Choosing a Parking Pay Station

Choosing the right parking payment pay station for your parking system is important. Since parking facilities are all different, it’s not about choosing the ‘best machine’( there is no such thing!) it’s about choosing the best pay station for you—the one that best addresses your needs and seamlessly functions with the parameters of your parking facility.

Here are the four basic questions to ask yourself before purchasing your machine:

1. Do I want unattended payment method?

Humans love to see other humans; unlike a computer, a human can readily answer questions. However, attended systems come with long term labour costs, the opportunity for human error and at worse, theft. 

Consider which costs you’d like to take on. Attended machines like our Cashier BOXX have the ability to rate tickets and apply coupons. 

For unattended parking pay station options, keep reading below.

2. Do I want to invest in walk-up parking pay stations?

The choice to invest in walk-up pay stations comes down to two things: lot infrastructure and traffic volume. Does your lot have the space to accommodate a walk-up machine? Is walk-up payment an integral part of keeping lanes decongested?

If the answer to both of questions is no, a Pay-In-Lane (PIL) machine that only accepts credit cards like our Exit BOXX provides a fast way for customers to pay before exiting the lot. 

If the answer to both questions is yes, keep reading below. 

3. Do I want a pay station that takes cash?

Investing in a machine that takes cash is all about customer satisfaction—it provides customers with options.  A machine like Mini Pay BOXX has the capacity to be installed as a PIL and Pay-on-Foot (POF) machine and gives customers the option to pay. The most popular form of payment is credit but bill and coin acceptance may also be incorporated into these machines. If providing cash options for your customers is essential, Mini Pay BOXX can also be configured to accept it but this pay station type cannot give change back.

If you’re looking for an option to give change by cash, think about our Big Pay BOXX, which provides a fast and stress-free way for customers to pay without exact change.

Parking Pay Stations + NO Barrier Gates

Parking Pay Stations with NO barrier gates allow a Parking Operator to select from one of three modes: 
  • Pay & Display: a receipt is printed and displayed on the vehicle dashboard.
  • Pay By Space: the Parker selects the space number and pays for an amount of time
  • Pay By License: the Parker enters his license plate number. 
To enforce parking payment, a parking patrol office would inspect the dashboard or generate reports on-line or at the machine.  For Pay By Space, the reports are open spaces or full spaces.  If the lot is full, it makes more sense to monitor the few spaces that have not been paid for.  Similarly if the lot is empty, it is easier to only look at the spaces that have been paid for.
