How much can I earn renting out my parking space?

The honest answer: it depends, and we won’t quote a made-up average. What you earn comes down to location, how many hours a week your space is available, and local demand. Here’s how to think about it, and exactly what LookingForCarPark takes.

What drives your earnings

The four signals we use to suggest a competitive starting price for your area on the setup call.

Local demand

Time-of-day and day-of-week occupancy patterns at nearby parks already on the platform.

Comparable spaces

What similar driveways, garages, or off-street spaces in your area are charging.

Event traffic

Stadiums, stations, attractions or hospitals nearby that drive demand spikes.

Your availability

Spaces available 24/7 earn more than weekday-only spaces; you stay in control of both.

What you keep

Our commission is a flat 4% LookingForCarPark fee per booking, plus card processing passed through at actual cost (the payment provider’s real charge, typically around 1.5% + 20p on a UK card). We show the two as separate lines, so nothing is hidden inside the commission number.

What you keep from a £100 booking
Booking value£100.00
LookingForCarPark fee (4%)−£4.00
Card processing (at actual cost)≈ −£1.70
You keep≈ £94.30

One rate, every booking. No tiers, no rate changes by stay length or booking size, and no markup added to the driver’s price. Listing is free: no monthly, setup or listing fees.

Tax on parking-space income

HMRC’s Property Allowance lets you earn up to £1,000 per tax year from property-related income without paying tax or declaring it. Above £1,000 you must declare the income on a self-assessment return. The Rent a Room Scheme does not apply to driveway or parking-space income (it is for lodgers only). This is general guidance, not tax advice, so consult an accountant for income above the allowance.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on your location, how many hours per week your space is available, and local demand, and we will not quote a made-up average. Spaces in central London or near busy stations, stadiums and event venues tend to earn the most, and spaces with longer daily availability earn more than weekday-only ones. We'll suggest a starting price for your area on the setup call once we've reviewed your listing, and you can change it from your settings any time.
