I have a disability parking permit (P-Card)
If you park in privately operated parking spaces serviced by Parka, the cameras only read the license plate and do not detect the disabled parking permit (P-Card) displayed in the windshield.
To avoid a parking fee, we recommend paying.
After your visit, you can request a refund by submitting a refund request. Please include a photo of your P-card with the request.
