Why Rent a Driveway or Yard?

Sometimes all you need is a simple, affordable parking spot close to home or work. We connect drivers with local homeowners who have a spare driveway, front yard or covered carport they’re not using.

It’s cheaper than a commercial car park, safer than the street, and you’re helping a neighbour earn a few bucks from space that’d otherwise sit empty.

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

1

Check the surface

Concrete and paved driveways are best for daily use. Grassed yards work for lighter vehicles but can get muddy after rain.

2

Respect the property

You’re parking at someone’s home. Keep it tidy, don’t block other vehicles, and follow any house rules the host sets.

3

Confirm access times

Some homeowners are flexible, others have preferences. Make sure you agree on access hours before booking.

4

Compare with street parking

Factor in the cost of parking fines, dings from other cars and the walk to your front door. A dedicated spot often pays for itself in peace of mind.

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?

That’s up to the host. Some offer daily parking, while others prefer weekly or monthly. The listing will show what’s available.
