How can we help?

Drivers

How do payments work?

Most of our spaces require a deposit equal to one months' rent in order to secure your chosen parking space. This is taken at the time you place your booking. The deposit is fully refundable at the end of your booking as long as all access equipment is returned to the Space Provider on booking completion. Your first month's rent will then be taken on the first day of your rental, and will continue to be taken on the same day each month until you hand in 30 days cancellation notice.


What if I no longer require the parking space

30 day's cancellation notice is required to terminate a booking. To hand in your notice, please email bookings@place2park.co.uk detailing your booking


How do I access the parking space and collect access equipment?

Upon booking completion you'll be provided with the contact details of the Space Provider to contact and arrange access of the parking space with.


How do I renew my booking?

You don't need to renew your booking at all! All our bookings are set up on on a rolling monthly basis, and automatically renew each month until we receive notice.


Are there any additional fees for my booking?

The advertised price shown on the parking space is what you will pay, there are no additional fees or charges.


How do I get my deposit back?

After your booking has ended and all access equipment has been returned (if applicable), please email bookings@place2park.co.uk and we'll just confirm that the Space Provider has received all access equipment in full working order then refund the deposit to you.


Do I still pay for the space if I'm on holiday?

Yes like any other type rental you still have to pay for the space even if you're not using it.

I've seen a parking space I am interested in, can I just turn up and start using it?

No, that is not how the booking of a parking space works. You must first book the space by following our online booking process for your space to be registered or the relevant people informed of your start date.


Electric Vehicle Charging

Can I set my own price on an electric vehicle charger listing?

Yes! We appreciate that our electrified space owners have different energy costs and are based in different areas with high or lower demand. When listing your space and charger, you can choose to use the automated pricing or click to set your own.


Will I have to ask drivers for payments?

No. We take care of all of that. The driver that books pays for both parking and charging through Place2Park, and we then simply pass on your earnings.


What sort of electric vehicle charger do I need?

You can list a Type 1, Type 2, or even a standard outdoor mains plug-in charger. Just be sure to include this information in your space description so we can be sure to only send you bookings from people with the right type of vehicle.


How much will I earn?

We have some space providers that earn as much as £4000 per year. What you’ll earn will depend on where your space is located and how much demand there is. But as we move to a more electrified world, we can only see that demand is increasing, so it's an exciting time to list your space & charger with Place2Park.


How does it work once someone books my charger and space?

You don’t need to be at home or stay in waiting for drivers unless you need to provide them with a key fob or permit to access your space for the first time. Just be sure to give clear instructions on how to find your space when listing.
