Miami Beach Now Accepts PayByPhone for Municipal Parking

Miami Beach, FL – Residents and visitors now have a choice of using either PayByPhone or ParkMobile to pay for parking when their plans take them to and within global travel destination Miami Beach.

“The addition of PayByPhone as an accepted form of payment is making parking in Miami Beach a no-hassle experience at our 66 surface lots and dozens of on-street parking meters,” explained Miami Beach Commissioner Alex Fernandez, who urged parking officials to expand available payment options. “In the near future, motorists will also be able to use PayByPhone in the 12 city-operated garages as customers are already able to do so via the ParkMobile app.”

PayByPhone and ParkMobile are the two most widely used mobile parking apps in South Florida. In addition to Miami Beach, PayByPhone is accepted at all Miami-Dade County parks as well as nearby municipalities like Miami, Coral Gables, Fort Lauderdale and the Town of Surfside.

Both parking apps will share the same location numbers in Miami Beach to ensure a seamless extension of the city’s payment options for motorists accustomed to using ParkMobile throughout the city. The PayByPhone app and service soft launched in Miami Beach on April 1 as it undergoes testing and the installation of new signage to reflect the addition of PayByPhone.

Available on both iOS and Android platforms, PayByPhone allows motorists to park without registering for a free account though registered users are able to access a greater number of features. App features include text message reminders prior to parking expiration, the ability to extend parking sessions remotely within the specified time limit and emailed receipts after each app transaction.
