Solving New Zealand’s Hidden Space Problem

Making parking and storage accessible, affordable, and local — while helping space owners earn extra income from underutilized areas they already have.

Our Mission

Across Auckland and other growing cities, homes are getting smaller, driveways are disappearing, and storage is becoming harder to find. Medium‑density housing, townhouses, and apartments often come with limited or no parking, and almost no room for the things people actually own — boats, trailers, tools, or even the extra boxes that come with moving house.

At the same time, thousands of people across the region have unused driveways, parking lots, empty garages, spare sheds, storage units and open land sitting idle — whether they own their property, rent, or manage a commercial site. ParknStore was created to connect these two groups through a safe, managed, and reliable platform that makes renting space simple for everyone.

We aim to provide a trusted marketplace where both sides benefit — and where the platform is actively maintained, supported, and improved to keep the experience smooth and secure.

Our Strategic Approach

Built on smart, proven models that unlock real value — not just another listing site.

Partner-First Model

B2B2C approach

Instead of relying only on homeowners, we partner with trusted commercial and semi‑commercial space owners first: churches, local businesses, schools, and small office blocks with underutilised paved areas. This builds reliable, vetted inventory fast and solves the classic chicken‑and‑egg problem of sharing economy platforms.

  • Instant density in key suburbs
  • Clear legal ownership & liability
  • Faster launch with trusted B2B anchors
  • Proven model used globally

Vehicle-First Infrastructure

Focus on "Infrastructure" over "Storage"

Commercial storage is for boxes and furniture — but most P2P spaces are better suited for vehicles. We prioritise parking for cars, boats, RVs, caravans, and trailers. A quiet suburban driveway is often superior to a distant commercial lot for boat or campervan owners. This clear differentiation gives us a competitive edge and faster liquidity.

  • Vehicle parking (cars, boats, RVs)
  • Better utilisation of driveways & garages
  • Avoid direct battle with big storage boxes
  • Leverage real local convenience

These strategic pillars guide our roadmap — moving from targeted commercial partnerships to a vehicle‑first marketplace that serves both everyday commuters and weekend boat owners alike.

Why This Matters Right Now

Demand for parking and storage continues to rise while supply shrinks. We bridge the gap.

For Guests

Whether you need:

  • A parking spot close to work
  • Secure place to store your boat or caravan
  • Temporary storage while moving
  • Long‑term space for a trailer or classic car

ParknStore helps you find affordable, nearby options from real people and local businesses in your community — with the confidence of a platform that handles bookings, payments, and support.

For Space Owners

If you have access to:

  • A driveway or off-street parking
  • A garage, carport, or shed
  • A basement, spare room, or warehouse corner
  • Any unused land, paved area, or business parking lot
