How does monthly parking work for hosts?

Building managers or residents can share their parking spots with others via Parkade.

Once you've started to use Parkade at your building, you can offer any long-term parking spot you have to other tenants to rent. You should consider changing the monthly price to make it attractive to renters in your building. The lower the price you set, the more likely your spot will get booked!

If you're using simple pricing, just lower your hourly price and we'll calculate the weekly and monthly prices. If you're manually setting prices, you can just adjust your monthly price, as shown here:

Once someone has reserved your spot, changing the price will only affect future reservations. Existing reservations will not be affected, including long-term reservations that renew monthly.

For your spot to get booked monthly, it needs to be available "long-term." In Parkade's system, that means when someone searches for a long-term spot, your spot must be available for at least 60 consecutive days beyond the start date/time they searched for. If your spot is available every upcoming day, with no reservations in the future, that will work!

You can make your spot available long-term by adding one day of availability (for example, midnight to midnight the next day) and setting it to repeat every day. You can set that by tapping Host → Calendar, select the "Detailed" view, and then add repeating daily availability, as shown here:

However, you can also make your spot available for just a specific date range. For example, if you made your spot available September 1 to December 31, and someone searched for long-term parking starting September 5, we would show your spot as an option, since it's available at least 60 days past September 5.

To add a specific block of dates, go to the Host tab, tap Calendar, and then open the "Detailed" calendar. Hit "Edit availability" and add a date range (at minimum 60 days) to make the spot available during. You can see the steps for doing this below:

After you make your spot available, double-check the availability details you chose to make sure it’s exactly what you wanted. You can always add more or cancel availability later.
