When was the last time you validated parking without having to wait in line or hunt for a cashier? With the rise of digital parking platforms, validations are becoming faster, smarter, and easier for both operators and their retail, office, and hospitality partners. At Get My Parking, we believe validations shouldn’t be a bottleneck—they should be effortless. That’s why our versatile parking validation system offers multiple, user-friendly ways to validate parking across a wide range of use cases. Whether you run a hotel, café, shopping mall, or a corporate office building, our platform adapts to your operational needs and enables smooth validations without slowing down your workflows. How Digital Validations Work with Get My Parking Get My Parking’s platform supports both assisted and unassisted validations, letting your partners choose how hands-on (or hands-off) they want to be. Here’s how: Unassisted Validations: Let Parkers Do It Themselves QR Code on a Sign or Poster: Parkers simply scan a QR code using a mobile app or web browser to validate their session. Kiosk Mode: Your partners can turn a tablet into a kiosk using our self-serve portal. Once set up, each scan can generate a fresh validation code, reducing misuse and keeping operations secure. Digital Validation via Text: Send parkers a QR validation pass via SMS, which they can scan at the exit gate. No need for apps or accounts. This makes it ideal for hotels, office buildings, and retail stores that want to offer parking perks without involving their staff. Assisted Validations: Fast Help When Needed At locations where staff are available, like cashier booths or front desks, partners can assist parkers by issuing validations through the self-serve partner portal. Search and validate sessions using: License Plate Number Phone Number used to start the session The last 4 digits of the card used at entry Show the parker a QR code that they can scan to exit Send an e-validation instantly over text Convert POS receipts into validations by scanning barcodes This method is great for retailers or event venues, where human interaction is still part of the guest experience. One Portal, Many Use Cases At the heart of the validation solution is our white-labeled self-serve partner portal, which empowers partners to: Stock up on validations or pay post-use View and settle invoices online, with autopay options View validation history, manage users, and monitor limits Create a kiosk with just a few taps to set up unmanned validations in case they need some time away This digital control panel streamlines everything, from assigning validations to handling billing, eliminating paperwork and manual reconciliation. Special Features for Hotels & Guest Parking Managing guest parking shouldn’t require complex integrations. Get My Parking enables smooth, hassle-free hotel parking with: LPR-based access for guests and staff (with AI add-on) Digital guest passes via SMS Multi-day validations with adjustable check-out times Auto-open gates based on license plates Manual override with QR scan if LPR fails Hotel teams can extend guest parking anytime and guests can pay at exit if there’s a balance. All of this is easily managed from the portal. Automated Billing for Every Validation No more chasing invoices. Get My Parking automates the entire billing process: Digital invoices sent through partner portals Auto-pay options and online payments Custom rules for overage charges and must-take limits Separate portals for operators and each partner With real-time usage tracking, operators get transparency, and partners only pay for what they use - no guesswork involved.
