Overview

You can pay for parking at the machine or by using the PayByPhone app on your mobile phone.

On the app you can:

• Pay for parking using a credit or debit card
• Find car parks in the area
• Create an account
• See where you have parked
• Be reminded when your parking is about to expire
• Extend your parking time

Each car park has a unique location number. Parking officers can then look up the number plate to check where you have been parked.

Pay at the machine

You can pay with cash at all of our car parks.

We are currently adding the option to pay by card to all of our machines.

At the moment you can pay by card at the following car parks:

Parking permits

If you regularly park at South Shields Town Centre, or at the seafront, it may be cheaper to buy a parking permit.
