Does Parking Cupid screen the listings?

We at Parking Cupid are here to help you find the perfect parking spot for your needs! We do not provide screening services, so we urge our members to be sure and conduct thorough phone interviews, reference checks, and other background checks before scheduling a booking. To assist in this process, we offer resources such as price guides for various parking spaces and sample contracts. Take advantage of these tools today to make the most informed decisions possible!

How many messages should I send and how long will it take?

If you're looking for the perfect parking space, it pays to do your research. Sending out 8-10 messages and allowing a 7 day turnaround is a good way to ensure success. Many of the listings provide mobile phone numbers so that you can make contact right away. If your initial emails don't get any response, send out another round the following week - chances are there will be more people to choose from and you'll find exactly what you're looking for. Be open to variations in rental amounts or length of rental if the parking space is highly sought after. With the right approach, you'll be sure to find your ideal spot quickly and easily!

Alternatively, let us know and we can provide you with the direct email address of parking providers for further assistance.
