Cashless payment machines are often more affordable to purchase, as mechanical security measures, such as secure cash boxes to protect against vandalism and cash theft, are not required.
Additionally, cash payment machines are equipped with many moving components to process and store coins and notes, making them more expensive to manufacture and maintain.
Cost-effective cashless machines are particularly appealing to operators with smaller budgets, such as municipalities or those managing smaller car parks.

In addition to savings on labour, several cash-related expenses can be avoided when operating cashlessly:
Operating cashless minimizes the risk of theft and vandalism targeting pay stations. After all, if there is no cash to be collected, there is no incentive for criminal activity.
Additionally, the risk of receiving counterfeit notes or coins is completely eliminated, along with the need for associated inspection and verification procedures.
A great example of this is the parking management at the Alte Mühle in Ramsau. You can find the full reference story here: RVB – Ramsauer Verkehrsbetriebe.

Searching for coins or notes, placing them into the machine, and waiting for change can significantly slow down the payment process, often causing queues at cash payment machines.
This issue is especially troublesome in crowded parking areas or places where many people depart at the same time – like after major events or at ski resorts – leading to customer frustration and irritation.
Cashless terminals allow faster payments and therefore reduce the wait times at the checkout. Additional options like online payments or parking apps provide extra convenience, as customers can pay directly without having to visit the machine at all.
The operators of the Geisskopfbahn appreciate that ski and hiking guests no longer need to wait in line at the payment machines at the end of their visit.
Customers are placing increasing value on modern and convenient payment options. Cashless methods, such as contactless payments, online transactions, or parking apps, eliminate the hassle of handling small change and reduce wait times at machines.
Today, many drivers of all age groups not only want a stress-free and seamless experience when parking but also when paying for parking fees.
