Frequently Asked Questions
What Mode Parking does, and how it helps before you even leave.
- What is Mode Parking?
- Mode Parking is a parking discovery and comparison app operated by Mode Global Limited. It helps you find and compare free, timed and paid parking before you arrive at your destination.
- Is Mode Parking related to Parking Mode?
- No. Mode Parking is a parking discovery and comparison app operated by Mode Global Limited, based in Auckland, New Zealand. It is a separate company and product from any similarly named service.
- What problem does it solve?
- Most drivers only find out where they can park after they've already arrived — circling blocks, guessing at restrictions, or discovering too late that the nearest option is the most expensive one. Mode moves that decision earlier, so you can compare your options before you leave.
- What can I do with the app?

- Yes — Mode Parking is free to download, and searching and comparing free, timed and paid parking near your destination is free. An optional Mode Plus subscription is available for extra features.
- Who operates Mode Parking?
- Mode Parking is operated by Mode Global Limited, a company based in Auckland, New Zealand.
- Where is Mode Parking available?
