Parking is one of those everyday problems that quietly drains time, money, and patience—especially in UK cities and around busy venues. JustPark set out to make the whole thing less painful by letting you find, compare, and pre-book parking from your phone. Over the last two decades, it has grown from a driveway-sharing experiment into a major parking technology platform operating in the UK and beyond.
TLDR
JustPark is a UK parking marketplace founded in London in 2006 (originally ParkatmyHouse) that lets drivers find, compare, and pre-book parking—including private driveways—while allowing homeowners and businesses to earn money by renting out spare spaces. It now serves 13M+ UK drivers and 45k+ space owners, has paid hosts over £90m, and has expanded globally after merging with ParkHub in 2024 and rebranding the wider group as JustPark.
Origins: From “ParkatmyHouse” to JustPark
JustPark was founded in London in 2006 by Anthony Eskinazi. The original idea—launched under the name ParkatmyHouse—was simple: thousands of private driveways sit empty during the day, so why not let drivers rent them when they need to park nearby? That made it one of the UK’s earliest sharing-economy success stories, years before the term became fashionable.
What the Platform Does
JustPark works as a two-sided marketplace:
For drivers
You can:
- search a destination
- see nearby options on a live map
- compare prices and rules
- read reviews
- reserve and pay in advance
- park with much less guesswork
For space owners (hosts)
Homeowners and businesses can:
- list their driveway, garage, or private lot
- set availability and pricing
- earn money whenever someone books
JustPark takes a service fee from bookings while the host keeps most of the price they set.
Scale in the UK
The service is now huge by UK standards. JustPark reports:
- 13 million+ UK drivers using the platform
- 45,000+ space owners
- £90m+ earned by hosts
- millions of bookings annually
That scale is part of why the app stays useful—more spaces attract more drivers, and more drivers motivate more hosts to list.
Why Drivers Use JustPark
Drivers come to JustPark for practical benefits:
- Pre-booked certainty
Great for hospitals, airports, commuting, and event days where “I’ll just find something” often fails. - Clearer pricing
You can compare multiple options before you leave home, rather than paying surprise tariffs on arrival. - Access to hidden spots
Private driveways near stadiums or city centres are frequently closer, quieter, and sometimes cheaper than traditional car parks.
Why Hosts List Their Spaces
For hosts, JustPark is a low-effort side income stream. A driveway near a commuter station, football ground, or city centre can turn into consistent cash without changing much about daily life. The platform also gives owners tools to manage pricing and availability easily.
JustPark’s New Global Chapter
JustPark isn’t only a UK app anymore.
- In April 2024, JustPark merged with US event-parking technology company ParkHub, creating a bigger transatlantic parking platform.
- In April 2025, ParkHub officially rebranded globally as JustPark, bringing the name to major North American venues and event parking systems.
- In August 2025, JustPark acquired Oobeo, a valet/permit and contactless payment startup, signaling a push into more end-to-end “frictionless parking” tech.
These moves position JustPark not just as a marketplace, but as a broader “parking operating system” for everyday locations and major venues.
Role in the UK’s National Parking Platform (NPP)
JustPark is also involved in the UK’s National Parking Platform initiative. The NPP aims to let drivers use their preferred parking app across many council car parks, rather than downloading a different one in every town. Government and industry partners (including JustPark) are now rolling the system out after pilots across multiple local authorities.
Bottom Line
JustPark started as a smart way to rent spare driveways and grew into one of the UK’s most used parking apps. It helps drivers find and reserve spaces quickly, helps homeowners earn from unused parking, and—through recent mergers and acquisitions—is becoming a global leader in parking technology. If parking stress is part of your routine, JustPark is built to take a big chunk of that hassle away.
