GENERAL
Is there a registration cost?
No, the registration is free of charge for the parking host and the driver.
What is the liability policy?
We encourage parking hosts and drivers to mutually respect the property (parking and car) and not involve in the act of damage. Parking in the shared spot is similar to any other parking in the City, which is associated with its own risk. To create a transparent system, we encourage users to leave a review or provide a rating after the parking experience. In case of damage or insecurity, notify us and we will inspect the issue. Please see more details in the General Terms and Conditions.

FOR PARKING HOST
How to offer my parking spot?
It's free to list your spot with ApParkingspot, and it only takes a few minutes. From the mobile app menu choose host mode and add your spot.
How to choose your price?
You can choose the price freely, it is a good idea to use a price similar to others in the same area, but a competitive price gets more bookings. You can freely select hourly, daily, weekly and monthly prices.
Choose the total price that you want to rent out your spot for. We take up to 20% commission for the service, so we don’t add later extra fees for the drivers and make it easy for everyone to understand. That fee covers all the payment and servers fees, and future updates so we can be even better.
In case of subletting a spot your parking spot owner (e.g. APCOA) will take part of the 30% commision.
What to write at Park at and Description?
“Park at” is the name or number of the parking spot. If there is no visible identified you can write a short description.
“Description” is where you'll provide any specific instructions that will help the driver find or access your spot. For example how the driver would get hold of a key or permit if required
What if the car is parked overtime?
If you as a host have discovered an incorrectly parked vehicle, you should document your experience and complain to ApParkingSpot via support@apparkingspot.com. ApParkingSpot will, when handling your complaint, request photographs, videos or other documentation that can prove what you have experienced. Be sure to photograph or film the license plate of the incorrectly parked vehicle. In addition to this documentation, you must enter the booking reference in your complaint. ApParkingSpot pays out 500SEK in case of a valid case.
