Pay to Park
No more parking machines, no more parking tickets.
Pay to Park connects all available parking locations around Europe and puts them in the MyŠkoda app on your phone or the infotainment in your car. Search, select and pay for parking from your car, and if you need park for more or less time than you anticipated, you can manage your parking session remotely from your phone.
What benefits can you look forward to?
Simplicity of use
All providers in a single app and your car’s infotainment system – Pay to Park offers simplicity in parking, wherever you travel. Through our business partner, the service brings together various providers across all supported markets. This means you can park with Pay to Park almost anywhere you go.
Coverage
Constantly growing coverage – Parkopedia, our business partner, is constantly working on increasing the number of parking locations across Europe markets, and on integrating new parking providers and expanding its reach into new markets.
Money saving
Pay to Park saves you money – If you do not use up the whole duration of the parking session that you have initiated, you only pay for your actual parking time. Thanks to the Stop feature, which allows you to end a parking session early, you will only be charged for the actual duration of parking, even if you have booked it for longer.

FAQ - Payment
Pay to Park is part of the Škoda Connect package and is therefore covered by the Škoda Connect licence. There is no need to pay for the service separately.
Charges for specific parking locations are up to the company offering the parking. Škoda has no influence on prices. Pricing for parking in the various types of parking zones is displayed in the mobile and web apps.
Payments are handled via a payment gateway operated by Parkopedia, which is Škoda Auto’s partner in the provision of this parking payment feature.
The prices in the map view are intended for guidance only. The actual price for the time you park is calculated in the detailed view of each parking location. This is because different rates apply at different times, plus there may be taxes and additional charges.
Parkopedia has rigorous fraud protection in place, so one or more of the issues below may have occurred:
- Your billing address does not match the address registered with your debit/credit card provider.
- You have attempted too many payments in a short period of time.
- There is an issue with your vehicle enrolment.
Invoices and parking history are not available in this initial release of the app. Invoices are emailed to customers.
No, unfortunately, at this stage we cannot identify an electric vehicle by its registration. Therefore, we are unable to support any discounts for electric cars.
The local authorities are able to run online checks. The only exception is Germany, where you have to display a sticker to indicate that you are paying online.
No, parking fines have to be paid to the local institutions who issue the fines.
You will be charged based on the currency of choice for your registered country and all financial invoices/receipts will be generated based on the requirements of that same country.
