How many messages should I send and how long will it take?

It depends on your specific need - some parking spaces are easier to find than others. So to make the most of the site we recommend that you send 8-10 messages and allow a 7 day turnaround, although it is likely you will gain a good number of replies within days. Many listings also contain mobile phone numbers which will allow for immediate contact. If your first round of emails don't introduce you to the right person, simply send out a second round the following week - there will be more people to choose from and you are likely to succeed within that week. You may also need to consider varying your expectations (perhaps offering an increased rental amount or longer rental terms if the parking space is in a high demand area).

I sent a message last week and did not get a response, what do I do?

Due to the increasing popularity of the website, sometimes system messages are getting stuck in spam/trash folders. Its always good to make a quick phone call if there is a phone number available. Otherwise, please let us know and we can provide you with the direct email of parking providers for you to contact. You can also post a wanted listing by logging in and going to parkingmadeeasy.com.au/listing/quick and choosing offer type wanted.

Any discrepancies or concerns regarding listings are followed up by Parking Cupid. Any negative feedback is checked and acted upon immediately.

Why pay when other websites are free?

With a choice of free websites it's natural to ask this question. Free websites do not have the resources to invest in the latest tools and innovations, by choosing to use a paid website you will benefit from smart design, clever navigation and great search tools which enhance the user experience. You will also have the assurance that the content on the site is checked for quality purposes. Additionally, as a paid subscriber you will also have your own dedicated email inbox. This means you can chat safely and privately, only giving out personal information if, and when, you're ready. This alone is a good answer to the question. Finally, we also have a customer care team on hand to answer any queries you may have about how to use the features of the site, uploading photos or about your subscription. Whatever your question, we’re here to offer some friendly support.

How do I give the driver the swipe card / remote / key to my parking space?

Does Parking Cupid screen the listings?

We are an introduction website only, so we do not do screenings. Members should conduct thorough phone screenings, interviews and reference checking before scheduling a booking.
