Parkopedia and ParkMobile, both part of global mobility platform Arrive, are collaborating to enable seamless in-car parking payments across more than 80,000 US locations. This represents a significant proportion of a national network of over 500,000 total locations. This partnership leverages ParkMobile’s extensive parking network and Parkopedia’s in-vehicle integration expertise to combine rigorous data verification processes with a nationwide footprint, ensuring the most reliable and user-friendly parking experience for American drivers.
Why Seamless In-Car Payments Matter
In the 2025 In-Car Payments User Experience Report, 100% of US drivers surveyed stated they highly value easy-to-use in-car payment functionality. Furthermore, 70% indicated they would be willing to pay more upfront for a vehicle equipped with these services. This demonstrates that connected car features are now a critical factor influencing vehicle purchasing decisions, with OEMs that offer well-executed, seamless payment integrations gaining a distinct competitive advantage.
Benefits for Drivers
For drivers, this integration provides unmatched coverage and usability across the US By consolidating parking data and payment capabilities directly into the vehicle’s head unit, the collaboration eliminates the ‘system fatigue’ often associated with navigating multiple apps and interfaces. This creates a more intuitive experience, allowing users to find and pay for parking without distraction, directly supporting Arrive’s mission to make cities more livable.
Benefits for OEMs
This service provides automakers with the ability to offer flexible, high-demand connected car services in their vehicles across the US. Parkopedia supports OEMs with bespoke wallet solutions that provide maximum flexibility, regardless of their current payment setup. By integrating this reliable, verified data, OEMs can differentiate their offerings, retain customer ownership, and deliver premium, in-car experiences that align with modern consumer expectations for connected mobility.
Underlining the importance of this collaboration, Duncan Licence, Head of Automotive & Data at Parkopedia, stated: “OEMs are increasingly competing on the connected experience rather than hardware alone. By combining ParkMobile's extensive network with Parkopedia's automotive-grade integration, we're turning fragmented parking infrastructure into a seamless in-car service. If a connected service isn't visible and actionable within the vehicle, it effectively doesn't exist to the driver."
Scott Booker, General Manager of Parking at Arrive, added: “By embedding parking payments directly into the vehicle’s dashboard, we’re eliminating one of the biggest friction points for US drivers. Together, we are streamlining the entire payment process to deliver exactly what drivers need, while advancing our mission to help cities be more livable through connected mobility.”
