Cashless Parking Payment System introduced by Donegal County Council
The days of scrambling around for change to pay for parking across Donegal are now at an end with a new cashless payment system which was launched on Monday the 22nd of June 2020 by Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council Cllr Rena Donaghey. The phone app will operate in each of the five towns in Donegal that currently have pay and display in operation – Ballybofey, Buncrana, Bundoran, Donegal Town and Letterkenny. It can be used on any of the streets and car parks where pay and display parking currently operate. This new payment option is provided by ParkMagic and drivers who want to avail of the new service can simply search on the internet for “Donegal eParking” and it will bring them to the ParkMagic site OR if they go to www.donegalparking.ie it will bring them to our general parking website site where they then can get access to the eParking website. Once on the site you can directly pay for parking on your Computer, Tablet or Smartphone or download the APP which is free from the APPLE STORE and GOOGLE PLAY. If drivers register for an account either online or via the APP, there are is no monthly administration fee or other charges provided they top up the account by €40 or more at any one time and there is no time limit on using this credit, if they top up by less than €40 then there will be a €1 admin fee on top ups. This credit can also be used on TollTag.ie when using any of the country’s toll roads.
