By Kim Glovas KYW Newsradio 1060 November 2, 2020 11:11 am PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — There’s an app for everything nowadays. Parking apps in Philadelphia have been around for about a decade, usually for valet services or parking lots. But a new app puts homeowners in charge of renting out their personal spaces. The app, called Prked, is like Airbnb, but for parking spaces, according to co-founder Dylan Fay.

Now parking space rental apps are becoming the next must-have. Prked is expanding from its home state of Miami into other markets like Salt Lake City after launching in February 2020. The idea is similar to that of AirBnb, but instead of renting a place to stay, you're renting a spot to park your vehicle.

A Miami-based startup that bills itself as the “Airbnb of parking” is ready to expand its service to the region.

The founder and CEO of PRKED, Zack Saadioui explains the new parking app coming to Pittsburgh.

This is because most of these parking spaces are privately owned driveways, home garages, business and commercial spaces, parking lots, and many more.
