Set pricing

If you haven't added your spot to your Parkade app, do that first (here's how).

Once you've added your spot, you should consider updating your monthly pricing to make it attractive to renters in your building. The lower the price you set, the more likely your spot will get booked!

If you're using simple pricing, just lower your hourly price and we'll take care of the rest. If you're manually setting prices, you can just adjust your monthly price:

Note that once you have a long-term reservation, changing the price will only affect future reservations — we change prices on reservations that have already been made.

Make your spot available

For your spot to get booked monthly, it needs to be available "long-term". In Parkade's system, that means when someone searches for a long-term spot in Parkade, your spot must be available for at least 60 consecutive days beyond the start date/time they've just searched for. So, if your spot is available every day — forever — that will obviously work.

You can make your spot availability long term by adding one day of availability (say midnight to midnight the next day) and setting it to repeat every day, by tapping Host → Calendar, select the "Detailed" view and then add repeating daily availability:

However, you can also just make your spot available for a date range, like Sep 1 - Dec 31. If someone searches for long-term parking starting Sep. 5, we would show your Sep 1 - Dec 31 spot as an option, as it's available at least 60 days past Sep 5.

To add a long block of dates, just go to the Host tab and then Calendar section, and then open the "Detailed" calendar. Hit "Edit availability" and add a date range of your choosing, at minimum 60 days (but preferably more):

Double check your availability, and add as much as you're comfortable committing to (though you can cancel later).
