One of the big advatanges of advertising parking on ParkWhiz over craigslist is that people can actualy find your parking if you list it on ParkWhiz. Have you ever tried to shop for a monthly spot on craigslist? While it’s nice that anyone can put up a listing and add as much or as little info as possible, it makes sorting through those listings a real drag. To remedy this problem, all ParkWhiz listings need a specific address and a contact phone number.

Now as we all know, “On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog.” What if you don’t want some random dog seeing your address or phone number? We’ve built privacy-protecting features into ParkWhiz for just this reason.

When listing your parking for sale, you have the option to have interested drivers call or email for more information. The “call” option will display your phone number, but the email option will just create a message box on the listing page that people can use to contact you. The email communication goes through ParkWhiz, so your personal email address is kept hidden.

We’ve also added an option to not reveal your full address. For example, if you listed parking at “31 Main Street” but were concerned about displaying your home address, you could choose to have it displayed as just “Main Street.” Only when someone has purchased a parking reservation is the full address revealed. This poses little inconvenience to people searching for parking, while protecting your privacy.

These are just some new features; ParkWhiz has always valued your privacy. We want to help you buy and sell parking – on your terms!
