Isle of Wight drivers ditch coins as PayByPhone clocks 255,000 transactions!
PayByPhone, the Isle of Wight’s top mobile parking payment app, smashed it last year with an eye-watering 255,000 transactions. Nearly 50,000 islanders rely on the app to park hassle-free.
New Features Put Parking on the Map
PayByPhone just got smarter. The latest update adds a Maps feature letting drivers spot parking spots before they set off. Once parked, you can pin your car’s location on the map—no more forgetting where you left it!
Plus, the clever Nearby Parking tool instantly shows the closest PayByPhone parking spot as soon as you arrive. Perfect for those last-minute parking scrambles.
“These latest additions let PayByPhone be part of your journey from start to finish,” said Jonny Combe, CEO of PayByPhone UK. “We’re focused on commuters and will roll out more upgrades soon.”
How to Get Parking Power in Your Pocket
- Download the latest PayByPhone app version.

PayByPhone has been a UK staple since 2011 and landed on the Isle of Wight in 2012. With new features and nearly 50k users, it’s clear islanders love going cashless when they park.
