About this app
YourParkingSpace connects drivers with owners of private driveways and operators of car parks across the UK and Ireland, covering more than 350,000 spaces. Users search by postcode or destination, compare listed prices, and pay in-app or on the website for hourly, daily, or monthly access, with a barrier code, permit, or ANPR registration issued on booking. The platform also runs a supply side letting homeowners and landlords list spare driveways for passive income, and offers commercial parking-management tools (payments, ANPR, analytics) to operators. Acquired by Flash, the app is positioned as a one-stop marketplace rather than a real-time street-parking meter app, so its usefulness depends heavily on whether a listed space exists near the destination.
- Search and prebook driveways, car parks and commercial lots by postcode

Pros & cons
What we like
- Very large UK/Ireland inventory (350,000+ spaces) including airports and stations
- Prebooking guarantees a space, useful for events and travel
- Simple monthly commuter parking option often cheaper than official operators
- Also lets homeowners monetise driveways, adding supply in dense areas
What could improve
- Coverage limited to the UK and Ireland only, no international use
- Play Store rating stuck at 4.0 with recurring complaints about refunds and cancellations
- No real-time on-street/meter payment, so it doesn't compete with apps like RingGo for kerbside parking
How to use YourParkingSpace
- Enter destination postcode, date and time window in the app or website
- Compare available driveways/car parks and prices, then select one
- Pay upfront by card; receive booking confirmation, code or permit details
- Follow the listing's access instructions (gate code, ANPR plate registration, or physical permit)
- Extend, amend or cancel the booking from the app per the listing's cancellation policy
Editor’s tips
- Check the individual listing's cancellation and refund policy before booking, as terms vary by host/operator
- Register your car's number plate correctly for ANPR-access sites to avoid fines
- Book monthly commuter spots slightly in advance as popular driveways near stations sell out
- Read recent listing reviews since space quality and access reliability vary by individual host
Editor’s verdict
YourParkingSpace is a solid choice specifically for UK and Ireland drivers who need to guarantee a parking spot in advance, especially near airports, stations or event venues, or who want a cheaper alternative to official monthly parking. Its driveway-marketplace model gives it inventory that pure car-park apps lack. The catch is that it is not a general parking app: it does nothing for on-street meter payment, only works where a host or operator has listed a space, and its 4.0 rating reflects genuine friction around cancellations, refunds and occasional access-code issues at busier sites. Treat it as a prebooking marketplace, not an everyday parking-finder, and check the specific listing's cancellation terms before relying on it for a tight schedule.

How it compares
vs RingGo
RingGo handles real-time on-street/kerbside meter payments across UK councils, while YourParkingSpace is a prebooking marketplace for private driveways and car parks; they serve different parking types and are often used together.
vs JustPark
JustPark and YourParkingSpace are direct competitors with very similar driveway-marketplace models in the UK; JustPark has broader brand recognition while YourParkingSpace leans more on commercial car park operator partnerships.
Frequently asked questions
Does YourParkingSpace work outside the UK and Ireland?
