Yes, by simply presenting their driver's license in front of their phone camera, Hawaii residents can effortlessly obtain preferential rates or free parking for a specified duration, while non-resident visitors are charged the standard rate.

Presently, the Rates for Residents™ program is available at two Hawaii-based locations, including zone 302 on the Big Island and zone 22 on Maui.

To register, residents must possess a valid Hawaii driver’s license. Although registration is a one-time process, activating a new session during each visit is mandatory.

  1. Proceed to any paid parking sign in the parking lot and look for the Hawaii Resident section. Scan the QR code or text the zone # to our 5-digit phone number, 42222.

  2. The system will respond with a text message including a link to verify Hawaii residency using a valid Hawaii driver’s license.

  3. Residents will receive an alert 15 minutes prior to the expiration of their allotted time period, giving them the option to extend their stay by paying the standard visitor parking rate for every additional 15-minute interval.

Once registered with Rates for Residents™ at any location, the system will recognize the associated phone number at all other PARKLINQ® locations throughout the state.

To start a new parking session, text the parking lot's zone number to 42222, confirm the license plate, and the system will automatically begin a free session, recognizing the registered phone number.

PARKLINQ uses license plate numbers to keep track of which vehicles have registered and paid for parking. Once payment is made, the information is made available to parking attendants or enforcement officers on-site. Using a handheld device, attendants can quickly look up your zone number and license plate number to confirm that you have paid and registered for parking. This ensures a hassle-free experience and provides peace of mind for both drivers and parking operators.

PARKLINQ typically collects minimal information for most paid parking, including your license plate number (for enforcement), phone number, or email (to provide a receipt and reminder before expiration) and a payment method (like a credit card or Apple Pay®).

However, two of our products, Rates for Residents™ and Required Documents, require verification to reserve a parking spot. These programs verify users' identity to prevent fraud and provide hassle-free service for legitimate customers.

Rates for Residents™ offer preferential parking rates for locals with a valid Hawaii driver's license, while Required Documents streamline identity and insurance verification for long-term parkers during onboarding and meet crucial compliance requirements for property owners' insurance.

Our proprietary enforcement portal, along with 24/7 video monitoring, enables our parking enforcers to check license plates and enforce parking rules. Through our enforcement portal, we can leave warning notes, issue parking tickets, and even tow vehicles if necessary, with an average response time of less than 20 minutes. This ensures effective enforcement, equivalent to having someone on-site without requiring someone to be there 24/7.
