Spotly turns every driveway, garage, and unused parking spot into bookable parking. Finding parking is one of those small frustrations that quietly steals time. You circle the block. You feed a meter. You overpay for a garage two blocks farther than you wanted. Spotly fixes that by connecting drivers who need a spot with people who already have one. For drivers: open Spotly, see real parking spots nearby with hourly pricing and availability. Pick the spot you want, choose your time, and pay in seconds with Apple Pay. Your exact address is revealed one hour before your booking starts — arrive at a spot you already know is yours. For hosts: have a driveway sitting empty during the day? List it on Spotly in minutes. Set your hourly rate, the days you're available, and get paid automatically through Stripe. Real income from space that's already yours. Privacy and trust built in: • Host addresses are never publicly visible — drivers see a general area and book before the exact address appears • Every driver enters a license plate at checkout • Payments processed by Stripe (the same infrastructure as Lyft and DoorDash) — Spotly never sees or stores your card • Report issues from any booking; our team responds within 24 hours Spotly is for: • Commuters who need a reliable spot near work • Anyone heading to an event — concerts, games, conferences, weddings • Parents on school dropoffs and appointments • Homeowners turning unused driveway space into a passive income stream Parking should be easy. Spotly makes that real.
