- There are two description boxes. The first is for describing what you are local to, for example 'three minutes walk from Wembley Stadium' or 'a six minute coastal walk from the beach', and the second box is to describe your parking space, for example 'gated, paved driveway' or 'enclosed garage'. We do not allow contact details to appear at this point as they may be used to by-pass the booking system, but they are revealed once a booking is accepted. Complete the boxes and "Save Your Space"

- Parker pays on Arrival For this system we charge you £20.00 per year. THESE ARE THE ONLY CHARGES WE MAKE FOR THIS SYSTEM. There is NO COMMISSION levied on you for what you charge to rent out your parking space. Whatever you charge is yours, and you will only be invoiced the first £20.00 charge until your first booking request has been received. This covers your advert, texts and Google Maps displaying your location. We do offer our parker pre-pays system explained below (no 9) and in more detail (No 11) in our T&C's.
- The Weekly Calendar and Pricing is via "Times and Prices" and is a standard 12-month view for parkers to select dates and you will quickly and easily be able to enter both times, days and prices for when your particular space is available, non availability dates can be blocked by entering the dates via the "Blocks" tab. The space also becomes non available for any dates you have accepted a booking for.
- When a motorist decides that your space is ideal for them, they will go through the booking process and you will be sent an email and text letting you know that someone wants your space on a particular day(s) for a specified amount of time. You then have the option to accept or reject the booking. Upon accepting contact details will be revealed to you both. You will also have the vehicle details and registration number so you will know the correct parker has arrived.
- If all is well, you will accept the booking, take payment (usually cash on arrival as described in the Example Booking page) and send your full address.
- Pre-Payment- Semi Managed System The steps are the same as before, however the costs are shown differently and include an added surcharge to the parker. You the space owner will need to create a PayPal account. When you accept a booking the parker is sent a text and email with a payment gateway. By paying the required amount the parker has secured the booking with you and you are then contractually obliged to be responsible for the parking arrangement upon their arrival. The money paid by the parker is split, you receive your fee and the remainder passes onto ParkOnMyDrive. This system stops "No show" and/or parkers non paying.
Hints & Tips
- In terms of charging for your space, it's dependent on a number of factors. How secure it is – gated, garaged etc. – the proximity to places of interest – an open driveway 15 minutes walk from Barnet Football Club will be charged less than an enclosed garage three minutes walk from Oxford Circus, for example. As you use the site more and more, you will get a general feel for market rates and price accordingly.
- It's worth checking the legalities of both renting out your space and with your insurance company regarding and what happens if a person or a falling tree or fence accidentally damages the car, or the car leaves an oil spill for example.
