How verification works
A parking map is only useful if it's true. Every Parkwise location goes through the same standard before you rely on it.
Real data
Built from official sources and real drivers — not scraped guesses.
Checked on the street
Drivers confirm every detail where it matters: on the street.
Kept honest
The community catches mistakes and puts them right, fast.
Badge means trusted
Only fully-checked locations earn the verified badge.
Always fresh
Live space reports expire quickly, so green never means stale.
The economy
Help other drivers. Use Parkwise for free.
Report availability as you come and go, verify locations, or add ones that are missing — every contribution earns points, and points extend your access.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Parkwise free?
Yes. Every new account starts with a full day of access, and you keep Parkwise free by helping other drivers — two quick availability reports earn a full day of access. No subscription required.
How do I earn access?
Report live availability as you arrive or leave (about two taps), confirm parking details on-site, or add locations that are missing. Points land in your balance and convert straight into access days in the app.
Where does the data come from?
Every location starts from official council records — real tariffs, max stays, and enforcement hours. Drivers then confirm each location on the street before it earns its verified badge.
How fresh is the availability information?
Live space reports expire after 60 minutes, without exception. A green marker means a driver recently confirmed spaces; if no one has reported recently, the marker says so honestly instead of guessing.
Which cities does Parkwise cover?
Parkwise covers the UK’s major cities — Manchester, London, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Newcastle, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Nottingham, Leicester, Oxford, Cambridge, and Brighton — and the map grows every day.
