Parking Payment

You can use credit cards for the pay by plate machines located in paid parking areas.  To pay for parking, you enter the vehicle licence plate number and pay for the amount of time you want to park.  You do not receive a paper ticket, so there is no ticket to display in your vehicle.

Online Parking Account

You can pay for parking with an online account by registering with AT Park.  Once set up, you can use the AT Park app, AT website or text (SMS) to start and stop a parking session.  Find out how to register and use AT Park

Electric Vehicle Charging

Auckland Transport AT has installed EV chargers at Council owned carparks around the city.  EVRoam is a live database of EV charging infastructure. This lets EV drivers know the charger location and availability.  For chargers with automated data, it also shows if the charger is available to use or in use. This means drivers can confidently plan their journey.
