Case study – From Parkmobile to Gaiyo

I used Parkmobile for years and was satisfied with it at first. But since the takeover by EasyPark, I found it unacceptable. The costs had really gotten out of hand, with transaction fees reaching almost €7.

Then I discovered Gaiyo. Now I only pay €0.19 per parking session (including VAT), regardless of where I am. No vague surcharges, no subscriptions. Just fair and affordable.

What I particularly like is that I set my parking time in advance, so I always know the maximum amount I will be charged. If I leave earlier, I stop manually and only pay for what I have used. That way, I never end up paying more than I should.

Gaiyo is just honest and transparent, exactly what I was looking for.

You set 2 hours of parking (€4.80), but leave after 1 hour and 20 minutes. You stop manually, pay only €3.20 + €0.19, and therefore have money left over.
