Parkmobile is a Good Option

It's been a awhile since we needed to park the car in a metered spot. We needed to run some errands in Arlington and usually use the parking garage. But we decided to use the Parkmobile app we first downloaded quite some time ago. After updating the credit card information we slipped in to a spot right near our destination. A few things have changed - you can actually use it to pay if you are in a garage by scanning the code. The nice thing about using this app is that it updates you on the status from start to end. Because we were in a two hour limited area we would not have the option to renew it for whatever amount of additional time we might need, so this trip needed to be organized. I continue to be amazed by these small conveniences that technology brings to us. It's also a lot cheaper than the garage. I'm glad we don't need to use Parkmobile that often even though we live in the city - getting the car registered and obtaining parking permits is another story. At least we don't need to worry about having enough change to plug the meter. I'm looking forward to the driverless car. Now that would really be a game changer. Wonder how parking will work for that?
