Secure and Personalized Parking Experience
When you provide your email address to parking garage and parking station platforms, you're not just creating another online account—you're establishing a secure, personalized connection to our service. Your email serves as the foundation for account security, allowing you to safely log in and reset your password if needed. This is particularly important when dealing with parking spaces that might be at your home or property. According to the Australian Cyber Security Centre, email verification is one of the most effective first lines of defense against unauthorized account access. Beyond security, your email enables us to deliver a tailored parking experience based on your specific needs and preferences. Our system learns from your previous searches and bookings, prioritizing parking options that match your patterns—whether you're looking for CBD parking during work hours or weekend spots near popular Australian beaches and entertainment venues. This personalization saves you valuable time and reduces the frustration of scrolling through irrelevant options. "With over 4 billion users globally, email continues to be a preferred method of communication for both personal and business interactions," notes Get Response, an all-in-one marketing platform.
Real-time Notifications and Critical Updates
One of the most valuable benefits of providing your email is receiving real-time information about your parking lot and car park bookings. When you're rushing to an important meeting or trying to make it to a concert on time, the last thing you need is uncertainty about your parking arrangement. With email notifications, you'll receive:Enhanced Communication and Community Engagement
Your email opens the door to seamless communication within our parking community. When you're renting out your driveway or seeking a monthly parking arrangement, clear communication is essential. Email provides a secure channel that protects your privacy while facilitating conversations with parking spots owners and potential renters. Rather than sharing personal phone numbers, our email-based messaging system keeps your contact details private until you're ready to share them. This has proven particularly valuable for our users in residential areas where parking is at a premium—allowing neighbors to connect and solve local parking challenges together. As Daniel Battaglia, founder of Parksy, notes in his book: "The average rate you can get for a parking spot is around AUS $400 a month, or AUS $4,000 a year, with some variation depending on your location." Effective communication is crucial when such significant financial arrangements are involved. For many Australians, particularly in our most parking-constrained cities, these community-based parking solutions have transformed how they think about vehicle storage—turning what was once a daily hassle into a potential income stream or cost-saving opportunity.
Fraud Prevention and Building Trust
In a marketplace where strangers are connecting to share physical spaces, trust is paramount. Email verification serves as an essential layer in preventing fraud and building a trusted parking spaces community platform. By requiring email signup, we can verify identities, reduce spam accounts, and maintain accountability across our network of parking providers and users. According to the ACCC's Scamwatch, Australians lost over $176 million to scams in 2020, highlighting the importance of robust verification systems.

Your email also functions as a universal username that works across all your devices. Whether you're:
