Frequently Asked Questions

Is Gaiyo free to use?

Yes, the Gaiyo app is free to use, but you will obviously have to pay for the parking fees. You can check the current parking fees in the app. There are no additional costs for parking with the Gaiyo app.

How does Gaiyo parking work?

Open the Gaiyo app and go to the parking widget via the dashboard. If street parking is available at your current location, a blue button will appear with the text: “Start Paid Parking”

You can also enter an address to start a parking session. You do not have to be near your car. Parking via Gaiyo in car parks is not possible yet.

Do I have to give the app access to my location?

Not necessarily. Gaiyo also works without giving the app access to your location. You won’t be able to see certain information, such as the distances to parking locations. So we do recommend allowing the app access.

How do I stop my parking session?

An ongoing parking session can always be seen on the Gaiyo dashboard. You will then see a ‘P’ icon at the top of the dashboard, telling you that your car is parked. To end your parking session, click on the message at the top of the dashboard and then click on the blue button at the bottom of the screen with the text: ‘Stop Parking’.

I forgot to stop my parking session. What now?

Tip: You can enter a broad end-time range in your Gaiyo parking session. If you stop your parking session earlier than the specified end-time, you pay only for the actual time you parked, of course. This helps avoid fines.

Great app to plan, book and pay for your trip. Everything is in it: public transport, shared cars, scooters and bikes.

Great app, very nice customer service and ticket worked fine.

Lots of integration of different modalities. It was only indicated that I can book my OV rides, but I can’t find that option. Seems to be only NS.

What a nice app to find all forms of transportation. If I can also book and pay for everything, then I will be really happy.

Handy overview of all shared scooters in Amsterdam

I had to wait a long time for an app to travel with a P&R, great.

The app is easy to use and thinks with you in terms of multiple transportation options, and Gaiyo has very good and friendly customer service.

Nice overview of P+R spots

I didn’t know there were so many shared bikes in the area. Handy!

I pointed my kids to your app for discounted train travel.

I didn’t know about those scooters from GO Sharing, but they are top notch!

Interesting app. Especially for students and young entrepreneurs.
