An official parking payment app in Copenhagen, Aalborg, Roskilde and Aarhus: your parking goes straight into the system parking enforcement checks. Around the payment, Legal Parking helps you find parking near where you're going, check the rules before you park, avoid a 510 kr fine with reminders before your time runs out, and walk straight back to your car. Free to download, no account needed, in multiple languages.
Legal Parking is an official parking payment app in Copenhagen, Aalborg, Roskilde and Aarhus. In Copenhagen, it is on Københavns Kommune's list of parking apps, and it registers your parking in the city's Parking Rights Service (PRS), the system parking enforcement checks. In Aalborg and Roskilde, Legal Parking sells parking by agreement with Aalborg Kommune and Roskilde Kommune, and every parking is sent to Arrive SmartHUB, where the municipality's parking enforcement sees it. Paid parking costs the municipality's rate plus a 15% service fee (min. 4 kr), and you see the full price before you confirm. Free time that must be registered costs 0 kr.
Payment is only one step. Legal Parking helps with the whole trip, and with avoiding a 510 kr parking fine: search parking near any address, understand the rules (in Copenhagen, street by street and with an AI sign reader), get reminders before your time runs out and extend from your phone, stop early and pay less, and find your car again, even three levels underground. See how it stacks up against every other Copenhagen parking app.
