Find a truck parking space nearby – with MapTrip
Finding and booking truck parking has never been so easy
Truck drivers know the problem: After a long day on the road, the search for a safe and available parking space begins. Especially on busy highways or in densely populated areas, it can be difficult to find a suitable parking spot. This is exactly where the new truck parking function from MapTrip Maps comes in, offering a digital solution to find available parking spaces along the route quickly and reliably.
And starting in May 2025, we’re taking things one step further through our partnership with Happy Trucker: many truck parking spots will be available for direct booking! This ensures integration with Europe’s largest network of bookable parking spaces.
How does the new truck parking search work?
Truck parking search from MapTrip Maps uses an intelligent interface that displays available parking spaces at truck stops, rest areas, and designated truck parking areas in real time. Dispatchers can find parking spaces along the planned route and schedule the parking spots. This stress-free parking search with pre-booked parking spaces ensures more safety and comfort for your drivers.
Thanks to the integration with Happy Trucker, dispatchers can now see bookable parking spaces along the planned route and assign them directly to drivers. The booked parking spot appears as a stopover on the route. Bookings are made via Happy Trucker, including an overview of all reservations.
Even without a booking, parking at certified, secure truck parking areas along the route reduces the risk of theft and damage, providing greater safety for both drivers and cargo.
Real-time availability and smart route planning
Real-time data transmission is a special highlight of the app. Thanks to modern sensor technology and connections to various parking space operators, drivers receive up-to-date information about the availability of parking spaces when using the MapTrip Truck app.
Where can I find a truck parking space nearby?
The “Find parking space nearby” function in the MapTrip Truck App is very convenient. Through the app’s location sharing, the system can immediately determine where free truck parking spaces are located near your current position, allowing you to navigate directly to them. Of course, according to the set vehicle profile, the app also considers local features such as low bridges, truck traffic restrictions, and hazardous materials limitations. The vehicle size, weight, and cargo settings you’ve entered are also considered on the way to the parking space.
