Best Apps to Rent Out Your Driveway for Parking (2026)

The four things that actually matter when picking a platform: (1) the percentage of each booking the host keeps, (2) how frequently you get paid out, (3) whether the platform has active drivers in your specific neighborhood, and (4) whether host protection insurance is included. Everything else is marketing.

A common mistake new hosts make is signing up for every app at once. Sounds like more exposure, but in practice it creates overlap conflicts (a driver books on App A while your spot is already booked on App B) and fragments your reviews across platforms. Most successful hosts pick one primary platform and run it seriously.

Parkzy is a Los Angeles-focused peer-to-peer parking marketplace. Hosts keep 90% of each booking, payouts are direct-deposit via Stripe on a host-chosen schedule (daily, weekly, or monthly), and the app's driver base is concentrated around LA's highest-demand parking zones: SoFi Stadium, Kia Forum, Dodger Stadium, LAX, USC, UCLA, the Coliseum, and the Coachella Valley during festival weekends.

Because Parkzy is LA-native, listings near major venues see bookings within days of going live. Hosts near SoFi Stadium or the Coliseum routinely book out for every home game. The host app also includes event-pricing automation, EV charging support, and built-in host protection.

Best for: Los Angeles homeowners, especially those within 3 miles of a major venue or university.

Neighbor is a well-known storage and parking marketplace. It leans heavily toward long-term RV, boat, and vehicle storage rather than event-based parking, which makes it a different product than a driveway rental app in practice. Neighbor takes 4.9% + $0.30 per transaction plus a monthly service fee, which is competitive.

If your driveway is oversized and you want to rent it for long-term RV, trailer, or vehicle storage at a flat monthly rate, Neighbor is well-positioned. If you want to rent it for hourly or per-event parking, it's a poor fit.

Best for: homeowners with extra land or oversized driveways renting to long-term vehicle storage.

SpotHero and ParkWhiz are worth addressing because people often conflate them with driveway-rental apps. They are not. Both are commercial parking aggregators — they connect drivers with paid garages, surface lots, and commercial operators. You cannot list your private driveway on SpotHero or ParkWhiz as an individual homeowner.

If you operate a commercial parking lot or have a lot of inventory, these platforms are excellent. For a homeowner with one driveway, skip them.

For an LA homeowner with a residential driveway — especially one within reach of a stadium, airport, university, or festival venue — Parkzy is the clear fit. The concentration of drivers in LA means more bookings per listing, and the 90% host payout is at the top of the industry.

If you own an oversized lot or rural property and want long-term storage, Neighbor makes more sense. But for traditional driveway rentals in LA's high-demand zones, list on Parkzy and focus your effort there.
