Porsche Releases Parking App

2021 Porsche Panamera

The Porsche Panamera seemingly defies the laws of the natural world, moving like a dancer while carrying the bulk of an interior lineman. It does everything well…except parallel parking.  Scratch that.

Porsche has announced its own parking app. Porsche Parking Plus is available for download in the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. It helps drivers find and reserve parking spaces for their full-size sport sedan…or for any car, actually. You don’t have to own a Porsche to use it.

Managed by the Chicago-based company Arrive, the free app has many features. It helps users find open parking spots, compare prices, reserve them in advance, and even see feedback from previous customers on parking facilities. Users can search for particular attributes (such as covered parking, or electric vehicle charging). They can reserve a spot, and even see directions navigating them to the location.
