Parking Darlinghurst

Australians flock to Darlinghurst for a multitude of reasons. Whether it’s to celebrate Australia’s biggest LGBT parade or walk up and down exploring Stanley Street’s Little Italy, Darlinghurst is known for its many attractions.

But the spirit of inclusivity that Darlinghurst prides itself on doesn’t extend to one, hugely important, area: safe, affordable and convenient parking for all!

So, what can be done to solve the shortage of safe, affordable and convenient parking New South Wales is fast becoming known for? The solution is simple: turn to Parkhound.

About Parkhound

Parkhound is a peer-to-peer parking platform that connects people who need parking to the parking Darlinghurst residents are ready to provide. These people are known respectively as ‘drivers’ and ‘hosts’ on the Parkhound platform.

Since its establishment in 2013, Parkhound has provided over 100 000 Aussie drivers with access to the parking they need and helped more than 28 000 hosts earn over $24 000 000. Those numbers are impressive by anyone’s standards.

Why Do People Use Parkhound?

People use Parkhound to solve their parking problems for many reasons. Here are just a few:

• The parking space listings found on the Parkhound platform can be up to 60% cheaper than parking offered by traditional vendors. So if you want to save on parking costs, check out the cheap parking Darlinghurst locals and neighbours like Rushcutters Bay have on offer.
• Less time and fuel wasted by driving around looking for available parking spots in well-lit, safe, conveniently located spaces.
• Whether you need the monthly parking Darlinghurst and Surry Hills hosts have available or just need somewhere safe to park your car for a few hours—Parkhound has options that suit everyone’s needs.
• You can choose the type of access you’d like. Do you need to park in a boomed off area? Do you want a key to access the garage housing your vehicle? Or do you prefer the idea of parking in swipe card, ticketing or passcode protected areas? Take your pick from the available options.
• Parkhound has your back. Rest assured that you won’t come back to your vehicle to find hefty fines tucked into your windshield wipers. And should any issues arise during your booking, the Parkhound team will help you resolve them.

Provide the Parking Darlinghurst Needs

Are you lucky enough to have the excess parking Darlinghurst is lacking? Here’s a few examples of the kind of people who make the best Parkhound hosts:

• People who have a parking bay included as part of their monthly apartment rental, but do not have a vehicle themselves
• Locals who choose to park their own vehicle inside their garage, leaving their driveway empty
• Property owners who have a residential or commercial garage they’re not currently using
• People who have enough available space in their garden to comfortably house a vehicle   

Examples of the types of parking Darlinghurst hosts offer include garages, driveways, allocated parking bays, carports and unsheltered open spaces such as backyards.

How Much Do Parkhound hosts Earn?

One of the main reasons why so many people choose to become hosts on Parkhound is because of the awesome opportunity to earn passive income.

Some hosts can earn up to $400 per month!

How much a host can earn from their unused parking space is dependent on a number of factors such as:  

• Location
