About Pay & Display / on-street parking
Auckland Transport is committed to effectively managing parking turnover in busy areas of the city. Metered or 'Pay & Display' parking is available on streets and in some car parks, where demand for parking spaces is high or a limited number of places are available.
All machines have clear operating instructions.
How do I pay?
All machines accept New Zealand coins. Credit cards and TXT-a-Park options have been introduced on some machines.
Payment instructions are clearly marked on each machine. If the machine is faulty, you must still display a valid receipt, so obtain your ticket from another machine.
What are the rules?
If you are parked in a Pay & Display area:
You must pay for parking time during the Pay & Display's hours of operation.
The parking receipt must be clearly displayed on your dashboard.
You can not return to continually purchase receipts.
After the maximum authorised time (if time limit applies) you must move your vehicle, even if the pay and display machine is faulty.
If the maximum time allowed (shown on the pay and display exterior), or your receipt time is exceeded, an infringement notice may be issued.
By law, any vehicle parked in a pay and display area is required to pay and display a parking receipt.
Motorcyclists must display their ticket so that it's legible at all times (e.g. you could attach it to the handle-bar using a rubber band).
Note: Some privately operated car parks also have pay and display machines. These are not managed by Auckland Transport.
When do Pay & Display machines operate?
All machines clearly state the hours they are operational and it is best to check on the machine you are using. The table below gives a quick guide for some of the machines:
