Shared car parks at Bordeaux Mérignac airport, a simple solution to park

Near Bordeaux Mérignac airport, Zenpark offers 4 shared car parks. Directly available online, these car parks complement the already existing car park offer. The aim is to offer motorists new possibilities to park their vehicle. Indeed, the airport has different types of parking depending on the duration of parking. Depending on the parking conditions, the price of each car park differs. With Zenpark’s shared car parks motorists can find a parking space in seconds.

In particular, they can choose to park for a short, medium or long term. The objective of shared parking is to offer an offer at the best price. In addition, the car parks of the ZenPark application are not only available around Bordeaux Mérignac airport but throughout the country. Thus, shared car parks revolutionize parking and above all allow motorists to find the best parking solution at best, especially in the city.

Shared car parks to the rescue of motorists in the city

In the city, motorists are facing new parking problems. Indeed, cities are rethinking their spaces and gradually reducing their number of parking spaces or setting up paid parking. It must be said that this choice of mayors is the result of a global desire to make cities cleaner in terms of CO2 emissions. In Bordeaux, parking is paid in the streets with parking meters, on the squares and spaces arranged with a marking on the ground. It is paid all year round from 9am to 7pm with the exception of Sundays and public holidays. If parking spaces become increasingly scarce in the cities of tomorrow, they will mainly be replaced by bike paths or green spaces.

Therefore, even if the environmental problem and the pollution of cities is very real, the car is still widely used by people to get around. For motorists, finding a parking space can then be complicated. It is therefore necessary to find solutions to optimize mobility for all in the city.

The option of shared parking then comes into play. This mode of parking offers new solutions for motorists who are simply looking to park their car simply. Indeed, modern buildings have for the most part with parking lots. However, in the lot, some parking spaces will not be rented or not used by the inhabitants. The goal is therefore to make them profitable so that it serves someone in need. Thus, shared parking managers like Zenpark have emerged.

Zenpark, a pioneer of the concept

The shared car park manager Zenpark is positioning itself as a pioneer in the management of shared car parks. Zenpark was created in 2011 thanks to William Rosenfeld and Fabrice Marguerie. He is also an expert in “smart city” projects. Indeed, it offers users a practical and economical service that allows them to benefit from a parking space for a flexible period ranging from one hour to one month. The concept of Zenpark is simple, it optimizes the vacant places in the private car parks of residences, hotels, or offices to meet the problems of cities. At the same time, the Zenpark manager allows car park owners to make their property profitable if they do not use it. They can then share their places, in a simple and secure way, so as to make their assets more profitable.

Thus, since 2013, users can therefore reserve a parking space both from the site and from the mobile application. In a few years, the concept has been democratized. Zenpark now has more than 1020 shared car parks throughout the country as well as in Belgium. And the development of the manager does not seem to stop since he counts between 1 and 2 new car parks available per day.

Now, finding a parking space is easier with the shared parking system. With the Zenpark app everything is done digitally and contactlessly. On the other hand, this is good news for the environment. Since Zenpark announces that 1000 tons of CO2 have been saved over a year by preventing motorists from looking for a place for too long.
