Company profile
researched Aug 2026Parclick operates an online marketplace and mobile application for reserving parking spaces across Europe. Users search by address, city or point of interest and select entry and exit times to book a space in advance, with products spanning durations from one hour to annual season passes (abonos). Inventory is grouped into city-centre parking, airport parking (official airport car parks, nearby lots and valet options), train-station parking, port and cruise-terminal parking, and on-street metered parking payment.
Bookings and payments run through the app, which also allows reservations to be modified and, in some facilities, uses licence-plate recognition at entry. On-street meter payment is offered in Madrid, Barcelona and their metropolitan areas and across Italy. The company positions the service around price comparison across verified car parks, with discounts stated to reach up to 70% off the official rate.
Alongside the consumer service, Parclick runs partner-facing programmes: car park operators can list facilities on the platform, affiliates can place banners on their own websites in exchange for revenue, professional partners can offer parking solutions to their own clients, and advertisers can buy placements across Parclick's channels.
Founding story
The concept originated as a business-school MBA project before being turned into a real company in 2011.
Business model
Parclick is a two-sided booking platform: drivers reserve and pay for parking online or in the app, while car park operators list spare capacity to monetise their infrastructure, which the company describes as risk-free for the operator. Products range from single sessions of a few hours to monthly and annual passes, and the platform also resells on-street meter payment. Additional partner channels include an affiliate banner programme, a professionals programme for resellers, and advertising placements.
Revenue is generated from parking reservations sold to drivers on behalf of listed car park operators, along with advertising placements on Parclick channels; affiliates and professional partners are compensated for referred business.
Traction
The company reports more than 3 million drivers having parked through the service, more than 3,000 available car parks, coverage of over 500 cities and 470 airports, ports and stations, and app store ratings of 4.6 on both the App Store and Google Play and 4.5 on Google.
Latest developments
Current site materials list coverage of nine countries, including Germany and Switzerland, and highlight in-app payment of street parking meters in Madrid, Barcelona and their metropolitan areas and across Italy.
