For parkers
How do I know exactly which spot is mine?
Look at the photo — the arrow marks your spot. We text it to you again with the address after you pay. Still not sure? Text us. Don't guess.
When do I get the address?
The second you pay, by text — address, photo, and a live timer link. We don't show addresses on the map. That protects owners.
What if someone is already parked in my spot?
Text us right away. Don't park somewhere else and don't argue with anyone. If your spot isn't free, you get all your money back automatically. Then grab another green pin.
What happens when my time runs out?
We text you 15 minutes before your time ends. Leave on time — this is someone's home. Cars that stay late can be towed at the driver's cost.
Can I cancel?
Free for 30 minutes after booking — one tap from your text, full refund. After that it's final. If the owner cancels, you always get all your money back.
Is there a weather refund if it rains?
No rain refunds. Booked is booked — same as the town meters.
Why is there a card processing fee?
That's the card company's charge (2.9% + 30¢). We pass it through at cost. No markup.
Is my car insured while it's parked?
Your own car insurance covers your car, like in any lot. We don't provide insurance. You park at your own risk. Lock up.
For owners
How much do I actually make?
You set the price. We take 20% — but the first 100 hosts pay $0 through 2026 and keep it all. Parkers pay the card fee, never you. Money goes straight to your bank.
Do I have to offer my spot every day?
No. Most owners pick weekends & holidays — the days parking is worst and prices are best. You can also open or close any single day with one tap, or choose "only when I turn it on."
What if I need my driveway back after someone booked it?
One button. It refunds the parker in full and texts them — no conversation needed. You can also pause your spot any time.
What if a car overstays?
Rare — parkers get a warning text, and we have their plate and phone. Still there? Text us first. Towing is your right, but the last resort.
What if a parker damages my property, or claims we damaged their car?
Take photos right away — car and plate in the shot — and text us within 24 hours. We have the driver's plate, phone, and payment on file. Claims are between you and the parker, but we hand over the records.
Am I insured? Does my homeowner's policy cover this?
No — we don't provide insurance. Everyone lists and parks at their own risk. Ask your insurance agent one question: "If someone pays to park in my driveway, am I covered?" A parked car is very low risk — but ask, don't assume.
Do I owe taxes on this money?
Yes — it's income. Stripe sends tax forms if required, and your dashboard shows your earnings. Tell your tax person.
I rent my home / I'm in an HOA — can I still list?
Only if you have the right to. Renters: ask your landlord first. HOA rules are on you to check.
Who are these parkers? Can I say no to someone?
Every booking has a plate, a phone, and a real card — no strangers with cash. You can cancel any booking or pause your spot, no penalty.
Will this annoy my neighbors?
It's one car in a driveway — that's what driveways are for. Be a good neighbor: don't list spots that block anyone, and if a neighbor has a concern, text us early.
What do I actually have to do on a booking day?
Nothing. A car comes, a car goes, money hits your bank. Glancing out the window is the whole job.
Do you give anything back to the beach?
Yes. We give 10% of our fee from every booking to the North Carolina Coastal Federation — the folks who rebuild oyster reefs and living shorelines here. This coast is the whole reason any of this works.
