Ratings and reviews

Resorting to the app as the only means of paying is for the company's benefit, not the consumer. Some places in the UK have such a poor mobile signal that downloading the app and then authorising payment is impossible. I had such an issue in Lewes and eventually had to find alternative parking. Introduce ONE parking app and ban all others.

Generally the app works fine BUT on some car parks there aren't pay stations and if you haven't realised that, and so you haven't started a parking session but need to pay when you leave, there is no option on the app to do that, so you need to go to the NCP Pay Later web page. It would be so much better if there was a "Pay Later" option on the app instead of having to do it through a web site and add all your card and address details every time. Thanks!

"parking made easy", yet you have to mess around downloading the app, creating an account, confirming your identity, logging in, selecting a car park, entering your reg, adding a card, approving the payment and then finally, 15 minutes later, having confirmation of parking. All whilst hoping you don't lose signal, otherwise you're unable to park there. Whatever happened to good old cash? Yours sincerely, a 27 year old.
