Stress-free shopping, relaxed parking: We make it possible!

Customers who want advice before deciding on a new electrical appliance or want to try on clothes and shoes before they buy them go to the nearest shopping center or shopping arcade in a large city. They not only support local retailers, but can also take their purchases home with them.

Seasonal discounts, which are common in the upcoming summer sales, often pose challenges for retailers and their employees. This is because the special offers attract bargain hunters to the shopping streets and shopping centers. 

But imagine driving to the shopping center and effortlessly finding a parking space without any traffic jams at the entrance. Sounds good, doesn't it?

Mobility Hub valet parking makes this a reality! We make sure that your visit to the shopping center starts and ends relaxed, even when the hustle and bustle is raging around you.

Do you have a parking space and are interested in barrier-free parking?

The shopping day: challenges and their solutions

Especially during seasonal sales or before public holidays, a visit can quickly become a test of patience. Special offers attract many bargain hunters - and the rush is inevitable. This can dampen the mood:

  • Queuing at the entrance to the parking garage: there's a traffic jam even before you park.
  • Long queues in the stores: The checkout queues are endless.
  • Full hands, full parking machine: And then you have to queue at the machine to pay with packed shopping bags.

However, a visit to the shopping center can also be relaxed in the middle of the sales hustle and bustle, namely when the first hurdle is removed: the stressful search for a parking space.

Stress-free parking in the shopping center with Mobility Hub valet parking

A visit to the shopping center can be much more relaxed if parking works smoothly right from the start. This is exactly where we come in. We offer you a digital, barrier-free solution. It is already being used successfully in the "daseinstein" shopping center in Munich, for example.

How your seamless parking experience with Mobility Hub Parking Service works:

  • Data protection-compliant license plate recognition: When you enter and exit the car park, your license plate number is automatically recorded in compliance with data protection regulations. The system then calculates your parking time.
  • Flexible payment - the choice is yours: You can pay conveniently:
    • At modern touchscreen machines with user-friendly menu navigation, simply enter your license plate number. Depending on what the shopping center offers, you can pay cashless or even in cash. Of course, you will receive a receipt on request.
    • Even easier: pay digitally with your smartphone via popular parking apps or simply online. Then you don't have to go to the pay machine at all!
  • Exact parking time and time buffer: Depending on the size of the parking garage or lot, you still have about 15 minutes after payment to walk comfortably to your car and leave the parking area.
  • Free parking time: Many shopping centers even offer a free parking period. For you, this means that if you only go into the shopping center for a short time and leave again within this time, you park completely free of charge! This ensures that the parking spaces really do remain free for customers and are not blocked by long-term parkers.

How you and your customers benefit!

The advantages of innovative parking systems at peak times - for you!

1. seamless entry and exit for parking areas and multi-storey parking lots: Especially when there is a lot going on - for example on Saturdays or during major shopping events such as "Black Friday" - barrier-free entry is worth its weight in gold. You and other visitors can enter and exit the parking area seamlessly at any time. No stopping, no pulling tickets! This prevents tailbacks at the entrance and makes your parking process much faster. This is not only more convenient, but also reduces CO₂ emissions.

2. flexible payment for maximum convenience: the choice is yours! Whether at the machine or via app - you decide how you want to pay. So you can end your visit to the shopping center without having to wait at the machine, even when it's busy.

3. no more searching for a parking space unnecessarily: Thanks to the smart monitoring of parking spaces, it is ensured that third-party parkers do not permanently block the spaces. For you, this means more free parking spaces when you need them! Your shopping trip to the shopping center begins in a relaxed manner instead of with a frustrating search.

4. data protection you can trust: At Mobility Hub Parking Service, the protection of your data is important to us. License plate recognition complies with data protection regulations, and your data is deleted after you have left and paid. So you can be sure that your privacy is protected.

MHP in practice: Relaxed parking at the Haerder Center

A great example of how Mobility Hub Parkservice provides a better parking experience is the Haerder Center in Lübeck's Old Town. In the fall of 2022, the old, barrier-based system in the underground garage with 250 parking spaces was replaced by the digital solution from Mobility Hub Parkservice. Since then, it has been the first barrier-free parking garage in Lübeck!

For you as a parker, this means that you can now enter the underground car park seamlessly and without stopping at the entrance and exit, even at peak times. The system is more efficient and reliable because there are no more vulnerable barriers. As Dr. Ralph Bruns from KWL GmbH (operator of the underground car park) explains, you not only benefit from a parking system that makes parking in the city center easier, but also reduces congestion and CO2 emissions. You can pay your parking fee conveniently in cash, by card or by app - just as you wish!
