Local & Affordable
Why Rent a Driveway or Yard?
Commercial parking in Australian cities is expensive and often inconvenient. A dedicated spot near your home, office or train station removes the daily stress of finding somewhere to leave the car. We connect drivers with local homeowners who have a spare driveway, front yard or covered carport sitting idle.
Residential parking through this platform typically runs 30 to 50 per cent cheaper than a commercial car park for the same location. You get a consistent spot that is yours every day, rather than competing for space in a council lot or multi-storey. And the homeowner earns from a piece of land that would otherwise earn them nothing.
Every host is identity-verified through the platform before listing. You can see who your host is, message them before booking, and pay through a secure transaction that gives both parties a clear record. No cash arrangements, no verbal-only agreements and no surprises about access when you turn up on day one.

What Type of Spot Do You Need?
Homeowners across Australia are renting out all kinds of residential parking spaces.
Driveway
A concrete or paved driveway spot. Typically off-street and more secure than parking on the road.
Front / Back Yard
Grassed or paved yard space for one or more vehicles. Often spacious enough for larger vehicles like utes and vans.
Covered Carport
An undercover parking spot attached to a house. Protects from weather and usually includes lighting.

Tips for Renting a Driveway or Yard
Check the surface for your vehicle
Concrete and asphalt driveways handle daily use well for most cars. Grassed or dirt yards can work for lighter vehicles but will churn in wet weather. In Australian east-coast summers, grass dries hard and develops ruts. Check the listing photos and ask the host about conditions during wet periods if you plan year-round parking.
Respect the property
You are parking at someone's home, not a commercial facility. Keep your spot tidy, avoid dripping oil on their driveway, and do not block the host's vehicle or overflow into their garden. If you share the driveway, be mindful of noise early in the morning or late at night. Small courtesies go a long way toward a long-term arrangement that works for both parties.
Confirm access hours before booking
Some homeowners are flexible about when you come and go. Others prefer you keep to reasonable hours and give notice when your schedule changes. If you have early morning or late-night access requirements, say so upfront. Get it agreed through the platform before you move in.
Factor in the full cost of not having a dedicated spot
Street parking in Australian cities comes with permit zones, two-hour limits, parking inspectors and the constant risk of a door ding or sideswipe. Factor in what you would spend on fines and time spent looking for a spot each day. A dedicated driveway spot removes all of that and usually costs less per day than a single infringement notice.
Driveway & Yard Parking FAQs
How much does driveway parking cost?
Rates vary by location but residential parking is typically 30–50% cheaper than commercial options. Inner-city driveways might be $50–$150 per month. Suburban spots can be even less. Prices vary.
Is it safe to park in someone’s driveway?
Every host is ID verified through Stripe. You’ll know who your host is and can message them directly. Most driveway hosts are neighbours who want to help and earn a bit of extra income.
Can I park a larger vehicle like a van?
That depends on the spot. Check the listing dimensions and photos. Many yards and wider driveways can accommodate vans and utes.
What if the host sells or moves?
If a host needs to end the arrangement, they’ll give you notice through the platform. You can search for a new spot anytime. No penalty for switching.
Is there a minimum booking period?
It varies by host. Some offer daily bookings, which suits commuters who only need parking on working days. Most residential hosts prefer a weekly or monthly arrangement for the predictability. Monthly is the most common minimum and gives both parties the flexibility to end the arrangement with reasonable notice. The listing will show available booking periods.
Can I park overnight?
Most driveway hosts allow overnight parking as part of a monthly arrangement. If you need to leave your car from late evening through to early morning, confirm this with the host upfront. Some residential areas have local council rules about parking on private property overnight, so the host will know whether this applies at their address.
What if my vehicle does not fit in the listed space?
Check the listing dimensions before enquiring. If dimensions are not listed, message the host with your vehicle's length, width and height. Driveways vary considerably in Australia, from tight single-car concrete strips to wide double driveways with extra yard space. Confirming fit before booking prevents a difficult situation on day one.
