How to Avoid UK Parking Fines for Free

Parking tickets are a billion-pound industry in the UK. Don't let them sting you. Here is your comprehensive guide to staying fine-free.

The Problem with ANPR Car Parks

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras are everywhere. They log your entry and exit times down to the second. If you overstay by even a few minutes, a fine is automatically generated and sent to your home. It's efficient for operators, but stressful for drivers.

Did you know?

Private parking firms issue thousands of tickets every day in the UK. Many of these are due to simple forgetfulness or losing track of time.

3 Simple Ways to Avoid Fines

1

Set a Phone Alarm

It sounds basic, but manually setting an alarm on your phone as soon as you park is effective—if you remember to do it.

2

Check Signage Carefully

Always read the terms. Some car parks have "no return within X hours" rules or obscure payment requirements.

3

Use a Geofencing App like Get Stung
