4. Mobile application “Sheremetyevo Parking”: features and bugs
Application Sheremetyevo Parking (available for iOS and Android) allows you to pay for parking in 2 clicks, reserve spaces and receive notifications about the end of the paid time. However, users often encounter technical problems:
- 🔄 Time is not synchronized - the application may show incorrect remaining parking time (solution: update the data manually by pulling the screen down).
- 📵 Push notifications are not received — check your phone settings (app notification permission).
- 💳 Debiting funds without confirmation — the bug occurs when the Internet is weak. Always wait for an SMS from the bank.
📌 How to avoid problems:
- Before entering the parking lot, open the application and update the data (the “Update status” button).
- After payment, take a screenshot of the receipt - it will be useful if the data is not synchronized.
- If the application freezes, restart it or use the web version.

5. Common mistakes and how to avoid them
According to airport statistics, 1 in 5 drivers makes mistakes when paying for parking online, which leads to fines or blocking the exit. Here are the most common cases:
⚠️ Attention: If you paid for parking but forgot your receipt number, don't panic. The receipt can be restored in your personal account on the website parking.svo.aero in the "Payment History" section. To do this, you will need the car number and payment date.
- ⏰ 5–10 minutes late — the system writes off a full hour, even if you are a few minutes late. Solution: pay with a reserve of 15–20 minutes.
- 🚗 Vehicle number mismatch — if a different number is indicated on the receipt, the barrier will not open. Always check your details before paying.
- 📱 Payment through unverified services - Fraudsters create copies of the parking website. Always check the URL (must start with
https://parking.svo.aero). - 💰 Lack of funds on the card — the system blocks the amount immediately after payment. If there is not enough money, the transaction fails and the place is not booked.
🔧 Technical lifehack: If you often park at Sheremetyevo, create payment template in your personal account. This will allow you to pay for parking in 1 click, without entering your card details and car number each time.
6. Alternative payment methods: what to do if the site does not work

- 🏦 Sberbank ATMs — ATMs with a parking payment function are installed in terminals A, B, C (section “Payments in the region” → “Airports” → “Sheremetyevo”).
⚠️ Attention: When paying through terminals or ATMs always take a receipt. Without it, you will not be able to confirm payment upon departure, and the system may charge the funds again.
The most reliable payment method is through the official website or application. Use alternative methods (terminals, telephone) only as a last resort, as they may take longer or have limitations.
