What is Parking Cupid?
Parking Cupid is the ultimate solution when it comes to finding parking space. It connects drivers with home owners who have spare parking spaces for rent, such as garages, driveways and car parks. Joining the platform is easy - simply search for available spaces in your area and send messages to homeowners that you're interested in renting from.
How does it work?

Drivers can save both time and money by using Parking Cupid!

How do I contact Parking Cupid support?

What are the car insurance implications of sharing a parking space?
When it comes to parking your vehicle, you assume all risk. Whether you are using a public or private lot, the same holds true. If you have any questions concerning insurance coverage, please contact your insurer for more information.
How much does it cost to use a parking space?
The cost of using a parking space is entirely up to the parking space owner. Generally, the price of a parking space in the same area may differ due to different features such as proximity to popular place as well as security and lighting.
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!
I sent a message last week and did not get a response, what do I do?
If you're having trouble receiving system messages from Parking Cupid, it's possible the message has ended up in your spam/trash folder. If a phone number is available, we recommend giving them a call to resolve the issue. Alternatively, let us know and we can provide you with the direct email address of parking providers for further assistance. You can also post a wanted listing on our website by logging in and going to parkingcupid.com/rent-your-space-free and selecting 'wanted' as the offer type.
What quality control is conducted by your site?
Parking Cupid takes great care to ensure that only accurate and current listings are available on our site. We actively monitor feedback from members and act upon it immediately if any discrepancies or issues arise. We also randomly sample members in order to keep quality standards up-to-date, and remove any listings which have been inactive for an extended period of time. Finally, we ask for members' help in monitoring the quality of our parking spaces by providing us with their feedback. With these measures combined, Parking Cupid strives to provide its users with the best possible experience!
Will I get value for money?
You will be able to take advantage of the convenience and savings of the number one Parking Space Directory 24/7. With a single membership, you can explore the directory as frequently as needed while also listing available parking spaces online. Plus, you'll receive additional helpful resources throughout your subscription period. By using driveways instead of costly commercial parking stations, you can save money on each visit - and if it saves you from having to pay even one council parking fine, your membership will have more than paid for itself!
How do I go list my parking space?
If you own a driveway or garage, you can make some extra money by listing it on our website. It's fast and easy to get started: simply select 'List' from the menu bar and fill in a few basic details. We'll advertise your space right away, and you can come back later to complete the registration process. Alternatively, register for an account on our site and list your parking space in the 'My Account' area.
Who can share their parking space?
What are the home insurance implications of sharing a parking space?
If you have any questions regarding your insurance policy, the best thing to do is contact your insurance provider directly. Each policy may vary, so it’s best to speak to them for more information on what is and isn't covered.
How much can I earn from sharing my parking space?
Parking spaces can be found for anywhere from $20 per day for a sports game or festival to $100 per week, adding up to over $5000 annually. For events and gatherings, there is likely to be some shared parking available in the area at varying prices depending
on factors like duration and location.
How much should I advertise my parking space for?
When it comes to setting a price for your parking space, it's best to consider the cost of other similar spaces in your area. You can also use trial and error by estimating a rate and adjusting it depending on the feedback you receive. Ultimately, the amount you decide to charge will depend on various factors.
When should I increase/decrease the price of my parking space?
If you're seeing a lot of bookings come through, it may be a good idea to raise your rates. Conversely, if you're not getting much interest, it might be smart to lower the price.
Is it safe to share my parking space with someone I don't know?
Can I ask for a security deposit?
Drivers and Hosts can easily communicate with each other via the Parking Cupid mail system in order to arrange for the security deposit to be provided. If you would like to include this as part of your listing, simply specify it in the description along with any other relevant terms.
How do I give the driver the swipe card / remote / key to my parking space?
Parking Cupid allows Drivers and Hosts to connect through its mail system, facilitating the exchange of a swipe card/remote/key. Communication is made easy with this system.
Do I have to pay tax on the income from sharing my parking space?
Parking Cupid encourages parking hosts to consult with a professional tax advisor to understand their individual tax obligations.
