Safety
Your safety is our top priority. Here's how ParkIt protects you and what you can do to stay safe.
For Guests (Parkers)
Document Everything
Take photos of the parking space when you arrive and before you leave. This protects you if a damage claim is filed after your booking.
Check Reviews
Read reviews from other parkers before booking. Look for notes about safety, lighting, and accessibility.
Use Secure Payment
Always pay through ParkIt. Never pay cash or send money off-platform. Our escrow system holds your payment until the booking is complete.
Report Issues
If a space is unsafe, inaccessible, or materially different from the listing, report it within 24 hours for a full refund.
For Hosts (Spot Owners)
Carry Insurance
We require hosts to confirm they have homeowner's or renter's insurance that covers third-party vehicle parking. Verify with your provider.
Photograph Before & After
Take photos of your space before and after each booking. This is your strongest evidence if a damage claim is filed.
Accurate Listings
Describe your space honestly — dimensions, clearance, access instructions, and any restrictions. Inaccurate listings lead to disputes.
Secure Access
Provide clear access instructions. If your space has a gate or lock, share codes only with confirmed renters through the platform.
Damage Claims
If your vehicle or property is damaged during a booking, ParkIt has a structured dispute resolution process:
- File a claim within 24 hours of the booking end time
- Include photos and a description of the damage
- Both parties have 48 hours to respond with evidence
- ParkIt reviews all evidence and issues a decision within 5 business days
See our Terms of Service for full details on damage claims, dispute resolution, and liability limitations.
Emergency
If you are in immediate danger, call 911. ParkIt is not a substitute for emergency services. For non-emergency safety concerns about a listing or user, contact us at support@park-it.net.
