In the last couple of months, a series of updates have been released to help increase efficiency and reliability. They include changes to parking zone number assignments, entrance/exit lane patterns, metering, and monitoring improvements.

The Passport Parking team has also upgraded the equipment on all 50 automated machines, allowing for better entry and exit operations management.

Features

1. The Parking Spot Finder tells you where a spot is as soon as one becomes available in real-time.

2. Find Parking at Lots Nearby quickly searches for parking near your destination and rates the nearest spots, letting you know if they are occupied or free.

3. Rate the Spots lets you review specific parking spots to help other Passport Parking users with their searches.

4. Passport Card (which requires an annual fee) allows you to access your parking account quickly, manage reservations, and plan your commute by storing transit tickets and loyalty cards in one convenient place.

PROS

oo In the Passport Parking app, you can pay for your parking time at Passport parking lots with the touch of a button.

oo The on-demand availability of Passport Parking spots gives you the freedom to go where and when you want while never running out of time or worrying about forgetting where and when to return.

oo Each Passport parking lot has a unique code to identify its space availability, making it easy for users to search for and reserve a parking spot.

oo Once users enter their Passport parking code, they can select how much time they want to add and pay by choosing an amount with in-app buttons.

CONS

oo The App does not cover all cities or countries.

oo Some people have mentioned there are often errors with GPS, even if they try to keep up their location. It also costs money for the Passport Lab's application which may turn some users off from using it.

oo It does not provide all the information on your car and can only tell you a small amount of data.

How to use

Once downloaded to your device, the Passport Parking application will guide you step-by-step through a parking experience.

The user interface's design is straightforward to follow.

The App prompts you to enter your license plate, cell phone number, email address, and desired length of time parked (1-hour minimum). Once the data is inputted, the App will automatically select an available space for you on your map closest to your desired location.

Users can also view photos of spaces nearby before finalizing their selection.

More

Passport Parking is a location-based application that identifies vacant parking spaces. You must set your desired date, time, and flight number before requesting a spot.

Avoid wasting time by ineffectively exploring many search results--you'll get real-time notifications with pricing, availability, and distance to the parking lot where the space was found.

You can also track flights, see departure times for upcoming flights at nearby airports, and find other locations near this one.
