Abstract: Electronic system for managing the payment by the users of car parks comprising at least one kiosk (16, 18 or 20) used by a user to perform a payment corresponding to the period of time the user's car is authorized to be parked in a car park (10, 12 or 14) and a payment device located located inside the user's car having a screen visible from outside for displaying the time limit until which the car is authorized to be parked. The kiosk and the payment devices of the cars parked in the car park are connected by a wireless link so that the kiosk detects a car when it is parked within the car park and registers the car identification, the kiosk transmitting to the payment device the time limit to be displayed on its screen after the user has performed the payment corresponding to the amount of time for which the car will be authorized to be parked.
