  • Alerts for temporary "No Parking" signs
  • Alerts when your vehicle needs to move
  • Heads up on parking tickets before they pile up

Families & Fleet Managers

  • Monitor all your vehicles from one app
  • Share alerts with family members

Good Neighbors

See a car about to get a ticket? Notice a vehicle with its lights on? PlatePin lets you help without needing to track down the owner yourself.

  • Report issues anonymously
  • Help neighbors avoid parking issues
  • Build a community that looks out for each other
