Can I use leftover credit in another space or on another day?

No. Zona Azul credit is tied to the plate + location + specific period. If you paid until 2 p.m. and left at 1 p.m., the remaining 1 hour of credit is not transferable to another space or another day [1].

Why It's Not Transferable

The Zona Azul system records a specific session:

• Plate: ABC1D23
• Zone: Downtown - Sector 3
• Start: 12:00
• End: 14:00

This session cannot be "paused" and resumed in another context because the goal is to ensure turnover in that specific space during that period.

Exceptions (Rare)

Feature	Availability	How It Works
Pause parking	Very rare (e.g., Goiânia/GO)	Frees the space and "freezes" the remaining time
Prepaid credits	Some apps	You buy credits to use whenever you like (but each session is new)
Automatic refund	Doesn't exist	Unused time is lost

Practical Tip

To minimize waste:

1. Pay only for the time you need: Digipare lets you activate in fractions (30 min, 1h, 1h30)
2. Renew if needed: Better to pay less and renew than to pay too much and waste it
3. Use the expiration alert: Know exactly when your time runs out
