WHY HOTSPOT?

REMOTE TOP UP

When you create a parking session, you don’t have to worry about running back to the meter to top up your parking. You can simply add more time with the mobile app!

EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS

If you set a parking session for 2h, and only use 1h of parking, you can refund the remaining credit to your HotSpot account with our refund feature!

WORRY-FREE PARKING

Through the Parking Extender feature, we are able to create or extend a parking session for you if you forget to start a session or your session ended recently!

MARITIME ACCESS

With our HotSpot parking system integrated into Fredericton, Halifax, Moncton, Saint John, and Charlottetown, you’re able to use our service in any of these cities!
