Have you got a drive you don’t use? Need some extra income?
In case you haven’t come across them at all, in short they match make home owners and businesses with idle driveways or garages, with car owners looking for parking spaces. Park Let markets the car parking spaces on its website, organises the contract (regular monthly contracts only) and collects the rental income for which they take a 15% commission.
It’s a great for homeowners and businesses to make an additional income and motorists can save money as Park Let offers an alternative to larger car park operators. Obviously, parking on someone’s drive is a lot safer than walking through a dark car park, the car is less likely to get damaged, vandalised or broken in to and the motorist is guaranteed a parking space. The car parking side of things also applies to businesses too: some of Park Let’s client rent several spaces for their employees as it’s cheaper than a season ticket at the local multi-storey.
Parking spaces in London rent for up to £400 a month.
You can see how much you’d be able to rent out your driveway for by checking out Park Let’s new parking space pricing tool at http://www.parklet.co.uk/parking-rental-price-guide.aspx. Areas near town and city centres do best on rental income for obvious reasons but areas near busy hospitals, leisure attractions, near schools or just areas with lots of congested on road parking all drive higher rents.

Thanks for the heads up about this service. I am surprised how much my garage is worth. It’s a great way to boost income during these tough times.
