ParkMatch.com - They´ve Got a Spot for You!

Is it impossible for you to find a parking spot close to work, but there are plenty of available spots in driveways or private spaces? Do you own a parking space, but only use it at certain times? With ParkMatch.com, people with parking spots can post their available spaces, listing what dates and at what times they are available. The owner of the spaces gets to decide how much they would like to charge for the spot as well. Then, people looking for spots can search and find spots much closer to the location they are driving to and pay the person hosting the spot to use it during the hours the owner will not be taking advantage of it. If you´ve got a big event coming up that you want to make sure you get a good spot for, you can search the site by that event. You can also search for spots at the airport. Currently, this service is only available in San Francisco, but it would be a great idea to spread to other cities, because finding a good parking spot is always a hassle.

“ParkMatch.com is San Francisco´s ultimate solution for both your short-term and long-term parking needs.

Finding a decent parking spot can be near to impossible sometimes, and it´s really frustrating when you see empty parking spots available that you can´t use because they are marked “private”. This way, the owners of the spaces can make money, while making parking a lot easier and less of a headache for those without a free space. People pay lots of money all the time for a decent parking space, so a cheaper resource would be a hot commodity.

Will enough people post their available spots to make this site work? It seems pretty empty right now in terms of traffic and postings. How will parking passes and all of the paper required to designate that you are allowed to park in the private spot work?
