It Started With a Parking Fine
One Facebook post. One truck driver. One fine that didn't sit right. That's how StorageFinder got its start.
How It All Began
Hi, I'm Cam
You might remember a post about the truck driver who got a ticket for parking his rig on the street — the one that did the rounds on a local community Facebook group?
I saw it too and couldn't stop thinking that there must be a better way.
It gave me the idea to build something: a site where people with a spare yard, shed or driveway can list it for truck operators, caravan and boat owners, or anyone who just needs somewhere safe to store something. Clear pricing, no hidden fees.
Cheers, Cam
Founder, StorageFinder
That one post stuck with me. Truck drivers, caravan owners, boat owners — they all need somewhere to park their gear. And at the same time, there are thousands of people with a spare driveway, an empty shed, or a paddock that's not doing anything.
The problem was obvious. The solution wasn't complicated either. It just hadn't been built yet.
So I started building. Nights and weekends, one feature at a time. No investors, no board meetings — just someone who believed they could make something useful.
StorageFinder is the result. A marketplace that connects people who have space with people who need it.
From Post to Platform
How we got here
The Facebook Post
A truck driver cops a fine for parking his rig on the street. The local community Facebook group lights up about it.
The Idea
Cam can't stop thinking about it. There has to be a better way. What if locals could rent out their spare yards, sheds, and paddocks?
The Build
Nights and weekends go into building a platform that's simple, fair, and genuinely useful. No corporate backing — just a solo founder solving a real problem.
The Network
One site becomes six. FindTruckStorage, FindBoatStorage, FindCaravanStorage, FindCarStorage, FindCarParking — all under the StorageFinder umbrella.
What We Stand For
What we stand for
Every decision we make comes back to one question: is this fair for both sides? If it's not, we don't do it.
Built to be Fair
No hidden fees, no fine print surprises. The price you see is the price you pay. Hosts set their own rates, storers pay those rates, and we take a small commission when a booking happens.
Trust You Can See
Every user verifies their email and phone. Earn a Verified Member badge with photo ID. Reviews come from real bookings only. You always know who you're dealing with.
Neighbours Helping Neighbours
We connect people who have space with people who need it. Driveways, sheds, paddocks, yards — turning unused space into income and solving a real problem at the same time.
Safety Matters
Anyone who breaks the rules is removed. Full stop. We built this for people doing the right thing, and we intend to keep it that way.
