How to purchase the parking permit

Contact your department to get a requisition for the parking permit. The department will assess whether you need long-term parking.

Bring the requisition to the patient information desk in the foyer at the main entrance. There, the vehicle's registration number will be registered in Aimo Park's parking system. You will then have a digital parking permit. This will automatically expire after one week.
