You can start a 3-hour parking session in 3 different ways. You can:
- use the MiPermit app (fastest and easiest way to do this if you park regularly)
- text (SMS message)
- call our Automated Telephone Service
Starting a parking session using the MiPermit app
To use your permit, you need to:
- download and register with the MiPermit app (download the app for iPhone or Android)
- open up the MiPermit app when you get to the car park and are ready to park
- enter the 6-digit code: "861012" - this is the same code for all car parks you can use your permit in
This will start your parking session for 3 hours.
See MiPermit on YouTube for more guidance.
If your location allows stays of more than 3 hours, you can extend your parking session by using the JustPark app or at the ticket machines to pay for your additional parking.
If you cannot download the app, there is the option to activate your parking session by texting, or by calling:
Parking by text (SMS message)
You can:
- text PARK 861012 3 hours to 61600 from your mobile phone
- text PARK 861012 3 hours T123EST to 61600 from your mobile phone if you have more than one car registered
Our automated system will call you back for the following information:
- car park location number (861012)
- if you wish to receive an SMS reminder 20 minutes before the stay expires (charges apply)
If at anytime you have difficulty with the process, stay on the phone or press the star key and you will be transferred to one of the MiPermit team. They will help you through the remainder of the process.
SMS relies on having a mobile phone connection but doesn't need a data connection to the internet. It can be used anywhere that you have a signal. Sending an SMS to 61600 is charged at your standard message rate by your mobile network provider. You cannot pay for your parking through your mobile telephone's subscription.
Telephone (Automated Telephone Service)
We also support starting your parking session by telephone:
On arrival at a participating car park, call: 0345 505 1155 from your mobile. Calls cost the standard national rate as set by your mobile provider and should be included in your minutes package.
If calling from a telephone that is not your registered mobile phone, you will be asked to enter your member number (mobile or landline number).
Follow these steps:
- Enter the 6 digit location code using your keypad (861012)
- If you have more than one vehicle on your account, you will be asked to select the vehicle to use.
- Select whether to have an SMS reminder sent to you 20 minutes before the end of the stay (charges apply)
- Stay on the phone until you get a message confirming the stay has been created
