← Back to Main Article: Flexible Parking Rules Part 1 of 4

The Problem

You want to monetize your parking lot, but you don't want to charge employees, tenants, or regular contractors. Without exemptions, you either don't enforce at all or create headaches processing refunds for people who shouldn't have been charged.

License plate allow listing solves this. The system recognizes approved vehicles and never charges them. No passes, no tickets, no manual overrides.


How It Works

You provide a list of license plates that get free access. When those vehicles enter, the system recognizes them automatically and doesn't bill. Simple.

Who to Exempt


Setting It Up

Collect the Right Information

Enter Plates Correctly

Build Simple Update Processes


Common Situations

New vehicle: Let employees submit updates via email or self-service portal. Process same-day or next-day.

Temporary exemptions: Add contractor plates with automatic expiration dates. Set reminders to remove them when projects finish.

Rule violations: Exemption means no payment, not immunity from all rules. If someone parks in a fire lane, that's a separate issue handled through normal workplace policies.

Family cars: Allow it if they're regular (spouse drops them off daily). Don't allow it for occasional convenience. Set a 1-2 vehicle limit per person.


Keep Your List Clean


What Good Management Looks Like

When it's working:


Quick Start Timeline

After setup, it's just maintenance - adding new hires, removing departures, handling occasional vehicle changes.

Your parking lot should generate revenue from visitors without penalizing your team. License plate allow listing makes that happen automatically.
