Pay for your parking area in Madrid with e-Park

I have to admit that I am a disaster with the guarded parking areas that are in all the streets of Madrid Especially with the times maximum stays and price differences depending on whether it is blue or green. And that I have so many fines that it is more profitable for me to leave it in a public car park for not having renewed the ticket on time.

However, for once the City Council has put its batteries, to collect everything is hurry and good work, and has published for the main mobility platforms the application and -Park, which precisely allows you to pay and change the car ticket remotely

Make it easy to bleed your pockets

Thus, with this application, as I explained before, I can make the first payment for parking in a restricted area, and the subsequent ones for as long as I need to park the vehicle without even being near a collection column.

The first thing I have to do is register a system user account, which gave me problems from the phone and that I had to perform on the web. The following is to add as many vehicles as you want by inserting the license plate, make and model.

Finally, I must top up the account with money, which works like a virtual wallet where I enter an amount that I can spend to buy parking time.

The first time I used e-Park was at the entrance of a hospital. In a green area I activated the GPS and let the App geo-position me I told it which was the vehicle I had parked and I changed the city, which - for some reason - It always tells me that I'm in Córdoba.

I registered a ticket with the maximum time that e-Park warned me that I could have the car parked without moving it, and I went to do my things. After an hour, without leaving the hospital, I charged again for another hour, and after that time I still had to charge another half hour.

Under normal conditions I would almost certainly have had to cancel a complaint for not having renewed the ticket on time, but with this application and from my mobile I can finally get out of the permanent anguish of being fined.
