QR codes for vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) are becoming all the more popular and practical tools for solving a variety of everyday life problems. They provide a simple, fast, and effective method of communication with the car’s owner, with no exchange of personal data involved!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
PLACEMENT
You place the QR code on your vehicle in a visible spot, for example, the corner of your car window, or near the door handle.
SITUATION
If someone needs a way to contact (say, your car is blocking an entrance or something is wrong with it), all the person has to do is scan the code.
CHAT & CONTACT
A chat will be created between you and the person who scanned the code for conversation to happen in a built-in messenger. None of your personal data will be shown unless you purposefully allow it.
INSTANT
You will receive an instant notification of your find and can get your item returned back to you
EASY SETUP OF THE TAG
It is also incredibly easy to set up a smart QR tag using just your phone. Input the necessary information that allows others to contact you. You can also submit info from another person (like a family member or a close friend), so someone can be aware of such situations when you're unavailable to do so yourself. You can change or hide said data at any time.

Circumstances in which you might need QR Codes for vehicles
- Your vehicle is blocking another person’s car or blocking an entrance/exit
As described already, it could easily happen to anybody. You accidentally park somewhere you shouldn’t have and block a path for someone else. In this case, the other person can contact you by scanning your personal tag and give you a heads up about the situation, generally via a simple message. This helps to solve the issue quickly, with no conflicts or annoyances.
- City parking with a time limit
In cities, there are often strict parking rules in place. If your parking time is expiring or has already expired, but you have business or personal matters requiring your time, the parking workers can contact you without calling for a tow truck. It generally helps you to avoid fines or time-consuming annoyances related to retrieving a vacant car.
- Random damage to the vehicle
If anybody accidentally scratches your car while driving, while parking, or anywhere else, the QR tag will basically be there to help them contact you and notify you about the situation. This can be super useful, as the offender now doesn’t have to leave a physical note with their contact details, which can get wet, torn apart, or even stolen. This solution promotes responsible behavior between drivers, and it helps resolve any issues with insurance companies.
- Traveling between countries
While traveling between countries by road (mainly in Europe, but in other areas too), the QR tag helps breach the language barrier via an automated message translation. Locals can contact you, no matter where you are or which language you speak. It is especially important if you’re traveling in regions with multiple languages or traffic codes.
- The car was spotted in a shady situation
For example, the vehicle might have been unattended for a long time with an open window or with the lights on, or it might have even had signs of being hacked/broken into. A passerby in this scenario can warn the owner via the QR tag. We obviously hope nothing like this happens to you, but just in case of an emergency, an immediate notice can help prevent theft, vandalism, or any other sort of trouble.
- Parking near houses/apartment complexes
In an apartment building with many living spaces, there are often feuds and conflicts over limited parking spaces and improperly used parking spaces. Once again, a QR code can help, as people would have a direct contact line in case any of their neighbors create an inconvenience like taking an assigned parking spot, for example. Long term, this would also mean the attitude between neighbours could potentially improve over time due to fewer parking conflicts.
- Social events/gatherings and huge car congestions
Concerts, festivals, sports events, and other social activities involving large crowds, where many people park their cars, can be improved for both organizers and participants alike. By the use of a QR code event and parking staff will have a way of contacting drivers in case their vehicle needs to be relocated or an emergency occurs.
WHY QR CODES ARE A MUST
-
Safety - the dialogue can be private and anonymous, if that’s what you need.
-
Ease - there’s no more need for notes under windshield wipers or frantically looking for a vehicle’s owner in the parking lot.
-
Speed , there’s a fast contact line, in cases where time is of the essence.
-
Information - there’s the ability to display only certain information if you choose.
-
Simpleness - a QR tag for a car is a simple, yet effective way to have an open line of contact with other drivers or anyone in need, really. It helps solve minor on-road problems, fast and easily for all parties.
