(Chicago, IL - July 16, 2020) - ParkChirp, the commercial parking industry’s most innovative online sales platform, announces over 50 new Chicago parking garages and lots that offer the simplest (and in many cases, the cheapest) options for “contactless” parking in Chicago. As of July 1, 2020, ParkChirp offers parking at 190+ parking garages and lots in Chicago and over 425+ nationwide. The company has a presence in ten major U.S. MSAs, with new garages and lots added every day.

ParkChirp charges parking facilities the lowest transaction fee of any online platform. As a result, many parking facilities pass the savings on to the consumer. This led to the company’s tagline: “ParkChirp - Park Cheep”. “This tagline started out as a play on words, however in today’s economic environment the cost savings are meaningful to parkers” said Erik Eloe, the company’s VP of Operations.

Launched in 2017, ParkChirp is a simple way for Chicago parkers to search for and purchase, hourly and monthly parking as well as special validation package “deals” on the ParkChirp website or app. In most cases, ParkChirp offers the lowest parking rates of any online platform. Using a map-based search, customers simply select their parking and complete the transaction using the company’s fully secure credit card platform. Once completed, the parker can enter and exit gated parking facilities by scanning a QR code. Surface lot parkers simply input their license plate number at the time of purchase, and park on the selected lot.

As Chicago and other cities slowly emerges from the COVID-19 environment and return to work, ParkChirp sees two clear trends. First, as parkers return to work, many are driving and parking more often instead of using public transportation to commute. Second, parkers are searching for “contactless” parking processes more and more. “ParkChirp was conceived as the lowest cost online marketing platform, however contactless parking is suddenly front and center” said Eloe.

ParkChirp offers parking options at many of the Chicago’s top parking facilities located in the city’s most popular neighborhoods, including:

• River North
• Loop
• North Michigan Avenue
• South Loop
• East Loop / Millennium Park
• Northwestern Memorial Hospital Campus
