Pay By Phone Parking is Here!

Park Wilmington has introduced a convenient new service for parking in downtown Wilmington.  Park Wilmington has contracted with Verrus for a new Pay-By-Phone system for on street parking meters.  Users can register at the meter, or ahead of time online at www.paybyphone.com.  You can simply pre-register your vehicle tag number, cell phone number and a credit card and begin that quickly.

Here’s how it works, you pull into a space, call the 888 number on the meter, they recognize your cell phone number, and you dial in the 5 digit code that is on the meter, and answer the prompt for how much time you want.  Your card will be charged the amount of time $0.75 per hour, plus a convenience fee. 

If you’re running late in a meeting, you will receive a text telling you to call a number and purchase additional time.   That text will come 5 minutes before your meter runs out of time.  If you’d like to register via telephone, please dial 1-888-380-7275 and follow the instructions.

Remember, you can always park in the city owned parking decks and you will not get a ticket.  We promise!
