As you approach the entrance, drive slowly to allow your Easytrip toll tag to be detected. If parking is activated and your account has sufficient funds, the barrier will lift automatically. For a smooth experience, check your account via the Easytrip app and follow these tips:

  • Wait for the barrier to lift before proceeding.
  • Avoid tailgating other vehicles when entering or exiting.

If you accidentally take a ticket, your Easytrip transaction will be cancelled.

You’ll need to pay for your parking using the ticket machine before exiting the car park.

To avoid this, always allow the barrier to detect your toll tag when entering a partnered off-street parking facility.

Ensure your Easytrip parking tag is properly mounted, your account has sufficient funds, and parking is activated.

If the issue persists, contact Easytrip customer support or use the ticket machine to gain entry or exit.
