How to set up a ParkMobile account on the web

  5. Once your account has been created, select the hamburger menu in the top-right corner of the page, and then click Settings. I have the same comment on the "hamburger menu". It does not seem like this term is universally understood.

  6. On the settings page, select Add Vehicle. You will need your license plate number, country, state, and an optional vehicle nickname for easy identification. Also on the settings page, add a payment method by selecting Add a Card and entering credit card information.
