’s tips
- Turn on Premium's real-time availability layer only in the dense city centers where it's actually populated, since coverage quality varies a lot by market
- Cross-check the listed price against the physical meter or garage signage before paying in-app, since some city feeds lag behind rate changes
- Use the search-along-route feature before you start driving to scope a spot instead of circling once you arrive
- Favorite recurring destinations like your office or gym so the app surfaces the cheapest nearby option automatically each time
Editor’s verdict
Parkopedia is a strange entry in any parking app directory: arguably the best parking dataset on Earth, attached to a consumer app that no longer really exists. For over a decade it was the go-to answer to "how much does parking cost near X, anywhere in the world" — 90 million spaces, 20,000 cities, and per-facility detail (tariffs, hours, payment methods) that no city-specific competitor matches. That data is good enough that BMW, Toyota and Apple Maps pay for it. But the consumer product was never the priority, and it showed: a 3.6-star Play rating, recurring complaints about stale prices and closed lots still listed, and availability data locked behind Premium. After the EasyPark Group acquisition in February 2025, the writing was on the wall — Android delisted in June 2025, iOS support ended July 2026. The verdict: bookmark parkopedia.com as a superb research tool before a trip, but for actually paying for parking, look to EasyPark, PayByPhone or your local operator's app.

How it compares
vs EasyPark
EasyPark (its sister app under the same Arrive/EasyPark Group) is better for actually starting and stopping a metered parking session by phone; Parkopedia is stronger as the discovery/search layer for finding and comparing spots first.
vs SpotHero
SpotHero focuses on pre-booking discounted garage and lot reservations in US/Canada cities; Parkopedia has broader worldwide coverage but less aggressive pre-paid discount pricing.
vs PayByPhone
PayByPhone is purpose-built for paying municipal on-street meters in supported cities with fast checkout; Parkopedia is better for researching where to park before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Parkopedia app still available?
Mostly no. The Android app was removed from Google Play around June 12, 2025, and the iOS app has been officially unsupported since July 1, 2026, though its App Store listing was still online as of August 2026. Parkopedia now directs drivers to its website, parkopedia.com.
Is Parkopedia free?
Yes, searching and comparing parking prices is free. The app offered an optional Premium in-app upgrade that unlocked real-time space availability in supported cities, and pre-bookable facilities charge their own rates.
How accurate is Parkopedia's data?
Independent benchmark studies have rated Parkopedia's coverage and accuracy above Google and INRIX across the US and Europe, which is why automakers license it. That said, real users have reported out-of-date prices and closed facilities still appearing, so treat quoted tariffs as a guide rather than a guarantee.
Can I pay for street parking with Parkopedia?
No. Parkopedia is a finder and comparison tool, not a payment app. Its data powers in-car payment platforms for automakers, but for paying meters from your phone you need an app like EasyPark, PayByPhone or RingGo.
Who owns Parkopedia?
EasyPark Group — since rebranded Arrive — completed its acquisition of Parkopedia in February 2025. The London-based company continues to operate as the group's data and automotive-services arm.
What happens if I get a parking fine while using Parkopedia?
Parkopedia is a data and payment facilitation app, not the parking authority, so fines are issued and disputed directly with the city or lot operator; the app does not handle ticket disputes on your behalf.
Does Parkopedia show EV charging availability alongside parking?
In select cities the app surfaces EV charging point locations alongside standard parking data, though coverage and live charger status are much less complete than its core parking dataset.
Can businesses or fleets use Parkopedia data directly?
Yes, beyond the consumer app, Parkopedia licenses its parking data and APIs (B2B) to automakers and mobility platforms for embedding into navigation and fleet systems, separate from the individual driver subscription.
