Why we built it

Too many cars circling.Too many empty bays.

In busy cities the problem is not a lack of parking. It is that most of it is private, locked behind a barrier and empty for half the day, while drivers circle the block outside.

Fig. 10The problem

The gap

The bay you need is often right there, two floors down, behind a barrier, booked to someone who drove to work an hour ago.

Two people, one problem

Each side is losing

The driver

  • Circles the block looking for a space
  • Pays for a full day when they needed two hours
  • Arrives late, or parks somewhere they shouldn’t
  • Has no idea which towers have free bays

The owner

  • Pays for a bay that sits empty all day
  • Has a driveway nobody uses on weekdays
  • Has no simple way to let it out safely
  • Can’t hand a stranger a key for two hours

What gets in the way

Why the empty bays stay empty

Letting a bay is hard without the right tool. These are the problems Parking Space is built around.

  • Barriers

    Most private bays are behind a gate or desk. We make every listing say how you get in.

  • Time

    A bay is free for hours, not forever. We let hosts open exact hours and days.

  • Trust

    Strangers need a reason to trust each other. We show reviews, plates and permission to let.

  • Price

    Nobody knows what a bay is worth. We show the host’s price and our fee separately.
