How it works

Clarity first — fewer disputes later

Short bullet points for investors, hosts with empty bays, and drivers looking for parking. Use this page to understand SpotEarn before you book, list, or pay.

Full rules live on Policies.

Why SpotEarn exists

  • More people need cars for work and family travel, but many homes do not have enough parking.
  • At the same time, many private bays stay empty for hours or days.
  • SpotEarn matches unused parking with drivers who need a clear, bookable space.
  • Hosts keep 80% of the final booking amount. SpotEarn keeps 20%.

For drivers (seeking a place to park)

  • Search by area, vehicle type, covered parking, lighting, gate, camera, or EV charger.
  • Compare price, rating, and Instant book vs Request to book.
  • Accept Policies before you pay or confirm a booking.
  • Access instructions (gate codes, entry notes) appear only after confirmation.
  • Your vehicle remains your responsibility — not the landowner’s.
  • Keep your keys by default. Only share keys with a host if you both agree.

For hosts (empty bays)

  • List a space in short steps: basics, location, amenities, pricing, review.
  • Choose Instant book or Request to book so you stay in control.
  • You provide parking space only — not a stay, and not vehicle insurance.
  • You must have permission to list (owner, landlord, PG, or society rules).
  • You earn when bookings confirm. Access details stay private until then.

Booking path in plain words

  • 1. Driver finds a space and sends a booking or instant confirmation.
  • 2. If Instant: booking can confirm after acceptance of liability terms.
  • 3. If Request: host accepts or declines.
  • 4. Payment in this version is marked Mock — for product flow only.
  • 5. After confirm, driver sees access instructions and can navigate when coordinates exist.
  • 6. Cancel free inside the stated window; later it is non-refundable in mock terms.

What SpotEarn is not

  • Not a room rental or home-stay product.
  • Not a promise that every street has available parking.
  • Not a claim that the host is liable for your car.
  • Not live bank payouts yet — fee split is shown in the ledger for clarity.

Before you raise a dispute

  • Check booking status: pending, confirmed, declined, or cancelled.
  • Re-read Policies on refunds, keys, and liability.
  • Confirm whether access should be visible yet (only after confirmation).
  • If you already listed or booked, use Contact support with a clear category.
  • Support email for cases: abhinav.gera1209@gmail.com.
