The challenge

Hospital parking is uniquely complex

NHS trusts and private hospitals face parking challenges that standard systems cannot handle — shift workers arriving at all hours, patients needing validated stays, visitors requiring flexible payment options, and limited spaces that must be managed fairly.

  • Staff permit allocation across multiple departments and shift patterns
  • Patient parking validation for appointments and extended stays
  • Visitor payment that works without broken machines or cash
  • Enforcement that distinguishes between patients and unauthorised vehicles
MyCarPass is built for this

Our platform handles every type of hospital parking user — staff, patients, visitors, and contractors — with rules and permissions tailored to each.

Key features

Everything a hospital needs

Purpose-built features for the unique demands of healthcare parking.

Staff Permit Management

Issue permits to staff based on department, role, or shift pattern. Set quotas, manage waitlists, and automatically validate permits via ANPR.

Patient Parking Validation

Reception staff can validate patient parking with a few clicks. The system extends their permitted stay automatically — no ticket needed.

Cashless Visitor Payments

Visitors pay from their phone — no app, no machine, no cash. Tariffs are calculated automatically based on their stay duration.

ANPR Camera Integration

Number plate recognition at every entry and exit. Automatic barrier control for permitted vehicles, with full audit trails.

Intelligent Enforcement

Only issue PCNs to genuine violators. Staff, patients, and paid visitors are protected. Reduce complaints and appeals.

Reporting & Analytics

Understand occupancy patterns, peak times, and revenue. Export data for trust reporting and compliance requirements.

Staff permits

Fair allocation. Automatic validation.

Hospital staff permit schemes are notoriously difficult to manage. MyCarPass makes it simple — set your allocation rules, let staff apply online, and the system handles validation automatically.

  • Online permit applications with custom forms
  • Scoring based on distance, role, or shift pattern
  • Automatic payroll deduction integration
  • Waitlist management when spaces are full
  • Multiple vehicles per permit holder

Patient validation

Extend stays with a click

Appointments run late. Treatments take longer than expected. With MyCarPass, reception staff can extend a patient's parking validation in seconds — preventing unfair penalty notices for people who had no control over their appointment timing.

  • Search by registration or patient name
  • One-click validation extension
  • Audit trail for all validations
  • Department-level access controls

FAQ

Common questions

Answers to questions we hear from hospital parking managers.

Yes. Staff complete an online application form — you design the questions — and the system can score applications automatically based on distance from home, department, shift pattern, or any other criteria you set. Staff receive email notifications about their application status.

Permits can be configured to allow access at specific times or on specific days. You can also set up multiple permit types — day shift, night shift, weekend only — and allocate them to staff based on their working pattern. The ANPR system validates each entry against the permit rules.

Yes. Staff with the appropriate access level can search for a vehicle by registration number and extend its permitted stay. This takes seconds and leaves a full audit trail. You can restrict this feature to specific departments or roles.

Visitors pay from their phone using our Pay for Parking feature. They enter their registration number and the system calculates the charge based on how long they've been in the car park. Payment is processed through Stripe — no app download required, no cash, no parking machine.

MyCarPass is GDPR compliant and hosted on secure UK infrastructure. We can work with your Information Governance team to complete any required Data Protection Impact Assessments. The system does not store patient health data — only vehicle and parking information.

Yes. We can export permit holder data in formats compatible with NHS payroll systems, allowing automatic monthly deductions for staff parking charges. The specifics depend on your payroll provider, but we've integrated with most major NHS systems.
