On-street Parking - Credit Card Payment

Pay-and-display machine

Wellington offers a New Zealand first - paying for your parking by credit card without having to pre-register.

The Council's new silver pay-and-display machines now accept credit cards, as well as cash and TXT-a-Park.

There is a 50c transaction charge for using your credit card to purchase parking. This is the same for one or two hours parking. For example, one hour of parking at $4 per hour would cost $4.50. Two hours of parking at $4 per hour would cost $8.50.

Credit Cards Accepted

• Visa
• MasterCard
• American Express

Billing

The transaction will appear on your credit card statement as 'WCC Parking Services.'

Problems & Errors

If you cannot complete a transaction because of a network problem the message 'Credit card payment unavailable, use coins' will appear.

For any other problem using credit cards to pay for your parking, call Wellington City Council.

Receipt

The pay-and-display machine will print a pay-and-display receipt, which has enough information to act as a tax invoice.
