Unfortunately, sometimes a vehicle may get damaged while parked at one of our facilities. Vehicles park at their own risk, but we will always be available to help investigate any damages that have occurred when parked at out facilities. We have 24/7 surveillance in all our parking garages, and you can request for us to review surveillance footage through a written enquiry to post@bergenparkering.no. We ask that you get in touch as soon as possible or no later than 5 days after the incident, as all footage is automatically deleted after 7 days. Do note that if footage is to be shared externally, this can only be done by the police authorities.
