Detailed Review
The terms say the websites and services are operated by Parkopedia Limited and governed by English law. The about page dates the company to 2007 and names carmakers and map providers among its customers.
Its licensing page claims data on over 70 million parking spaces in 89 countries and about 3 million drivers a month.
For operators
The operator page is short: Parkopedia promotes car parks and special offers to drivers through online, mobile and car navigation channels. It invites operators to get in touch, with no tariffs shown.
This is a visibility service, so it does not replace gate control, payment or reporting.
Data licensing
Customers can license entrance coordinates for navigation, price data and real-time space availability. The page says availability estimates are shown even for car parks without barriers or sensors.
In-car transactions let drivers pay from the head unit.
How to use it with a PARCS
Operators with gates and software from another supplier can use Parkopedia as a demand channel. Its data is only as accurate as the feeds the operator provides.
Customer lists on the site are the company's own statements.
Limitations to Consider
It is not management software. No pricing or operator onboarding detail is published, and the pages checked are short. It sits in the UK, outside the EU, which is acceptable for this directory but means UK law applies to the contract.
Who Should Use Parkopedia
Operators and landlords who already run their car parks and want broader reach in navigation and car systems.
