A survey based on SNAP’s third annual TruckPark Tour ound that 80% of drivers surveyed used its payment method for their parking.

The company which specialises in digital marketplace services, including parking and payment services, launched its third TruckPark Tour in the UK at Felixstowe Truckstop on the 26 June.

The tour proceeded to stop in Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, and Poland - concluding in the UK at The Hollies truckstop on the 28 August.

During each event, the SNAP team provided entertainment, competitions, and giveaways for drivers.

 SNAPused the tour to conduct a survey of hundreds of drivers.

It also revealed that 47% of drivers wanted to see more UK sites join the payments network.

In Europe, when asked what else they required from SNAP, 74% of drivers wanted to see more service partners join the network across the continent.

SNAP has over 600 service partners available to their customers and has recently acquired the OTRA truck parking network, offering more than 120 truck parking choices across Europe.

The research also found that 70% of European and UK drivers believed they benefited the most from SNAP’s digital payment system - where drivers no longer have to pay out of their own money and claim it back. Another 28% explained they liked the amount of SNAP parking available, while 27% found SNAP’s website and their driver’s app, intruck, helpful.

James Harding, SNAP marketing and social media executive, said: “The tour last year was a huge success, and we returned bigger and better this year. As we continue to expand into Europe, we wanted to learn more about the behaviours and needs of our European audience, and this year’s tour has been crucial in understanding those.

“As the backbone of global commerce, it’s been fantastic to chat and give back to so many drivers.”

Matthew Bellamy, SNAP MD, commented: “This year’s Truckpark Tour provided us with invaluable learnings that will be vital to our progression. From the feedback we have received, we know there is a need for more SNAP service partners in Europe.

“As we expand, we will continue to provide SNAP parking for drivers traversing tirelessly across the continent.”
