The problem with traditional parking in Croatia
Croatia welcomed over 21 million tourists in 2024. The Dalmatian coast — Split, Trogir, Makarska Riviera — bears the majority of that load across a 3-month window. Parking infrastructure has not scaled with visitor numbers.
Old-model parking lots require attendants, ticket machines, boom barriers and cash. They are slow (queues at entry and exit), expensive to operate (staff costs), and prone to error (lost tickets, payment disputes). During peak season, a 15-minute queue to exit a car park is not unusual.
PayParq eliminates all of this with a single component: an AI camera at entry and exit. Nothing else is needed.
How PayParq works — the full flow
Book online (optional)
Visit payparq.com, select your location, enter dates and plate number. Pay by card. You receive a confirmation email. Walk-in use without booking is also supported.
Arrive — camera reads your plate
Drive to the entry point. The AI camera reads your license plate in under 500ms. If you have a reservation, the system confirms it instantly. No ticket issued, no barrier delay.
Park and go
Park normally. If you need transport to the terminal, select the Park & Taxi option — it includes a shuttle. The driver arrives in minutes.
Leave — automatic billing
Drive to the exit. The camera reads your plate, calculates your duration, and charges the card on file. A receipt lands in your inbox within 30 seconds.
