PrestoPark - Mobile parking payment & notifications

PrestoPark is a next-generation, mobile-first parking solution that turns the way you pay for curb-side parking on its head. Created by IEM, the system eliminates the age-old frustrations of hunting for coins, queuing at pay-and-display machines, or risking a fine because the meter ran out. Instead, everything happens in one intuitive app—right from your smartphone. Whether you live in Annemasse, Geneva, or any other city that has partnered with PrestoPark, you can now discover, pay for, and manage your parking space in seconds. Registration is completely free and only requires your vehicle’s license plate and a secure credit-card token.

KEY FEATURES  

• 100 % Digital—No Cash, No Paper: Forget loose change and windshield tickets. All transactions are processed electronically and stored in the cloud, so you have a permanent, searchable history of every parking session.  

• Real-Time Zone Maps: The built-in map highlights every PrestoPark-enabled street and car park in your city. Tap any zone to see live pricing, time limits, and applicable regulations before you even leave home.  

• Smart Notifications: The app sends push alerts 5, 10, or 15 minutes before your ticket expires—your choice—so you can extend or return to your vehicle before any risk of a fine.  

• Dynamic Pricing Display: Clear, upfront pricing: e.g., “Maximum 1 h 30 = 4.20 CHF” or “2.80 CHF per hour” so you always know the exact cost before confirming.  

• Instant Top-Up: Need another 10 minutes? Two taps and the session is extended. The app shows the new end time and the prorated fee before you confirm.  

• Multi-Vehicle & Multi-Card Support: Add several license plates and credit cards under one account—perfect for families or business fleets.  

• Secure & PCI-Compliant: Your card data is tokenized and never stored on the device. All communication is encrypted end-to-end.
