What is worth listing
Almost anything with a gate and a boundary. The spaces that do best are the ones near somewhere people already need to be — a station, a market, a hospital, an office block, a wedding venue — and that are empty for predictable stretches of the day.
- A society or apartment bay — Especially a second allotted bay, or your own while you are at work.
- A driveway or gated compound — Short-term parking for visitors to the street you live on.
- Shop or office forecourt — Empty every evening and all weekend for most businesses.
- Vacant plot or farmhouse frontage — Event and overflow parking, where organised options run out first.
- A home EV charger — A wallbox is idle most of the day. Add it with its connector type, speed and your own tariff.
How to list a space
- 1. Sign in and switch to owner mode — The same account works for both sides; you are not creating a second login.
- 2. Add the space — Photos, price, availability, and what it offers — parking, charging, or both.
- 3. Declare that it is yours to let — Owners confirm they own or control the space. Every listing is moderated before it appears.
- 4. Take bookings from the owner dashboard — Confirm or decline requests, see upcoming sessions, and track what you have earned.
What you keep
The price on your listing is the price the driver pays, and they pay it to you at the space. ParkingNearby does not take a percentage, does not hold the money and does not settle it to you later — there is nothing in between you and the payment. The platform's revenue comes from the yearly listing plan and from the credits drivers buy to unlock spaces, not from your rate.
The practical consequence is that raising your price raises your income by the full amount, and there is no fee schedule to reverse-engineer before you can work out what a booking is worth.
Staying in control
Your exact address is not public. Listings appear blurred until a driver spends a credit on yours specifically, which means your location is revealed to people who have committed to parking there, not to anyone browsing a map or scraping one.
You confirm every booking, so nobody arrives unannounced. A request you do not answer expires after 12 hours instead of hanging over the space indefinitely. QR check-in records exactly when a driver arrived and left, which is what you need if a session runs long. And if something goes wrong, you can report it and a person reviews it.
Common questions
I own a parking space. How do I list it and what does it cost?
Sign in, switch to owner mode, and add your space with photos, price and availability. Listing runs on a yearly plan — once you're on it, you can manage bookings and track earnings from the owner dashboard.
I have an EV charger. Can I list it?
Yes. When you add a space you choose what it offers — parking only, charging only, or both — and you can change that later. Add each connector with its type, speed, number of guns and its own tariff. Mark a charger out of service any time and it stops appearing in driver searches until you switch it back.
How do you keep listings honest and parking safe?
Owners declare ownership of the space they list, every listing is moderated, and both drivers and owners can report a problem. Reports are reviewed by our team, and QR check-in keeps every session accountable.
