Street parking – how to pay

Ticket machines

Find a ticket machine closest to your parking. You type the license plate number into the machine and select how many hours you like to stay. Then print out the receipt. The parking inspectors carry a gadget where they scan your license plate and get info from the system whether you’ve paid or not.

The process is simple: You just type in your license plate number, decide how long you need to park and the machine will tell you how much to pay. You can pay with coins (10, 50 and 100 ISK but no change is given) or you can pay with a credit card.
