FAQ
HonkMobile is available in most downtown municipal parking lots and accessible on-street parking spaces. Parking lots and accessible on-street spaces supported by Honk are displayed in the HonkMobile app. Refer to the HonkMobile Parking Lot Map for a complete list of supported lots.
Other on-street parking is not supported by Honk. Users should review information in the HonkMobile app carefully before paying for parking -- and, please, ensure payment is complete before leaving vehicles unattended.
Each parking transaction is registered with your licence plate. Parking services enforcement officers have a real-time list of compliant plates. You do not need to display anything in your vehicle. Please ensure payment is complete before leaving your vehicle unattended.
No. All parking is first-come-first-serve.
While it is possible to purchase your parking through HonkMobile before you arrive, please keep in mind that HonkMobile does not reserve you a spot or guarantee that space will be available when you arrive. We recommend that you wait to purchase your parking after you have located an appropriate space.
Most customers use a credit card, but Honk also accepts PayPal, VISA debit, ApplePay and Masterpass digital wallet. Cash and credit cards will still be accepted at parking meters. Please ensure payment is complete before leaving your vehicle unattended.
Once you've paid for parking, Honk will email you a receipt. You can also view all your transactions by visiting the receipts page in your profile.
However infrequently, mistakes happen. Please ensure that the licence plate entered in the app matches the one on the ticket. If you still believe that you have received a ticket in error, you may have it reviewed. Always ensure payment is complete before leaving your vehicle unattended.
If you have questions about a transaction that you made using the HonkMobile app please contact support@honkmobile.com
