Electronic parking and tolling tag provider Easytrip has partnered with Payzone's Parking Tag to offer a single parking service for parking on-street and in commercial car parks in what they describe as Ireland's largest integrated parking network.

Drivers with Easytrip or Parking Tag accounts will have free access to the 60,000 parking spaces offered by both companies, including Easytrip's portfolio of 53 off-street car parks and Parking Tag's 40,000 parking spaces.
