We all know how difficult it is to find a suitable parking space in town centres, stations, shopping areas and tourist attractions. City parking charges are exorbitantly high. Clamping and release fees are a big rip-off! Double yellow marking, red route, residents only controlled parking zone and lack of parking information near major attractions add to our woes. Local shops and small enterprises are loosing business as customers avoid street parking hassles and opt for big supermarkets with (free) customer parking facilities.

Free Parking Space aims to provide free street parking information to all motorists. Though this information is available in the public domain there is currently no single source to access this data. Our site offers parking options near tourist attractions, stations, shopping centres, town centres etc. Users can search by attraction and/or town name and our endeavour is to provide free parking information “close” to the desired place.

Unfortunately in big cities like London, Manchester, Birmingham all day free parking spaces are gradually diminishing and often these are far away from local attractions. We also appreciate that it is not always possible to park far away especially for motorists with small children, disabled or elderly people. Hence, in addition to free parking information we also provide street side pay and display parking and private parking information.  This will provide motorists with an option to park legally in the absence of free parking and councils will benefit from parking charge revenues.

Motorists can search for parking options near local attractions and directly drive there. Various surveys and studies have shown that availability of free parking spaces often encourages customers to visit places which they would not have done otherwise. This will lead to increased customer numbers for local businesses.

Driving to the known street consumes less fuel than circling around in busy streets thus creating less emission. Responsible and legal parking also eases street congestion. Acting together we can all make motoring and driving enjoyable!

Our unique proposition:

We are the first and only organisation in the UK offering this kind of service. The following is a list of some of the unique features of our website:

•   We offer unlimited search options to our users completely free of charge and without the need for formal registration.
•    A mobile version of our site specifically designed for viewing on smaller screens is available for people who are on the move.
•   Similar other websites charge fees ranging from 50p to £1.50 per search and mobile/SMS access. In addition, many require user registration and credit purchase. They also often limit number of searches made per day from individual IP address.
•   We cover the whole of UK and we are growing organically. Other existing websites offer only localised services e.g. Central London parking, Out side London Congestion Zone and non DLR stations parking etc
•   Users can search based on attraction name and town or combination of both. Specific searches will however return more accurate results. One similar provider allows searches based only on London underground station names.
•   We are not associated with any private parking space owners so we do not have a vested interest in guiding motorists to paid car parks. Many other sites only provide third party pay parking information even though free parking spaces are available in the vicinity.
•   Our greater area and attraction coverage offers local councils and small businesses a unique platform to reach residents, tourists and patrons
