How do I use tandem parking on the Parkable app?

With the Parkable app, you can chat with people parked in the same tandem bay. This makes it easier to coordinate leaving times and ensure that no one gets stuck!

With the Parkable app, you can chat with people parked in the same tandem bay. This makes it easier to coordinate leaving times and ensure that no one gets stuck!

This is how tandem parking works:

  1. The Parkable app will tell you if you've been assigned a tandem bay, and ask if you'd like to continue or cancel the booking.
  2. Before parking, the app will require you to enter your estimated leave time. This will be displayed to others in your tandem bay.
  3. A messaging chat will appear in the app, allowing you to communicate with others parking in the same tandem bay.
  4. Whenever someone sends a new message in the chat, you will be alerted via a push notification. Please ensure that push notifications from Parkable are turned on.

Note: The Parkable app is there to facilitate communication between those in tandem bays, but for it to work effectively you will need to be conscientious and communicate with others in your tandem.
