An owner's guide to sharing an unused parking space

Many homes, offices and shops have parking that sits empty for hours. Sharing it can earn you something and help neighbours who need a place to park.

Check you can share it

Make sure you have the right to share the space. If it belongs to a building or society, confirm any permissions or rules before you list it.

Decide your hours

Choose the times you are happy to make available. An office basement might be free after six in the evening, and a residential slot might be free from nine to five.

Write clear access notes

Explain how drivers get in: the gate, the ramp, whether an attendant is present, and what to do on arrival. Clear notes lead to smoother visits and fewer questions.

  • Add photos of the entrance and the bay.
  • State any height or vehicle limits.
  • Keep entry instructions up to date.

Set a fair price

Look at what nearby spaces charge and consider your hours and costs. You choose your own rates, and you can change them at any time.

Protect yourself

Do not assume your property or a parked vehicle is insured through a booking. Check your own insurance and confirm any protection with the Parkafella team before you list.
