Parking solutions for local businesses
Parking also influences your customers’ decisions
When a customer is looking for a dentist, a physiotherapist, a gym or a beauty salon, they don’t just consider the quality of the service or the price; they consider the overall convenience of the experience: how long it takes to get there, and whether they can park nearby. In urban areas, parking is often the deciding factor between whether you’ll return or not, or whether you’ll recommend a place to others or not. Failing to offer viable alternatives to urban mobility problems creates day-to-day operational challenges and hinders the acquisition of new users.
Traffic problems and the struggle to find a parking space cause delays that disrupt the schedules of clinics and service centres.
The lack of convenient, easily accessible customer car parking means that many customers decide not to visit or prefer not to travel by car.
The time wasted driving round looking for a parking space causes frustration for customers, which tarnishes their perception of and experience with your service even before they walk through the door.
Businesses with their own infrastructure attract customers by offering automated car parking, thereby competing on an uneven playing field with local shops.
A more comfortable experience right from the start
The customer experience doesn’t begin when they walk through your door: it begins on the journey there. A customer who parks without any fuss, arrives on time and enters your centre in a relaxed manner has already had a positive start to their experience.

Real-world use cases
This is how various types of local businesses are making use of the Telpark service to improve their customers’ experience.
A dental practice in the centre of Valencia, which was fully booked, noticed that a significant proportion of its new patients did not return for a follow-up appointment. When analysing the feedback, difficulty in parking emerged as one of the recurring issues. After introducing Telpark parking vouchers as a courtesy to all its patients, the rate of repeat visits improved and reviews began to mention the car park as a key selling point of the centre.
A boutique gym in central Madrid was losing members to a fitness chain located in a building with its own car park. With Telpark, it began offering parking tickets included in its higher-priced classes, turning access by car into a value-added selling point that the chain could not match in terms of proximity or personalised service.
For this type of centre, car parking is not just a convenience: it is a genuine necessity for many of its patients. Having a dedicated car park less than a hundred metres from the premises was a key factor in attracting patients referred from nearby clinics and hospitals, who particularly appreciated the ease of access.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does it involve any cost to the business?
Yes, there is a pricing structure based on the number of tickets selected, with a progressive discount based on quantity. In practice, the cost per ticket is very low compared with the value it brings in terms of building customer loyalty and attracting new customers. A Telpark adviser will explain the current prices to you and help you choose the package best suited to your volume of appointments, with no obligation.
Can I choose how much to subsidise my customers’ parking?
Yes, you have complete flexibility. You can cover 100% of the parking cost as a courtesy to all your customers, offer a partial discount on the standard rate, or make the benefit conditional on the type of service booked or the cost of the appointment. The model adapts to your strategy and you can adjust it at any time.
Do I need to install anything on my premises?
No. The Telpark ticketing system requires no hardware, physical installation or alterations to your business premises. You receive the tickets in either physical or digital format and can start offering them from day one, without your team needing any specific technical training.
How do customers access parking?
Customers gain access to the car park by taking a ticket at the barrier; at the end of their visit, at the pay station, they insert the ticket provided by the local business together with their original ticket, and the time indicated on the ticket is automatically deducted.
