Useful parking app?

[barryd]

Don't know if this will be of any use to anyone but I came across it on FB just now and it was some random motorhomer blog. You stick your times and locations into the site / app where you want to park and for how long and it gives you the various options. Presumably only places that have subscribed. One thing he said was that it allows you to extend the usual free two hours in supermarket car parks. I put in from 5pm to 12pm the next day so 19 hours in total and a fair few supermarkets came up with a cost of £2. So it would seem its possible to extend these two hour park ups in some car parks if you pay a small amount. They were full timers away with their kids and reckoned it worked a treat.

Doesn't interest me but might be useful for some.

It was mentioned a few weeks back Barry along with a couple of alternatives, I did a bit of a test and not sure I'd rely on it due to vehicle size limits not being accurate, it looks better suited and Intended for cars I think and not sure if it's set up accurately for larger vehicles TBF, because you have to pay up front there's the danger of pre paying for a space that's not suitable so you'd have to do a lot of preliminary checking out on google maps etc before forking out.

We joined and paid extra to sleep in the van in nottingham for a graduation ceremony, came back to find he had double booked us and we couldnt move off his drive so we had two nights instead of one

Must have missed it. Yes I did wonder how suited to motorhomes it might be. It was just the bloke posting it was a full timer so wondered if it was useful to some but I agree with you. Caution probably needed.

Found it very helpful that you can message the people with drives and ask dimensions, it did take a few days for a responce but our niece now uses the same persons drive as she only goes to uni 8 hrs over 3 days its not worth her doing the big car park day rates ,
