User Reviews

Users consistently praise ParkChicago for being easy to use and convenient for paying and extending parking from a phone, with several noting it stores payment and vehicle details for quick reuse. However, many reviews highlight a harsh $20 minimum deposit that ties up funds and makes short visits impractical, along with auto-reload/preloading and related fees. Payment friction is also common: no Apple Pay in many cases, mixed support for multiple cards, and occasional card or PIN issues. For visitors, the app can feel outdated and cumbersome.

Pros

Easy to use and user-friendly
Convenient to pay and extend parking from a phone
Saves payment and vehicle information for quick reuse
Allows extending time without returning to a meter

Cons

Requires a $20 minimum deposit, tying up funds and making short parking impractical
Preloading and auto-reload mechanisms add friction and can incur fees
Limited Apple Pay support and inconsistent card options (no Apple Pay, some cards rejected)
PIN resets and account access issues (locked out, prompts to update card)
Outdated or clunky design and UX, especially for visitors (manual zone entry, lack of location awareness)

It’s ludicrous to pay 0.35 cents extra every time you park. Just for something that saves a few seconds? No thanks. I’ll use the machine whenever possible.

I have to go through so many steps to create an account and pay for my parking. Way too much work to pay to park for an hour. Such a scam.

I have paying for parking but it is one of the best options for me when in need of parking , if I need to extend my time, I can always go to this app and add more time thru my phone 💗!
