Paying to park
On many of Stockholm’s streets you need to pay a fee to park.
You can pay for your parking in two ways:
- using the digital payment services of authorized contractors
- in pay-and-display machines.
Digital payment services
There are four contractors that provide digital payment services for parking on public space in the City of Stockholm:
- Easypark
- Epark
- Mobill
- Parkster.
Choose the contractor that best suits your needs. Please note that contractors are permitted to offer add-on parking services and that charges may vary between contractors.
Contractors that offer parking by app without extra charges
Parkster and Epark offer parking without extra charges through their apps.
To park with Epark without an extra charge you need to:
- use the Epark app
- create a verified account
- choose a debit card as your payment method.
To verify your account, update the app to the latest version and verify your account using BankID under “My Account” in the app.
With Epark, you can opt to verify your account or to leave it unverified. However, if you have not verified your account using BankID, you are automatically subject to the terms and conditions for Epark Quick. An administration fee is charged for this service. For this reason, you should verify your account in the app using BankID to avoid the extra fee.

Download the app from the Epark website or search for “epark” in the App Store or Google Play.
Resident parking is also possible with Epark with no extra fee. Remember that you need a valid resident parking permit from the City of Stockholm.

Contractors that offer parking with no extra fees via online services
Easypark and Mobill offer parking with no extra fees via online services.
To park with Easypark with no extra fees, there is an online service that has been specially designed for parking in Stockholm.
The online service is a simplified version of Easypark’s app where you can, for example, start, stop or extend parking sessions. To pay for parking in public space with the online service, you need to know which tariff zone you are parking in. Information about the tariff zone for parking in public space is available on the street signage.
Easypark’s full range of services for parking and charging can be accessed in the Easypark app with additional fees.
Resident parking is also possible with Easypark with no extra fee. Remember that you need a valid resident parking permit from the City of Stockholm.

The City's authorisation system for payment services
The City of Stockholm has an authorisation system for contractors wishing to offer a payment service for parking in public space.
To become authorised, all contractors must offer a payment service without additional fees over and above the parking tariff. All of the City’s tariffs for parking in public space (tariff rates 1–30) must be available in the services, including rates for resident parking.
There are currently four authorised contractors:
- Easypark
- Epark
- Mobill
- Parkster.
Two of the contractors offer a payment service without extra charges in their apps (Parkster and Epark) and two via online services (Easypark and Mobill).
If your chosen contractor does not meet the expected requirements for a service, we suggest that you compare them with the other contractors.

For questions about parking in Stockholm Parkering’s underground, multi-storey and surface car parks, we advise you to contact Stockholm Parkering. Please note that the fees that contractors charge for parking in these facilities may be different to their fees for parking in public space.
