We are excited to announce a partnership with Parkway Corporation, Philadelphia’s largest and best-in-class parking owner and operator. Through this partnership, ParkWhiz now has over 40 parking locations downtown and in surrounding areas, making it even easier to find great parking near your destination.

Many things have proven challenging in 2020; Parkway and ParkWhiz both believe parking shouldn’t be one of them. With the simple-to-use Tap to Pay feature, anyone with a mobile phone can simply tap a sign to pay at a supported Parkway location. Authorize payment and park seamlessly without touching any tickets, buttons, or payment machines. 

ParkWhiz has already installed Tap to Pay signage at nearly 40 Parkway locations with plans to expand by early 2021. As always, existing ParkWhiz consumers can continue to use the app as well.  We are excited to expand this innovative technology into Philadelphia and provide a safer parking experience.

• Have you fallen victim to an endless search for covered airport parking on a business trip? Not anymore!
• Are you looking to treat yourself to a small taste of luxury as you drag your toddler to the doctor’s office? Try valet!
• How about struggling to find a garage where you can charge your electric vehicle? (After all, your two pet-peeves are destroying Mother Gaia and being late.)
• Ever had an issue booking parking at a facility with accessible spaces? For many drivers, this feature is fundamental but all too rare.

Our latest release aims to simplify your everyday journey by removing the pain of finding the right place to park. By giving you the power to search parking facilities in greater detail, we hope to help solve these problems and many more.

Currently, you can filter your search by the following categories:

• Parking Type: Self Park; Valet
• Location Type: Covered; Uncovered
• Pricing Features: Time extension allowed; Elizabeth Lindemulder covers this great new feature in-depth.
• Facility Features: Accessible space availability; EV charging; Attended; Exit & Re-entry Allowed; Security on Site

To use our new feature, search for parking in the latest version of the ParkWhiz or BestParking app. Select the “Filters” icon at the bottom of the map screen, then choose options to your heart’s content. Happy filtering!

We also understand that life is unpredictable. Things come up and plans change. To give you greater flexibility and control over your travel plans, we are introducing a new feature that allows you extend your booking time at select parking garages.

Simply choose “Extend Time” in the mobile app, your preferred time extension and confirm the change. You’ll receive an updated parking pass with your new extended end time. On top of all that, you will get the same great rates you’re used to every time you extend. Don’t see your favorite parking garage listed? Please let us know in feedback next time you book.

As a driver, you’ve never had more transportation options to choose from. Over the next few months, expect to see new ParkWhiz enhancements and technologies that make travel easier and provide you freedom in how you get to your destination.

Since founding ParkWhiz over ten years ago, it has been my vision to make it easier for people to move about. In bringing that vision to life, we have put smiles on millions of drivers’ faces. From scratch we took an idea, mixed in unrelenting passion and determination, and built something people love. The key ingredient, though, has been the amazingly talented people I have the privilege of working alongside. They have taught and inspired me all along the journey toward making ParkWhiz what it is today, and it has been the greatest joy for me to come to work with them every day. To our customers, strategic partners, investors and employees, I thank you for your support as we continue to iterate and improve.

While our vision has come to life, the journey is not complete. Mobility is rapidly changing, and with connected and autonomous vehicles soon to hit the road, ParkWhiz is just hitting its stride.

The Board and I spent a great deal of time searching for the right person to help lead ParkWhiz to the next level. Yona is an experienced leader who believes in what we’ve built, but also recognizes how vast our opportunity is for growth. ParkWhiz has been fortunate to have him on our board, and we’re even more fortunate to have him in the driver’s seat.

As Chairman, I’ll continue to be very active, working on shaping our vision and longer term strategic opportunities. I’m thrilled to be working with Yona, our COO Dan Roarty, and the rest of our world-class team as we continue to build a great company that will help shape the transportation ecosystem.
