New Ways to Pay for Parking: Trust Parking App
March 20, 2026
Following the recent upgrade of the pay stations across our Penryn Campus car parks, there are now additional ways to pay for your parking using the new Trust Parking app.
The Trust Parking app means that you no longer need to visit the pay stations to make a payment for parking. An additional feature of the app is Auto‑Pay, which makes paying for parking even easier and you don’t have to think about paying.
With a payment method saved in the App, and Auto-Pay enabled, your vehicle registration will be recognised as you drive through the barriers and you will be let out of the car park and automatically charged, with a receipt sent to your inbox.
The Trust parking app currently boasts over 350,000 downloads and is available on the App Store and on Google Play.
Key Benefits include:
- Quick and simple sign-up
- Add multiple vehicles to your account
- Enable Auto‑Pay for seamless entry and exit
- Automatic email receipts
Although we have moved to a new system, parking prices remain the same whether you pay via the app or choose to use one of the pay stations.
How to get started?
Simply download the Trust Parking App and follow the onscreen instructions to:
- Create an account. You will need to verify your account using a valid email address.
- Add your vehicle details. You can add multiple vehicles if you need to.
- Add a payment method. You will also have the option to enable Auto-Pay if you want to.
How the app works?
When you drive into the car park the ANPR camera on the barriers reads your registration plate and your live session begins. You will see your parking session appear in the ‘Session’ tab within the app. Drive out of the car park and the camera will match your vehicle registration and you will automatically be charged and a receipt sent to your email address. Don’t worry if you do not want to use Auto-Pay. You can also open the app shortly before you want to leave, tap on the session and pay.
