BilVakten

Avoid parking tickets.

BilVakten is the app that knows the rules where you have parked and tells you before it gets expensive.

Quiet until it matters

BilVakten notices where the car is and finds the rules that apply there. If all is well, you hear nothing.
If there is street cleaning or a parking ban tomorrow, you get a warning, with the time and the reason.
If the car is still there, the app counts down, and usually reminds you half an hour before the ban starts.

BilVakten: Payment from 09:00. Pay in your parking app: zone 8010, 15 kr an hour. The sign decides.

A fee from 09:00? You'll know ten minutes before.

BilVakten: Time limit ends at 14:00. At most 1 h here, it seems. Move the car before 14:00. The sign decides.

A one-hour limit? You'll know ten minutes before time runs out.

Do you understand this sign?

You don't have to. BilVakten keeps track of the rules where your car is and tells you what applies.

A P sign with four plates: parking disc 30 min 7–9 and 16–18, a plate with four bars, Månd 8–12 (Monday) with no parking, and an arrow pointing left.
A real sign drivers argued about on Facebook.

Move the car before the ticket lands on the windscreen.

If the car is still there when the ban starts, it costs 900 kr. One tap on “Where can I park?” shows the spot where you can stay longest.

BilVakten: Move the car now. No parking on Östervägen from 10:00 (street cleaning). If the car is still there it costs 900 kr. Where can I park?: Kruthusbacken, south side, about 140 m · No parking Mon 9 Nov 14–⁠18; Idrottsgatan, south-east side, about 300 m · No parking Mon 9 Nov 07–⁠10; Norra vägen, south side, about 370 m · No parking Mon 9 Nov 14–⁠18; Vasavägen, south-west side, about 140 m · No parking Fri 6 Nov 14–⁠18.

Ten metres from the junction. 1,300 kr.

It applies even with no sign. If the spot is on its map, the app tells you.

The wrong zone in your parking app.

Pay in the wrong zone and you can get a ticket even though you paid. BilVakten tells you which zone applies.

A few minutes too long.
