Do you offer a parking spot to your guests?

[Alex]

Hello everyone, Alex here.👋

We all know that guests can arrive at your accommodation in many different ways. For those arriving by taxi, it’s easy for them because they don’t need to worry about where to park. But for those arriving at your listing by car, do you offer parking?

We have hosts from all kinds of areas, from bustling city centers to remote and quiet places, each with different advantages and characteristics!

One question that often arises from guests is about parking... I would love to know how you all handle it! 

Is this information clearly mentioned in your listing, or do you wait until the booking is completed to communicate it? 🗣️

Do you provide a parking spot on your property, or do you recommend nearby parking options?

We look forward to your thoughts and any tips on how to manage parking!🅿️

Whether you have parking or not, please share your opinions and thoughts in the comments!

Best regards,

Alex

I ensure that all of my properties include parking, with the number of spaces based on how many guests the home sleeps. In some areas, it’s required, but no matter the location, it’s always a nice convenience for guests. While parking may not always be expected, especially in busy cities where people rely on public transportation/Uber..it’s always a nice perk.

I have had multiple guests specifically ask about the parking accommodations, so clearly it’s an amenity which can attract more bookings. Furthermore, this is a great way to set a good first impression of the home. You don’t want your guest arriving to your home late at night and be forced to park far away because all the parking spots are taken.

Hi Alex,

We have undercover parking at our condo as well as EV Charging. We have it mentioned in our listing.

Yes, we have reinvested part of Airbnb payout to enlarge and pave our driveway to accommodate up to 3 guests' cars. So there are 3 free parking spots, making guests' check-in a breeze to load/unload their luggage.

My vacation home is a river front property so the house in on stilts, so the already large parking area in front of the home extends under the house.  We have one spot taken up with a kayak trailer and lawn mower, but the rest is open.  Parking is listed in amenities. This is a new property for me and when I posted I forgot to take a pic of that side of the house showing all the parking space.  We also have full RV hook ups listed in amenities, so stands to reason plenty of parking.  I will definitely add a pic of the parking space.

Hi Alex. I certainly do offer  ample parking to my guests. However, I can only offer one covered parking spot.

Hello, yes I offer guest parking

Hi Alex,

Lea here from NZ. We have street parking in front of our property, but in saying that we will certainly accommodate guests to drive down the end of the driveway in front of Our Hotel California and load their luggage into their accommodation. We also will have in the past if guests are very particular about their vehicle allowed them to park right in front of their accommodation. We have a boat parked down the back and caravan so we need access  at all times. Our neighborhood is very quiet and plenty of street parking available so guests usually have no problem with the parking arrangements.

cheers Lea

We try too. In the winter, there is no street parking, so we have to juggle, figuring out which of the family members have to leave as soon as possible. So far, it hasn't been a big deal, but we have learned that our guests' needs are continuously evolving.

Parking is available for guests.

Guests can park in driveway. 

I do mention if it’s a gated area, has a guard, or surveillance cameras.

if any restrictions I would explain with example : Only one car per booking. Cost it’s free. 

Additional  Notes: Please use the remote control to open the gate, or Do not block other residents’ spaces.

Best,

Joscelyne V.

Hi @Alex,

I host a full private home, and guests have access to both the driveway and the garage for their parking needs at no additional cost. I make sure to clearly mention this in my listing so guests know upfront that they’ll have a secure and convenient place to park.

I’ve found that providing this information ahead of time helps guests plan better and adds to their overall experience. Happy to hear how other hosts handle this as well!

Best,
Kenny
