MINI has just launched a new app called JustPark allowing users in the U.K. to reserve a parking spot directly from their dashboard. It's the first car company to offer such an app, which can be downloaded from the Apple Store now.
No word yet on North American availability.
“Just as we use apps to order taxis and takeaways, parking is finally being brought out of the dark ages,” said JustPark founder Anthony Eskinazi.
JustPark-registered drivers can find, book and navigate to a parking space, choosing from over 100,000 spaces across the U.K.
More specifically, drivers can choose whether to input their final destination or search for parking around them while on the go. They then browse a selection of convenient parking spots, from car parks and hotels to homes and pubs. They can explore location details, pricing and reviews left by previous drivers.
Once drivers have chosen and paid for a parking space, they are directed to their destination by the car’s navigation system. The JustPark app is designed to be used while on the move, having undergone extensive safety testing by BMW laboratories in Munich.
MINI wants to eliminate the time spent circling the streets looking for an available and suitable parking spot — an inconvenience that reportedly costs the average driver 106 days of their life.
