All about
Parqy.

Everything you need to know about renting, hosting, security, and data privacy.

What is Parqy and how does it work?

Parqy is a digital platform that connects drivers looking for secure parking spaces directly with owners of private driveways. Drivers can easily search, book, and access spaces via mobile, while space owners monetize their idle concrete.

How do I become a host and list my parking space?

Becoming a host takes minutes. Simply sign up, go to "Become a Host", upload a few details of your driveway or parking spot, set your availability, and define your own pricing. Once published, drivers in your area can request or book your space.

How does the verification and security process work?

To ensure a safe and trusted community, Parqy uses secure identity verification powered by our partner Stripe. Hosts go through a streamlined verification process to guarantee safety and prevent fraud.

How do I find and book parking as a driver?

Navigate to "Find", enter your destination in Cologne or elsewhere, choose a matching private or commercial spot, and book it directly through your phone. Access to the parking area is handled seamlessly via Google Maps and Apple Maps connection.

What data does Parqy store and how long is it kept?

We store only necessary transactional and account data required to provide our service, and comply with legal obligations (such as tax laws). Personal data is encrypted and stored securely. We do not store your banking information, nor your verification documents on our servers, these run entirely via StripeYou can request a full data export or account deletion at any time in accordance with GDPR.

How can I delete my account and personal data?

You can delete your account directly within your profile settings or by sending a request to our support team at hello@parqy.app. Once requested, your personal data will be permanently removed from our active databases, subject to statutory retention periods.

Where is Parqy based?

Parqy is headquartered in Cologne, Germany.

Can I offer my garage or a space behind a gate?

Currently, garages are not available on our platform. All spaces must be easily accessible with no gate barriers.

What requirements must my listing meet to be successfully hosted?

Your driveway must be fully accessible without any problems ("barrier-free"). Furthermore, your photos must be high quality and showcase the parking space accurately. There must be no mismatch or misleading representation, otherwise the listing will be removed. While a description is optional, adding one gives drivers valuable context—such as proximity to the city center or nearby points of interest.
