Rent out your parking space or garage

Have a garage or parking space that sits empty while you’re at work or away? Earn from it on CarBNP. Drivers book it by the hour, the day or the month, only when you’ve marked it free, so it’s still yours when you need it. They get in without you, and payouts go to your bank automatically.

How hosting works

From an empty bay to money in your bank

  1. List your space

    Add a few photos, the address and how drivers get in. Say if it’s covered or has an EV charger. It takes about five minutes.

  2. Choose when it’s free

    Weekdays while you’re at work, weekends while you’re away, or every evening. Set a price by the hour, the day or the month, and block any date you need the space back.

  3. Drivers book and pay ahead

    They book on the website or in the app and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay before they arrive.

  4. Get paid to your bank

    Payouts go to your bank account automatically through Stripe. You’ll find every booking and payout in your host dashboard.

Access

Drivers get in without you

You don’t have to be home or hand over keys. Your listing tells each driver how to reach the bay and get in, so pick what fits your space.

  • Gate from the app

    If your gate has automated access, the driver opens it from their phone during the booking.

  • Access code

    Add a code for the gate or the door. The driver sees it on their booking.

  • Open access

    No gate at all. The driver follows your directions to the bay, for example “Level −1, bay 12, next to the lift”.

  • Automated garage door

    An ordinary garage door? We can automate it, so it opens for booked drivers.

Car parks with a security guard can list that too. The guard checks the driver’s booking.

If something goes wrong

When a driver can’t park

Now and then the bay is taken, the gate won’t open or something is blocking it. The driver reports it from their booking, and you get 10 minutes to answer.

  1. The driver chooses what helpsMove to another bay, wait while you clear it (the lost time is added back to the booking), or get a refund.
  2. You answer within 10 minutesIf you confirm the problem, the driver gets a full refund, to their wallet or card.
  3. No answer in timeSmall bookings are refunded automatically and support checks the rest. Monthly bookings are always settled by support.
Earnings estimate

How much could your space earn?

Put in your price and when your space is usually free. The estimate counts every free hour as booked, so it’s the most your space could earn at that price. How often drivers book decides the real number.

Two ways to rent it out

Renting by the hour vs a monthly tenant

The usual way to rent out a garage is an ad and one tenant who has it for months. On CarBNP you rent it out for the hours it’s empty and keep it for the hours you need it. Here’s how the two compare.

QuestionCarBNPA monthly tenant from a classifieds ad
Using the space yourselfAny time you haven’t marked it free. Block a date and it’s yours.Not while the tenant is renting it. The space is theirs.
CommitmentEach booking is for an hour, a day or a month. Change your hours whenever you like.Usually months at a time, often a year.
Finding someoneDrivers find your space on the CarBNP map and book it themselves.You post the ad, take the calls and show people the space.
Getting paidDrivers pay online when they book. Payouts go to your bank automatically.You agree how the rent is paid and follow up if it’s late.
Keys and accessThe gate opens from the driver’s phone, or they use an access code. CarBNP can automate an ordinary garage door.You hand over a key or a remote, and get it back at the end.
When something goes wrongThe driver reports it from the booking. You have 10 minutes to answer, and CarBNP support steps in when needed.You sort it out with the tenant yourself.
How steady the income isIt depends on how often drivers book. CarBNP keeps 10% of each booking.The same rent every month while the tenant stays.

Would you rather have one driver for the month? Set a monthly price on CarBNP as well, and a driver can book the whole month.

Questions about renting out your space

What hosts ask before they list a space.

All questions in the Help centre

How do I rent out my parking space?

List it on CarBNP: add a few photos, the address and how drivers get in, then choose when it’s free and set a price by the hour, the day or the month. Drivers book and pay online, and payouts go to your bank automatically. Listing takes about five minutes and costs nothing.

How much does CarBNP take?

CarBNP keeps 10% of each booking; the rest is paid to your bank. Drivers pay a small service fee for card processing on top of your price, so it doesn’t come out of your share. Listing is free, and there’s no membership fee.

Is it worth renting out a parking space?

It depends on your price, where the space is and how often drivers book it, so we can’t promise a figure. Listing is free and there’s no membership fee, so trying costs you nothing. CarBNP keeps 10% of each booking, and the earnings calculator above gives you a rough idea for your own hours.

How do I get paid?

Automatically, to your bank account through Stripe. Drivers pay online when they book, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, so there’s nobody to chase.

Who sets the price and the hours?

You do. Set a price by the hour, the day or the month, choose the hours when drivers can book, and block any date you need the space yourself.

Can I rent out my garage only on weekdays?

Yes. You choose the days and hours drivers can book, for example Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 18:00, and the rest of the time the garage is yours. Change the hours or block a date whenever you need to.

Do I need to be there when the driver arrives?

No. Drivers get in the way your listing describes: a gate that opens from the app, an access code, a security guard, or open access with your directions to the bay.

Can CarBNP automate my garage door?

Yes. CarBNP can automate an ordinary garage door so it opens for drivers during their booking, and you don’t hand anyone a key. Tell us about your door and we’ll say what it needs.

What if a driver can’t park in my space?

They report it from the booking, and you have 10 minutes to answer. If you confirm the problem, the driver gets a full refund. If you don’t answer in time, small bookings are refunded automatically and support checks the rest. Monthly bookings are settled by support.

What happens when a driver cancels?

Hourly and daily bookings aren’t refunded when a driver cancels. A monthly booking can be cancelled at any time and runs to the end of the month already paid.
