Cardiff’s Biggest Events, Cardiff’s Smartest Earners
From roaring Six Nations weekends to sold-out concerts and major sporting finals, the Principality Stadium transforms Cardiff whenever big events come into town. Streets fill, excitement builds, and the city centre becomes one of the busiest places in Wales.
And for people who live nearby, this surge of visitors creates a unique opportunity:
earning extra income by renting out private parking space with JustPark.
What used to be an ordinary driveway can suddenly become a high-demand event-day asset. Space owners near Principality Stadium can earn over £100 a month by renting out their driveways.
Why Your Driveway Matters on Stadium Days
On major matchdays, more than 70,000 fans head toward the stadium, but parking remains limited, and road closures make things even trickier. Trains run full, buses get crowded, and many visitors want a convenient place to park before the chaos begins.
If you live in areas like:
- Riverside
- Canton
- Pontcanna
- Cardiff City Centre
…your location gives you an advantage.
Fans look for safe, pre-booked parking within walking distance, and homeowners across the UK have seen their yearly earnings go up by as much as 57% by renting out their driveways during major events.
How to Start Earning with JustPark
1. List Your Space for Free
Renting out your driveway for matchdays and event days takes just a few minutes and doesn’t cost anything. You’ll be asked to add:
- Photos of your space (clear, well-lit images help you get more bookings)
- A description (is it a driveway, garage, secure space, etc.?)
- How many vehicles the space can accommodate
- Any size restrictions (narrow entrance, height limits, tight turning, etc.)
- Access instructions (where the space is, how drivers should enter, anything they need to know)
The more detail you include, the easier it is for drivers to choose your space with confidence.
2. Set Matchday Rates
Demand often spikes before and after fixtures, especially for high-profile matches, so you can adjust your pricing on those days to maximise earnings. You’re in full control of your prices and availability at all times.
3. Get Paid Automatically
Once a driver uses your space, your earnings become available quickly and securely:
- Daily / hourly / weekly bookings: Withdrawable 48 hours after the booking begins
- Monthly bookings: Withdrawable after the first month’s renewal, then on the same date each month
You don’t need to be home, meet anyone, or keep drivers' keys. Drivers simply arrive, park, and go. You can choose automatic payouts or withdraw funds manually whenever you prefer.
