Questions, answered.
The short version of everything we get asked. Still curious? Talk to us.

General
ParkQ is a peer-to-peer parking app. People list their empty spots — driveways, empty plots, basement bays — and parkers discover and book them in seconds from a live map. Real spots, listed by real people nearby.
Launch timing is still to be announced. Join the waitlist from the homepage and you'll be the first to know when we open the gates.
Launch cities will be announced before launch. We'd rather do a few cities well than many cities badly — so we're starting small and getting it right.
Yes. The app is free to download and free to join. Parking prices are set by hosts, and you'll always see the full price before you book.
Directories show you maybe-lots. ParkQ shows bookable spots in real time — pick a slot, confirm, and your spot is held. No phone calls, no haggling.
Booking
Open the app, find a spot on the live map, pick your time slot, and confirm. That's it. The spot is held for you and the host is notified automatically.
Yes. Cancellation and refunds are supported from day one. The exact cancellation policy will be published before launch and takes effect at launch.
Every listing is reviewed before it goes live — that's non-negotiable for us. If something still isn't right, in-app support will be available from launch to sort it out.
Yes. In-app messaging lets you coordinate entry, timing, or that tricky gate directly with the person listing the spot.
Not to browse, but it makes booking faster. Add your cars and bikes once, and booking your next spot takes seconds.
Hosting
Any private spot you control and can offer legally — your driveway, an empty plot, an extra basement bay. If you can park a vehicle there safely, you can probably list it.
You do. Hosts set their own prices. You'll always see the full breakdown before anything goes live.
Yes. Every listing passes a review before parkers can see it. No mystery locations, no surprises.
At launch. The payout schedule is still to be announced — we'll publish the details before the first booking is ever made.
Payments
In the app. No cash at the gate, no meters, no awkward negotiations. You pay when you book, and the host gets paid through ParkQ.
The full fee structure will be published before launch — plain and upfront, with no fine print. If it can't fit on one screen, it's too complicated.
Cancellation and refunds are supported from day one. The exact policy will be published before launch and takes effect at launch.
QR Smart Stickers
QR Smart Stickers are coming soon. They'll let parkers scan a code at a spot to start a booking or contact the host — no app juggling at the gate.
No — never. Your personal details stay private. Scanners reach you through ParkQ's messaging, not your number.
They're on the roadmap for after launch. Join the waitlist and we'll announce them when they're ready.
