Parkopedia and ParkMobile, both part of Arrive, are collaborating to enable in-car parking payments at more than 80,000 locations across the USA. The partnership combines ParkMobile’s parking network with Parkopedia’s in-vehicle integration technology to provide auto makers with a seamless parking payment experience.
In the 2025 In-Car Payments User Experience Report, 100% of US drivers surveyed stated they highly value easy-to-use in-car payment functionality. Furthermore, 70% indicated they would be willing to pay more upfront for a vehicle equipped with these services.
The integration enables drivers to find and pay for parking directly through the vehicle’s infotainment system, reducing the need to switch between multiple apps. According to the companies, the aim is to provide a simpler, less distracting parking experience with broader coverage across the USA.
Benefits for OEMsÂ
This service provides auto makers with the ability to offer flexible, high-demand connected car services in their vehicles across the USA. Parkopedia supports OEMs with bespoke wallet solutions that provide maximum flexibility, regardless of their current payment setup.
Duncan Licence, head of automotive and data at Parkopedia, stated, “OEMs are increasingly competing on the connected experience rather than hardware alone. By combining ParkMobile’s extensive network with Parkopedia’s automotive-grade integration, we’re turning fragmented parking infrastructure into a seamless in-car service. If a connected service isn’t visible and actionable within the vehicle, it effectively doesn’t exist to the driver.”
Scott Booker, general manager of Parking at Arrive, said, “By embedding parking payments directly into the vehicle’s dashboard, we’re eliminating one of the biggest friction points for US drivers. Together, we are streamlining the entire payment process to deliver exactly what drivers need, while advancing our mission to help cities be more livable through connected mobility.”
