Give your crew cheaper parking than the city — without the paperwork
Parking Pirates replaces City of Columbia monthly deck agreements ($65–$85/mo + $25 signup + hangtags) with instant, plate-verified digital passes from $49/employee/month. Employees pay by credit card or you bulk-bill — no access cards, no 6-month lock-in.
The problem
- City monthly parking = PDF forms, email, 3–5 business days
- $25 non-refundable admin fee per employee
- Hangtags fall off, access cards get lost ($10–25 replacement)
- One deck per permit — not multi-zone
- 6-month auto-renew contracts
The Parking Pirates way
- Employee registers in 2 minutes, uploads plate photo
- Pass activates instantly on payment
- Plate = ID — enforcement scans, no hangtag
- One pass: Vista, Five Points, USC perimeter, downtown
- Daily / weekly / monthly — cancel anytime
