The QR sticker that lets anyone reach you — without your number.
Writing your phone number on the dashboard works, until it reaches the wrong person. A ParkPing card does the same job and keeps your number out of it entirely.
Why a QR sticker beats a phone number on the dashboard
Most drivers who park in tight places end up writing a mobile number on a slip of paper. It solves the blocked-driveway problem and creates a new one: your personal number is now visible to every passer-by, and it stays there long after you have forgotten about it.
A QR card flips it around. The code identifies the vehicle, not you. When someone scans it, ParkPing passes the message through and reaches you — your number never leaves our side.
Reasons people scan
- Blocking someone — your car is in the way and they need it moved.
- Lights left on — before the battery dies.
- Keys left — in the door or the ignition.
- Damage — someone hit the car, or a tyre is flat.
- Emergency — a medical or safety situation involving the vehicle.
- Just a ping — a neighbour simply wants to reach you.
