PaySmarti, which helps you make cashless payments for parking at car parks throughout Argyll and Bute, now has an app that can be downloaded to smart phones.
The PaySmarti app is available from Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
Using PaySmarti to make payments via credit or debit card, means no more queueing for machines or handling cash. You can even set up SMS notifications to remind you when your parking is due to expire.
Participating car parks will display Paysmarti signage on the existing ticket machine. The location code for the car park will be displayed on the poster at the ticket machine.
- We have introduced a new pay by mobile parking service in our car parks
- You can now pay for your parking charges online and/or using your mobile phone and payment card with the PaySmarti cashless parking system
- For quick and convenient payment, you can download the Paysmarti app to your phone - its available for Android and Apple devices
Pay by Mobile parking
After a successful pilot in Helensburgh, we are extending a new parking payment system to the majority of our car parks from 1st November 2018.
The service will not be available in car parking locations which offer a free parking period (for example Lochavullin, Longsdale Road and Ganavan Sands in Oban).
You will now be able to pay for your car park charges using your mobile phone and a debit or credit card- removing the need to have the right coins for the parking meter and making it quicker and simpler to park.
Benefits of using the service:
- Easy and convenient payment method,
- Self service account management, register payment card and vehicles, choose text reminders and view all sessions and download VAT receipts
- Pre registered customers can just text to park#
- Optional reminder text 15 minutes before expiry, registered customers can extend session by text
- Any number of cars or mobile phones can be registered on an account, ideal for families and small businesses.
How to pay:

All you will need is the location code for the car park (displayed on the poster on the ticket machine), your car registration number, and how long you want to stay.
You don't have to register to use the service, but it makes the process much quicker for regular customers . Registration is quick and only takes a few minutes. Once registered, it’s easy to either text or go to the Paysmarti site and park and pay as both car details and registered card details are securely stored.
