When traveling around Edmonton, finding parking can sometimes be a challenge. Once you have found a great spot, the next challenge comes when you try to keep your meter fed and yourself free from an expensive parking ticket. Fortunately, the city of Edmonton has addressed this problem. Their efficient and convenient EPark system offers several options to pay for parking throughout this great city.

EPark Machines

Pay when you park is the oldest and most widely recognized way to take care of fees when you park in Edmonton. EPark machines are located throughout the area. Simply notate your parking zone when leaving your car and find the closest EPay park machine. Once at the machine, notate your zone number (located atop the street signs in the area you parked), and input that information with your license tag number. You can pay using cash or credit card for the amount of time necessary to complete your business in Edmonton.

EPark Account

For individuals who frequent Edmonton or prefer not to search for a machine to pay, the EPark parking app is a convenient choice. Simply visit epark.parkplus.ca to download the app on your smartphone or tablet and set up your account. Once your account is setup, you can pay using the app. If your mobile device isn’t handy when you need to pay, you can also call or text from another phone to make payment using your account. A minimum payment of $1 is required when using the app, but you do have the ability to stop your time clock at any point, meaning that there is never a reason to overpay for parking. You can also extend your parking time from anywhere so you won’t have to leave a meeting or your dinner date to find a meter when you are out of time.

Virtual Payment System

For individuals who prefer not to set up an account with EPark, the virtual payment feature is ideal. This is a great choice if you are visiting Edmonton for a shorter period of time or for other reasons do not need to utilize paid parking as often. Using this feature does require that you have a smartphone as you will need to scan an on-street QR code to pay. Simply scan the code, enter in the zone you are parked in and your license plate number, and then, input your credit card number to make payment. A receipt can even be emailed to you as proof of purchase.

Edmonton is a great place to work, live and play, and now, parking in the city is more convenient than ever with EPark. Explore the many ways you can pay and discover all the advantages of setting up your account today.
