Make Money Renting Space with YourParkingSpace
Reading Time: 3 minutesThis post is sponsored by YourParkingSpace
Having an off-street parking space is something that you might take for granted: being able to park your car off the road for no extra charge, safe and sound by your house. Yet it’s a highly-prized luxury that thousands upon thousands of people in the UK don’t have, being forced to pay daily or monthly charges for parking permits from their local council, or struggling to find somewhere to park their car when they’re out and about.
Plus, if you have an off-street parking space, whether it’s a driveway, an underground parking space under a block of flats, or an off-street space in a residential car park, you could be sitting on money you didn’t know was there: have you thought about renting out your parking space?
Last year in the UK, the Total Gross Revenue from driveway rentals came to £27,279,631, with London-based renters making an average of £1,691 a year and those outside London making £874 a year.
And the stats for selected cities are equally profitable:
Car park operators in the UK have long been a formidable force, with a small handful of companies controlling the majority of the sector. As customer needs and expectations evolve, the market has moved towards a necessary digital experience that has paved the way for emerging technology companies like YourParkingSpace to bring innovation to the sector.
Whether you’re heading to an event, off on holiday, or simply need a space for work, finding parking should be simple, convenient and affordable, and YourParkingSpace allows you to list your space and earn anything from £40 to £400 per month. Motorists can then find and book your parking space.

You can rent out any type of parking space you own or are authorised to lease, including
- Driveways
- Garages
- Off-street parking spaces
