As Novac writes on the 4th of August, 2020, the most popular Croatian parking application, PayDo, is currently breaking records. After months of declining sales of parking tickets, returning to the new normal and thanks to the arrival of foreign tourists, the number of 200,000 users across 77 Croatian cities is quickly approaching.
The PayDo application is completely free and guarantees the availability of service in 77 Croatian cities. It allows you to pay for parking free of charge because it doesn’t use an SMS protocol, and it is especially loved by tourists for whom it is often the only way to pay for mobile parking.
This has been confirmed by the data that shows that so far, the largest number of PayDo transactions has been realised in tourist regions (Istria, Kvarner and Dalmatia), while the city of Osijek has the most users in the continental part, in addition to Zagreb. This season, the number of transactions via the PayDo application has drastically increased throughout Croatia, while in tourist centres such as Rovinj, Pula, Opatija, Fažana, Tučepi and Orebić, PayDo has become the leading method of paying for parking. The highest daily number of PayDo transactions in 2020 was recorded as early as the beginning of July, while last year this number was achieved only in mid-August.
There are also special benefits for business and private users. The business user module allows each company to register a single account through which it can manage parking payments for its employees and associated vehicles, with significant savings and reduced administration (one invoice is received at the end of the month for all purchases made through a business prepaid account).
For all Mastercard® card users, an additional promotional benefit is active until the end of 2020: 10 percent of the amount paid for hourly tickets is returned to the user on a promotional account that they can use when paying for parking in the future. In addition, an additional novelty is that for every hourly parking ticket purchased on the last Thursday of the month, Mastercard® returns 20 percent of the paid ticket amount to the same account.
People are also allowed to pay for daily parking tickets issued by controllers, as well as a large number of special parking tickets such as monthly, annual, tenant, privileged, etc.
To use these benefits, you need to download the free PayDo application on the platforms for iOS and Android (App Store, Google Play) or on the website, where you can find a list of all cities where the service is available.
