Park Let is a website which allows its users to rent, buy, sell or lease a parking space. Park Let explains it was set up due to the founders’ experience regarding parking in public car parks in the City of London, which they found were often unsafe, unclean, expensive and full, and that they set up the service as they realised a large number of residences and companies did not use their car parking.

Park Let allows people or companies with spare car parking spaces to let or sell them, and allows those you need them to rent or buy them. Park Let takes a 15% commision from the landlord on rentals (in addition to a £20 admin fee for the first month) and 2.5% for sales, which is quite reasonable.

Available car parking spaces range from ones in secure, underground carparks in central London to driveways. Prices differ too: a secure, underground carpark in EC1 could set you back £300/month whilst a driveway in Ripon will, contastingly, only cost £55/month.

Park Let attempts to be safe and fair, too. It allows people with the spaces to specify whether their spaces are available between Monday and Friday or all week. It also says that, like a normal carpark, that the tenant leaves their vehicle at their own risk and that they are responsible for any damage. Park Let takes responsibility for collection of payment off the tenant via Direct Debit and will assist the landlord in the event of non-payment.

Park Let has a nice interface, you search for a parking space using a Google Map which is a useful visual representation of the area and allows you to visualise the space’s location.

Park Let is an easy-to-use, good value and innovative site. If you’re in need of a parking space (or you have one spare!), you might as well check it out!
