Why was I charged more for Express-Parken than I actually needed to pay?
Before starting a parking session, you set your expected parking duration. Based on this time setting, the estimated total will be reserved on your chosen payment platform. After the parking session ends, the actual parked time is calculated, and the corresponding price is determined and charged. The reservation is then released. Sometimes this release can take up to five business days. This depends on the chosen provider (PayPal, credit/debit card, Google Pay, or Apple Pay) and cannot be influenced by Parkster.
Direct payment for Parkster Plus users
As a Parkster Plus user, you can now choose whether to pay monthly or immediately after the end of your parking session. As part of your Parkster Plus membership, you can pay directly with PayPal, debit, or credit card. If you are an iOS user, Apple Pay is also available to you. Update your Parkster app. Open the Parkster app and tap on “More” at the bottom right, then tap on “My Pages.” Under Payment Method, your current payment method will be displayed. Tap on the arrow to the right of your payment method. Tap on the desired payment method under “Pay directly.” Follow the instructions and save the entered data. Your new direct payment method will be displayed under “Payment Method.” When parking, select the correct parking zone, set your expected parking time, choose the correct license plate, and start your parking session. According to the selected parking duration, a parking fee will be reserved. You can extend your parking session as usual or end it early. The actual parking fee corresponding to the parking time will be calculated and charged after stopping the parking session. The reservation will be released.
