Parking in Edinburgh, without the guesswork
Central Edinburgh meters are enforced long hours, including some evenings — check each bay’s hours in Parkwise.
During festival season, live availability reports matter more than anywhere else in the UK.

Is Parkwise free to use in Edinburgh?
Yes. Parkwise gives every new account a full day of access, and you keep it free by helping other drivers — two quick availability reports earn enough points for another full day.
How accurate is the Edinburgh parking data?
Every location starts from official records and is then confirmed on-site by real drivers. Locations only carry the verified badge once drivers have checked the price, max stay, and hours match the signs on the street.
Does Parkwise show live spaces in Edinburgh?
Drivers report live availability as they arrive and leave. Reports expire after 60 minutes — so a green marker means someone recently confirmed spaces, never stale data.
