Parking

[Brandy213]

Hey guys how do you control what you want happening with parking. Im having issue with people bringing too many vehicles and parking in front of the neighbors homes. They arent listening after talking to them numerous times and ive lost another air bnb from this issue.

I have a similar concern at my property, but fortunately I have ample parking space near my premises for 6–8 large vehicles. What has worked well for me is making it very clear before the guest arrives that all vehicles must be parked Properly  in front of my homes.

 I also have a simple parking sign at the entrance showing guests where to park.

In my experience, prevention and clear instructions before arrival are much easier than trying to correct the problem after guests have already parked outside.

If you have sufficient space, I would make private on-site parking a positive feature of your listing rather than treating it only as a restriction.

As @Snehal1 said @Brandy213 , if you have to ask guests to move a car it's generally too late. 

You need the information in the listing and you need to ask the car count right after booking (explain why you ask) while they can still cancel for free (or before accepting if you're on Request to Book).  

Also add parking instructions to the arrival instructions, as well as inside the listing: "Please ensure vehicles are only parked ..."  along with a very brief mention of local law enforcement's penalities for parking violations.
