ParkMobile Frequently Asked Questions

Pay-By-Plate Pay Stations

Pay-by-plate 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: $4.00 per hour.

Directions are on each machine as follows:
1. Enter your license plate information. (Letters and numbers, no punctuation and no state)
2. Press Okay.
3. Insert, then remove your credit card, stripe down and to the right, or quarters.
4. Select the + or - symbol to increase or decrease the amount of time you wish to purchase.
5. Press Okay.
6. Retrieve your receipt and place it on the driver's side dash of your vehicle with the expiration time displayed outward.

Please visit https://www.myparkingreceipts.com if you need to look up a Pay Station receipt. Only applicable if you paid via credit card.
 
If you have difficulties with a Parking Pay Station or you would like to report a problem, please call the Bethany Beach Police Department at 302-539-1000 or speak to any Police or Parking Enforcement Officer. If the Pay Station is not functioning, customers may still park in the area and purchase a ticket receipt from another nearby Pay Station or use ParkMobile.
