17 April  2023, London, UK  - JustPark, the app that provides an easy way for those with an empty parking space to make money, is encouraging even more Brits across the UK to sign-up and get their share of the millions of pounds in additional income to be made thanks to increasing driver demand. Overall, since its launch JustPark hosts have made a combined income of more than £30 million and with three Bank Holidays soon heading our way, and UK staycations remaining a popular choice amongst Brits, signing up an empty space, or two could see profits quickly rolling in - especially for those living in prime locations. 


The top 15 cities nationwide* where parking places are particularly in demand include a mix of those popular with tourists and day-trippers, as well as those looking to park their cars near a station for an easier commute. JustPark is especially appealing to those residents and small business owners in Manchester, Brighton, Oxford, Luton, Bristol, Birmingham, Liverpool, Cardiff, Leeds, York, Newcastle, Reading, Bath, Milton Keynes, and Bournemouth who might have a space or two to offer up their spots and register online.


Just from these 15 cities, JustPark estimates at least an extra £1.85m in bookings could be made by residents this year. With residents of Manchester and Brighton alone leaving £500k up for grabs based on missed booking opportunities. 


UK tax rules allow you to earn up to £1,000 per year from a side hustle without having to declare it. And with the cost of living continuing to impact us all, a few extra pounds from letting someone else use your driveway is an easy way to generate extra earnings. Some JustPark hosts earn in excess of £4,000 a year, and there is no limit to what can be earned for those living in prime spots such as near train stations, stadiums, seaside resorts, and business centres. 


Anthony Eskinazi, CEO and Founder of JustPark said: “We want to help people to make some money in the easiest possible way. If you have access to a car parking space or two, either on your own drive, or as a small business owner you could be passively making good money from renting out the space. As the summer season arrives, we know the stress of drivers looking for somewhere to park on a busy Bank Holiday weekend for example, and by matching these drivers with a local resident then it is a win-win for the British public.”
