TICKETLESS PARKING IS HERE!

Malvern Central have introduced a ticketless parking system, which includes a parking guidance system and a ticketless fee-paying system, after three hours.

The use of car parks by non-customers is challenging in all shopping centres located near public transport hubs. Malvern Central is located near Malvern Train Station with hundreds of commuters passing through every day. The introduction of ticketless parking will ensure the centre’s car parks are not misused by commuters.


HOW DOES IT WORK?

The ticketless parking system includes licence plate recognition which captures and records the time of entry for each car and assigns this entry time to the licence plate. The first three hours are FREE* and those who park for under three hours can simply exit the car park and the boom gate will open after it reads your licence plate number.

If you stay more than three hours, you will have three ways to pay:
Pay at the pay station located in the Level 2 car park lobby (green level). Simply enter your licence plate details, pay via debit or credit card, and proceed to straight to the exit. No ticket will be issued.

Pay at the exit. Insert or tap your debit or credit card upon your exit.

Pay via an online account. Register your vehicle details here before you arrive at the centre. This allows automatic exit without the need to visit the pay station.  
 
The new ticketless parking also includes a parking guidance system that supports an improved customer parking experience by having:
  • Cameras to detect vehicles within each space
  • LED-based space indicators which change colour to reflect the status of the parking space
  • Electronic display boards to indicate the direction and quantity of available parking spaces
  • Signage which is updated as space available changes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

  • Why have you introduced ticketless parking?
 The new system has been introduced to ensure adequate parking spaces are available for genuine shoppers, and to prevent long-term use of the car park by non-shoppers and commuters.
 
  • How does the new ticketless parking work?
 The new system is based on licence plate recognition. On entry there is no boom gate or ticket issued, so you can drive straight in with a digital clock displaying your entry time. Parking guidance technology with red and green lights will show you where spaces are available with real time boards displaying available car spaces.
 
If your visit is within three hours, you’ll enjoy free parking and can simply proceed to any exit, the parking system will recognise your licence plate and the boom gate will automatically open.
 
If you stay longer than three hours, simply pay at the pay station located in the Level 2 car park lobby by entering your licence plate number and paying by debit or credit card.
