Parking

The barrier at the gate does not open automatically, but I’ve already added the license plate number to the app

Don’t worry. Here’s what usually works:

Back your car up, keep your wheels straight, and stay within the lines as you slowly approach the barrier. Then brake.
 
Is the barrier still not opening? Press the call button on the intercom and ask the staff to make an exception and release the barrier manually.

One last thing:

Needless to say, that we want you to enjoy automatic check-in and check-out. So please send us a message with the issue via the contact form. You can find it in your profile under get in touch.

There’s another car on the paid parking space I booked.

We’re sorry this happened and hope you found another parking space for your car - of course, we will refund you the parking fee. Please send us a message including the booking time via the contact form. You can find it in your profile under get in touch.

This may have happened because of unauthorized parking or because the time of the previous booking has expired.

My parking time expired. Can I still use the automatic check-out? 

Yes, of course. Because we all know: Life has its own plan. 

You can use the contactless check-out within 30 minutes after your session expires. 

Let’s say your reservation endsat 2 pm, the automatic check-out will then work until 2:30 pm. After that, please refer to the parking garage staff to get instructions on how you can leave the parking garage.

Can I check into the parking garage automatically with another car?

Yes, of course. We created Run this place to offer you services that meet your busyworkday needs.

What is pallet parking?

In a pallet parking spot, you place your car in a metal structure (pallet) which can be moved at the touch of a button and parked on another space. Please help other drivers move your car smoothly, making sure to park within the lines. For further questions please get in touch with your office manager.

Your parking space is next to a pallet parking

Your booked parking space may be blocked by another car on a pallet parking. You can move the metal structure (pallet) at the touch of a button to access your parking space.

Please ensure that you park within the lines. You can find more information at the parking garage.

My parking space is a duplex garage. Can I still share it?

Since you need access keys to enter the duplex garage, you cannot share it with your colleagues. If you have any questions, please contact your office manager.

Why should I share my parking space?

Sometimes you don't need your parking space. When you' re sick, for example, or when you' re on vacation. Then there are many reasons to let someone else park there:

 - You make colleagues who need a parking space happy.
 
- Visitors can easily park here.
 
- You save resources and relieve the public parking space. 

By the way, you can cancel at any time if you change your mind.

I don’t know the number of my parking space.

You can find your parking space number in the Book area under the respective booked parking space. 

You have a long-term parking space and it is not yet displayed in the Book area? Then contact your person in charge of parking space management in your company and ask them to store your parking space for you in the app.
