Choosing the Right Parking Operator Matters

Not all operators are built the same. Here’s how our approach compares so you can choose the partner that truly aligns with your goals.

Their Approach

The Metropolis Technologies acquisition is intended to create a better customer experience through parking technology like LPR camera detection and mobile pay options, combined with SP+’ wide-reaching management and operations network. SP+ has expanded its range of parking technology solutions with the introduction of Sphere. Sphere offers a suite of tools to enable remote parking management and performance monitoring. However, many SP+ services are still primarily provided by staff that serve as consultants for clients, including internal financial management and auditing teams. This approach relies on training and managing personnel rather than leveraging technology solutions to automate standard parking management functions while maximizing revenue through dynamic pricing.

Our Approach

AirGarage takes a modern, full-stack approach to parking management—combining technology, operations, and customer service into a seamless solution.

Instead of simply overseeing a property, we actively manage it to maximize revenue, improve the driver experience, and reduce headaches for owners.

Our model is transparent and aligned: we only succeed when you do.

That means no hidden fees, no hands-off oversight, and no outdated systems. Just real-time data, responsive support, and a commitment to keeping your property clean, safe, and profitable.
