Car Park Management
At Creative Car Park we recognise the need for businesses to effectively manage their car parks. Parking is forever at a premium, so you want to provide convenient parking for genuine users and your employees, creating a positive experience for everyone who visits.
But the everyday reality is that nuisance and unauthorised parking can create significant issues for landowners and car park operators. We adopt a simple approach to car park management, using the latest automatic camera technology to increase space availability and ensure parking is always available for the people who really need it. Genuine users can enter their details for free parking, or alternatively pay to park. It’s completely non-confrontational and frees up time to focus on the more important things.
We pride ourselves on providing UK businesses with hassle-free car parking management solutions, along with the potential to generate new revenue from their car parks.
Without Car Park Management
- Genuine users are forced to park elsewhere or abandon their plans
- Your business sees a negative impact on footfall and revenue
- Online reviews highlight frustration with parking ‘niggles’, affecting your ratings and reputation
With Car Park Management
- Ample, convenient parking for genuine users (customers, employees and residents)
- A secure and safe space for people to leave their vehicles
- An overall positive experience for motorists, that begins the moment they enter your car park
Our effective car park management solutions
To help with car park management issues we offer a range of solutions that prevent problem parking and keep your car park accessible, safe and secure – while also unlocking new revenue streams for your business
ANPR Management
Our advanced camera technology automatically captures vehicles as they enter and exit your premises, allowing you to manage your car park and easily identify whether there are unauthorised vehicles taking up valuable spaces
Space Monitoring
If you have special spaces that are being misused, such as disabled drive bays or EV charging spots, or your parking area is part of a larger site, our exclusive SpaceWatch system will monitor and enforce your individual spaces or small areas
Permit Parking
Prevent nuisance parking at your site by implementing our flexible permit system where residents, employees and other approved users are verifying via an online whitelist. Any drivers without a valid permit will be issued with a charge
Pay to Park
By introducing pay to park measures – where users pay for their parking using their mobile phones – you will deter drivers who are abusing your free parking provision. Your business will also generate income from every vehicle parked
Pre-book Parking
If your car park regularly has spare capacity, we can offer some of these empty spaces and make them available for drivers who are actively looking to reserve parking in advance. Then it’s just a case of sitting back and letting the bookings roll in
Parcel Lockers
Self-serve lockers provide you with the opportunity to create a brand-new revenue stream for your business. They take up very little space in your car park and will generate rental revenue, while also increasing footfall at your location

Car Park Management FAQs
What is car park management?
Car park management refers to the planning, organisation and control of private car parks to ensure efficient and orderly use of parking spaces. It involves various strategies, technologies, and processes aimed at providing convenience and minimising congestion for drivers. Creative Car Park is one of the leading providers of car park management services in the UK.
What is a car park management plan?
This is a strategic document that outlines the policies, procedures, and strategies for effectively managing and operating your parking area. This plan is a comprehensive guide for the people responsible for the day-to-day operations of the parking facility. It aims to ensure the efficient use of parking spaces and overall provide a positive customer experience.
Can a private company charge for parking?
Yes, private companies can charge for parking in their private car park. This is a common practice and a source of revenue for many businesses and landowners who have the right to establish their own parking policies and fees – proving it’s within the bounds of applicable laws and regulations.
What powers do private parking companies have?
With proper permission from the landowner, private parking companies are able to enforce their parking policies and regulations on the properties they manage. They can issue Parking Charge Notices (also known as PCNs – not to be confused with a local traffic authority Penalty Charge) to vehicles that are not following the established parking rules, such as exceeding the maximum time limit, parking in restricted areas, or not paying to park.
Do I have to pay for car park management (such as signage cameras, installation of equipment)?
At Creative Car Park, we cover all the setup costs, including equipment installation, so you won’t have to pay anything upfront. This includes cameras, external and internal signage, and a professional in-house installation team to set up the equipment for you. So, you can get your car park up and running with zero initial outlay.
Do I have to have a barrier for my managed car park?
No, you don’t need a barrier. Our advanced ANPR camera technology captures all vehicles entering and leaving the car park, making it a convenient and low-maintenance solution for your needs. By eliminating the need for physical barriers, you can reduce the risk of malfunctions and enjoy a hassle-free experience for your car park users.
How much maintenance will I have to do on my managed car park?
There’s no need for any maintenance as the entire car park management system runs remotely. However, our full support team is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. We also provide onboarding and training to ensure that everyone on your team understands the system. Additionally, we conduct annual checks on the parking signage to ensure that it remains in good condition and is clear, prominent and legible to your car park users.
