Don’t believe everything you read…

…unless I wrote it.
I’d like to clear up a few misconceptions about ParkWhiz.
- ParkWhiz can tell you when street parking is available FALSE! ParkWhiz only searches off-street parking, such as lots, garages, and driveways.
- ParkWhiz is an auction service for parking FALSE! There are no auctions and no bidding on ParkWhiz. Sellers set a price for parking, and that’s how much it costs. If you reserve parking on ParkWhiz, it’s yours; no worrying about being outbid or having your spot swiped.
- ParkWhiz is only available in Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York FALSE! Anyone in the US can list parking for rent on ParkWhiz, whether you’re in Portland, OR, or Portland, ME. In the words of Howard Dean, “We’re going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico. We’re going to California and Texas and New York, and we’re going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan… Byaaah!!!”
If you’re not sure, just ask!

“In the words of Howard Dean…” greatest expansion strategy ever!
I would go to Saratoga Racetrack and always thought it was cool that so many people rented out there driveways and lawns for parking.

Can I resell or auction a parking space reserved through ParkWhiz on a third party site like Craigslist or eBay?

At this time, ParkWhiz reservations are non-transferable. This is to avoid any confusion for the owner of the parking space — some individuals like to know who will be parking in their space — and to simplify things in the event either party has to cancel a reservation. As the ParkWhiz reservation system matures, we may changes this policy if we see a benefit to ParkWhiz users.
