Don't become a Parking Ghost Driver!
19 Oct 2023"Parking ghost drivers," you know them. Drivers who pay unnecessarily high parking fees due to ignorance, missed discounts and misinformation. Check out our tips on how to avoid becoming a Parking Ghost Driver yourself.
Just like in traffic where ghost drivers are drivers who drive against traffic, parking ghost drivers are people who look for the best parking options but without following the correct route. They often end up in situations where they have to pay unnecessarily high parking fees. This can happen for several reasons:
Paying more than necessary: Ghost drivers are usually unaware of the advantageous rates for paid parking. As a result, they often pay more than they should. By the way, did you know that reserving a parking space with us is often cheaper than parking on the spot! Booking is easy via our website, of course!
Missed Discount Opportunities: They miss out on discounts and offers available from parking companies like yours. As a result, they often pay full price.
Misinformation: Some drivers rely on outdated information about parking facilities, causing them to pay unnecessarily.
