Pay Stations

Pay Stations are located throughout Town in our beach lots and in the business area. The coin and credit card aperture locations, controls, and operating mechanisms are compatible with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Service and handicap-tagged vehicles are NOT exempt from paying at a pay-to-park space.

The automated kiosk accepts quarters, as well as credit cards (AMEX, VISA, MasterCard, or Discover). Pay & Display pay stations issue ticket receipts that must be displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle, but allows the customer to use unexpired time at another pay-to-park location. Cost is the same at any space: $2.50 per hour.

Directions are on each machine as follows: 
1. Insert one or more quarters in the slot (Expiration time will be displayed on the screen), or insert a Credit/Debit Card (AMEX, VISA, MasterCard, or Discover) into the opening and remove quickly. Click the buttons to add or decrease time until your desired expiration time is reached.
 2. Once your desired time is noted on the screen, push the green print button.
 3. Take your ticket receipt from the dispenser.
 4. Bring the ticket receipt back to your vehicle and place the ticket receipt on the drivers-side dashboard with the expiration time displayed for monitoring by Parking Enforcement Officers.
 
 
If you have difficulties with a Parking Pay Station or you would like to report a problem, please call the Bethany Beach Parking Department at 302-539-1000 or speak to any Police or Parking Enforcement Officer. If the unit will not perform, customers may still park in the area and purchase a ticket receipt from another nearby Pay Station or use Parkmobile.
