Revolution on a motorhome vacation: New app shows parking spaces in real time!

Lappland, Schweden - More and more people are opting for traveling in the motorhome, but the search for a suitable parking space can be time -consuming and frustrating, especially during the main travel time. The Swiss start-up Parkn’sleep offers an innovative solution with its app, which gives users the opportunity to find parking spaces available in real time. This app is not only practical, but also makes the overnight stay in the camper in a spontaneous way.

The functionality of the Parkn’sleep app is reminiscent of classic parking apps: campers can visit available parking spaces directly and pay very easily on site using QR code, similar to a parking meter. Anyone who has an unused place can tie up as a landlord. A simple QR code location is sufficient. In conversation with Lukas Imhof, the company's managing director, his enthusiasm for the concept was felt.

parking space claims and pricing

When asked whether camper who does not check in, a nodule must reckon with a nodule, replied that this was possible. Many providers - including municipalities - make sampling controls. In addition, black parking is usually quickly noticed. However, the app not only offers users a solution, but also gives tips on pricing. Parking space owners are encouraged to request between 15 and 20 euros for simple parking spaces, while places with more infrastructure can request higher price.

This can be unfavorable for some campers, but for many users an economic solution is available in the form of the "Camper Card Unlimited". For 480 euros per year, owners can use the places all over Europe, which corresponds to an overnight price of only 1.31 euros per night when using all parking spaces.

According to Imhof, 23 European countries are currently integrated into the system. This enables travelers to spend over 800 parking spaces from Lapland to Portugal - Germany alone has around 180 such places. The possibilities are almost endless and depend on the use behavior of the campers.

in the footsteps of the competition

In the past, Imhof used other apps such as Park4Night that lists places recommended by users. However, these can be problematic if the registered places are not legal. Imhof therefore wanted to create a platform that offers legally flawless parking spaces. So far, the concept of Parkkn’sleep has not yet found imitators, which, according to Imhof, underlines the Unique Selling Proposition, which distinguishes the start-up from other offers.

Not only the availability is described in the app, but also the equipment that camper needs to optimally use the places. A compact motorhome with your own toilet is ideal because many parking space providers make this requirement. The problem of lack of sanitary facilities can also be solved by using dry separation toilets.

interesting national differences in parking space needs are shown in the behavior of professional providers. Swiss hosts are often municipalities that act as Parkn’sleep providers, while in Germany and France many farmers and restaurateurs work with unused areas. This creative solution is a win-win situation.

Overall, the Parkkn’sleep app offers a user -friendly, targeted solution for everyone who likes to travel spontaneously in the motorhome. For more information, see the current reports on www.welt.de .
