What is parking space management?
Parking space management means the structured organization and control of parking spaces on public roads, in car parks and on commercial areas, with the aim of ensuring efficient use of these areas. Optimized management of existing parking spaces is essential, particularly in urban areas where there is a lack of parking space and demand for parking spaces is high. Instead of parking ticket machines, digital solutions are now used to manage parking space and control the collection of parking fees. Modern parking systems regulate access to parking spaces and minimize parking search traffic through better flow and fewer backlogs. Parking free of charge is made more difficult for wrong-way parkers.
How is parking time monitored?
Parking monitoring is carried out by our digital system, which detects vehicles on arrival and automatically calculates the parking time upon departure. If the parking time exceeds the permitted duration, fees will be charged via digital payment methods. This precise monitoring promotes compliance with the established parking rules and ensures a fair distribution of parking spaces.
What are the benefits of parking space management for companies?
Parking space management offers companies significant advantages, particularly in areas with high demand for parking spaces such as the city center. By reducing search traffic, accessibility is improved for employees and customers. In addition, setting up paid parking areas allows companies to generate additional income.
How does renting parking spaces work with Wemolo Booking?

Our platform helps landlords create offers for various rental options — whether for long-term, permanent or employee parking. In this way, you can ensure that the parking area on your site or in your property is used to maximum capacity. Thanks to modern parking space monitoring with automatic number plate recognition, parking space management is fully digital, even during opening hours.
What benefits does Wemolo Booking offer for my parking space?

Is there a minimum or maximum period for renting parking spaces through Wemolo Booking?
When renting out a parking space through Wemolo Booking, there is no strict minimum or maximum period. Landlords have the flexibility to set the rental period for their parking space separately. This makes it possible to set up both short-term (from 1 hour) and long-term (from 1 day) leases. However, it is advisable to define clear conditions regarding the rental period in the written rental agreement to avoid misunderstandings and to ensure a good rental relationship.
As a landlord, can I set the prices for my parking spaces individually?
Yes, as a landlord, you can set the prices for your parking spaces individually. Wemolo Booking allows landlords to determine their own parking fees based on factors such as location, availability and type of rental (e.g. underground parking space or parking space in a company parking lot).
What happens if a tenant uses the parking space without payment or longer than agreed?
Should a tenant use the parking space without paying the agreed parking fees or occupy it longer than specified in the rental agreement, Wemolo Booking provides for certain measures to support landlords. If the tenant does not release the parking space after the rental period has expired, it may be necessary to take legal action to claim outstanding payments or to stop using the parking space.
What is automatic number plate recognition?
License plate recognition uses cameras and software to accurately capture vehicle plates, identifying vehicles entering and exiting and monitoring their parking duration.
