Rent My Parking Space with WSTED SPACE

Why should I rent out my parking space with WSTED SPACE?

Renting out your parking space with WSTED SPACE is a simple way to earn passive income from an area you’re not using. The platform connects you with verified renters looking for short-term or long-term parking options in your area. You stay in full control of your listing, your pricing, and who uses your space.

Payments are processed securely via Stripe, ensuring you get paid on time without the hassle of cash or checks.

How much money can I make if I rent out my parking space?

Earnings depend on your location, space type, and demand. On average, residential parking spaces rent for $50–$300 per month, while high-demand urban or downtown areas can see rates upwards of $400–$600 per month. WSTED SPACE provides flexibility, allowing you to set your own rates and adjust them anytime.

What can’t be stored or parked in my parking space?

Prohibited items include unregistered or inoperable vehicles and any items that emit fumes or odors. Renters may not live, work, or conduct repairs in or around your space, nor use it as a mailing address.

Additional prohibited items include:

• Explosives, fuel, hazardous or flammable materials
• Pesticides or other toxic chemicals
• Waste of any kind
• Firearms or ammunition
• Drugs or any illegal substances or goods
• Stolen goods or other contraband
• Perishable food items, spoiled food, living or deceased animals, infested items, or moldy items
• Any item that emits fumes or a strong odor
• Boats and other watercraft that are not properly stored on a trailer
• Any other items, the possession, usage, transport or storage of which may violate in any way applicable laws, rules, or regulations

Additionally, smoking in or around the space is expressly prohibited.

As a host, it's your responsibility to clearly communicate any additional restrictions specific to your garage space. Ensure that your listing accurately reflects what is and isn't allowed to prevent misunderstandings and potential violations.

How much control do I have over my space?

As a host on WSTED SPACE, you maintain full control over your parking space and how it’s used. You decide what items renters are allowed to store (as long as you abide by the terms of service), set your own rental price, and determine when your space is available. Hosts are also able to include any specific restrictions in their listing to ensure renters understand exactly what is permitted.

Additionally, you control access to your property. You can choose whether to provide keys, lock combinations, or supervised access, giving you peace of mind while your space is rented. You can also decline any renter for any reason before accepting.

Can I decline a renter?

Yes. As a host on WSTED SPACE, you have full control over who rents your parking space. You can review renter profiles, verify their identity, and choose whether to accept or decline a booking request.

Declining a renter may be appropriate if they plan to store prohibited items, if their requested dates don’t match your availability, or if you simply feel uncomfortable with the arrangement. WSTED SPACE empowers hosts to make these decisions while maintaining fairness and safety.

How should I prepare my parking space for listing?

Start by clearing the space of any personal items, debris, or obstacles that might limit parking access. Make sure the area is clean, clearly marked, and easy to enter and exit. If your parking space has specific dimensions or height limits (for example, in a shared lot or carport), include that information in your listing.

Take clear, well-lit photos showing the full space, nearby landmarks, and any signage that will help renters find it easily. Photos are one of the most important factors renters consider before booking.

If your space is covered, gated, or includes security features like lighting or cameras, highlight those details — they can help justify a higher rental price.

Finally, review any local restrictions, HOA rules, or property agreements that might limit parking or short-term rentals. You’re responsible for ensuring your listing complies with local laws and property use terms.

Will WSTED SPACE market my listing for me?

Yes. When you list your parking space on WSTED SPACE, the platform helps promote it to potential renters. WSTED SPACE provides exposure through its website, connecting hosts with users actively searching for storage or parking solutions in their area.

While WSTED SPACE handles the majority of marketing and ensures your listing is visible to interested renters, you can also enhance your listing’s appeal by adding clear photos, detailed descriptions, and specifying unique features or amenities. A well-presented listing increases visibility and the likelihood of securing renters quickly.

What should I do if I need to cancel a booking?

If you need to cancel a booking, it's recommended to notify the renter as soon as possible. WSTED SPACE may offer a refund if the cancellation is made at least 7 days prior to the check-in day, subject to terms and conditions.

Can I list a full parking lot I own?

Yes — if you own or control a full parking lot, you can list it on WSTED SPACE just like any other space. Many property owners use the platform to monetize unused or partially filled lots by renting out individual spots or the entire area.

For best results, clearly describe the number of available spaces, vehicle size limits, and any access instructions (e.g., gates, hours, or security features). You can list the lot as one large space or create multiple listings for individual stalls to attract more renters.

If you have a commercial or high-capacity lot, WSTED SPACE’s support team can help you structure and optimize your listings for maximum visibility and earnings.

How can I improve the visibility of my listing?

To enhance the visibility of your listing, ensure that it includes clear and high-quality photos, a detailed description, and accurate information about the space and its amenities. Engaging with potential renters promptly and maintaining positive reviews can also boost your listing's prominence.
