About Us
What is ParkatmyHouse.com?
ParkatmyHouse is the world's largest online parking marketplace created to connect home and business owners who would like to earn money from renting their space with drivers in need of a convenient, safe and cost-effective place to park. The idea is simple just like this website. We manage the entire booking process and all the payments so you can be confident that you are always in safe hands.
Who we are and how we started?
Back in May 2006, towards the end his post university 'Round-the-World' trip, ParkatmyHouse.com founder, Anthony Eskinazi, was on his way to the AT&T stadium in San Francisco to watch a Giants baseball game. As any sports fan knows, trying to find a parking space near a stadium on a match day is usually a futile exercise!
So, when he saw an empty driveway a stone's throw away from the stadium he realised that there was a great opportunity for both homeowners and drivers if only they could find a way of making the initial contact. ParkatmyHouse.com finally opened to the public on 22nd September 2006.
Why we're here
As drivers or passengers, we have all experienced the growing problem of parking. With resident permit holder bays springing up all over the country, car park prices making us wince and fines landing on windscreens at a record rate and with no sign of a slowdown, parking is becoming ever more restricted, costly and stressful.
At the same time, millions of driveways and car parks - next to major public transport hubs, town centres and theatres for example - stand empty when they could be providing parking for motorists and extra income to homeowners and businesses.
What's missing and greatly needed is something that brings drivers and their vehicles together with property-owners and their empty garages.
San Francisco Giants
This is where ParkatmyHouse.com comes in! We've taken the bull by the horns and developed a friendly and easy-to-use site which enables motorists ('drivers' as we like to call them) and property-owners (also known as 'space owners') to interact.
We take a hands-off approach, leaving the two parties to make arrangements between themselves with the help of our technology. (A matchmaking service for parking if you like).
But we&'re here if you need us. If you have any queries or concerns, we're only an e-mail away and if we can improve the ParkatmyHouse service in any way at all - make it easier to use or somehow offer you a better experience - please let us know and we’ll react.
In the meantime, next time you’re planning to take the car out, have a look on ParkatmyHouse.com to see if there’s an available parking space close to your destination. It might just save you a whole lot of trouble if you’re running late!
