ParkJockey App Now Live in Chicago!

MAY 27: PARKJOCKEY IS NOW TAKING OVER THE WINDY CITY!

Parking Chicago

ParkJockey’s pioneering new app and website will cut the time it takes Chicagoans to find a parking space from twenty down to two minutes! Launching with over 4,000 parking spaces in the system for Chicago, ParkJockey app allows users to browse for nearby parking spaces, compare prices, book and pay for parking with just one touch. By programming their preferences into the app, users can trust ParkJockey to find and book the most optimal parking option for them with a simple click on the “BOOK” button.

Research shows that drivers spend over 8,000 hours in their lifetime (close to a year) looking for somewhere to park. ParkJockey provides a painless solution to this problem, allowing drivers to quickly and easily plan their journey ahead of time, cutting out the need for that last minute frantic circle around the block to find a suitable space.

Whether arranging your travel in advance, or making a last minute booking, ParkJockey takes all the hassle out of parking, leaving you with more time to get on with what really matters.

The app seamlessly syncs with your calendar, estimates driving time, parking space availability and walking distance from the drop off point to your next appointment to give an accurate picture of the complete journey from start to finish.

ParkJockey is now available to download and use in Chicago from the App Store or Google Play.
