What do you mean by the "AirBnB of Parking".

When Airbnb launched, it changed how people thought about travel accommodations. Suddenly, unused guest rooms, basements, and vacation homes became income-generating assets. Now, the same shift is happening with parking — and Parker is leading the way.


The airBnB of Parking is Parker

How It Works

The idea is simple: connect unused spaces with drivers who need them.

  1. Listing a Space Homeowners and businesses list driveways, garages, or private lots through Parker. They set availability, upload photos, and choose when the space can be used.

  2. Finding a Spot Drivers open the app, search their destination, and instantly see available spaces nearby — often at a fraction of the cost of traditional parking.

  3. Transactions Made Easy Payments are handled seamlessly in-app, so space owners earn passive income while drivers get peace of mind knowing their spot is waiting.


Why Parker Stands Out

The previous iteration of this same idea, Rover Parking also explored the shared parking model. But Parker has gone a step further — focusing not just on transactions, but on building trust and community. With thousands of spaces about to be listed across North America in the near future, Parker is shaping the idea of how cities think about parking.


The Benefits Are Clear

  • For Spot Owners: Turn underutilized driveways or business lots into easy income.

  • For Drivers: Save time, money, and frustration by booking spots in advance.

  • For Cities: Reduce congestion and make better use of existing land, avoiding unnecessary construction.


Smarter Parking, Happier Cities

Just like Airbnb transformed where we stay, Parker is transforming where we park. By unlocking the potential of spaces that already exist, we’re reducing stress for drivers, generating income for owners, and helping cities move toward more sustainable, efficient transportation systems.


Because the best parking space isn’t the one we build next — it’s the one already waiting for you.
