One of the major benefits of using Passport Parking is the ability to increase time on your meter remotely.
There are two ways to extend your parking time.
To view your parking history you can use the app or website. Click ‘Parker History’ in the side menu and you’ll be able to view previous parking sessions and access receipts.
Login to your account and click ‘Options’. Use the check boxes to enable/disable the reminders.
You can start additional parking sessions by clicking ‘New Session’ in the side menu.
The menu button is the icon with the three white lines in the left-hand corner of the screen.
On the menu you will find:
Login and select ‘Payment’ from the side menu. Select ‘Add Card'. Enter your new card information and check the ‘Save Payment Info’ if you wish to save this card for future use. To delete a card, select ‘Payment’ from the side menu and choose the card you wish to remove, then ‘Delete Card’.
Login and select ‘Vehicles’ from the side menu. The app will save recent license plate numbers you’ve used before too!
The verification code is a 3 digit code that verifies you have entered in the correct cell phone number or email when signing up. The PIN number is a four digit number of your choice that you will login with.
To change your PIN you will login to the app or website and select the ‘Reset Pin’ button on the first page. It will then ask you for your current card information on your account for security reasons. If you don’t know your old card information please send an email to [email protected].
To change your email address you can use the app or website. Login and select ‘Profile’ from the side menu and then update your email.
