PayByPhone offers great flexibility (Image: Rido - stock.adobe.com) PayByPhone has been appointed by Bedford Borough Council to be the town's exclusive cashless parking payment provider, replacing Phone and Pay.
From now on, residents and visitors will enjoy the simplicity of the global company's cashless parking app across 177 off and on-street locations in Bedford. Adam Dolphin, managing director UK for PayByPhone, said: “We are delighted to offer residents and visitors to this beautiful market town the secure, easy and fast option of cashless parking. "It offers drivers great flexibility, enabling them to start and to extend their parking sessions in a matter of seconds through the PayByPhone app or wearable device.
"This means there is no need to worry about rushing back to vehicles to extend parking sessions if they want to stay longer than they had planned when going about their daily life or visiting some of the town’s attractions including the Higgins Art Gallery and Museum, the Bedford Corn Exchange, or the University of Bedfordshire Theatre.” More than parking PayByPhone offers a secure, easy and fast option of cashless parking (Image: PayByPhone) Drivers will find that the PayByPhone app is about more than parking - it offers many of their vehicle needs in one convenient app. The 'Maps' feature on the app allows them to locate parking before they leave for their destination and to pin their vehicle location onto the map once they have parked.
The 'Nearby Parking' feature instantly provides them with the closest PayByPhone parking location number. The 'Fuel' finder helps users find petrol and diesel stations and prices, and the 'EV Charge Locator' and 'EV Payments' enable users to find EV charging stations and pay for the session as well. Additionally, the app’s MOT bookings system not only reminds the user of when their MOT is due, but also makes managing the task easier.
Plus, the app is available in 14 languages, making it inclusive for anyone who visits the market town.

This convenient one-stop-shop solution allows businesses to consolidate their parking expenses into one place for greater oversight, and alleviates drivers of the financial burden of paying for parking out of their own pocket and waiting to be reimbursed.
Dolphin added: “We are happy that PayByPhone will make the not only the parking experience but also general vehicle management as hassle-free as possible for residents and visitors. "People have busy lives and our app simplifies things so they can get on with what matters most to them, without having to worry about parking. "We encourage drivers to download the PayByPhone app now, so they can use the new service straight away.
Registration takes less than 30 seconds.” For a full list of areas where PayByPhone is available, and to start using it today, download the app from the App Store or Google Play Store or visit paybyphone.co.
