If you have a permanent parking allocation, you can let someone else use your space on days you're not in the office. There are two ways to do this: Share and Gift. This article explains the difference and walks you through both.
Note: This feature is only available if your administrator has turned it on for your organisation. If you don't see the Share or Gift options in your app, check with your administrator.
Share vs Gift: what's the difference?
Share releases your bay back into the pool for any driver to book. You choose the dates, and anyone in your organisation with booking access can claim the space.
Gift gives your bay to one specific person. You enter their email address, and only they can use the space on the dates you choose.
Use Share when you don't mind who parks in your bay. Use Gift when you want to hand it to a specific colleague.
In both cases, you lose access to the car park during the dates you've released, so only share or gift days you're sure you won't need the space.
Please note: you can only share or gift a bay if it's allocated solely to you. If a bay is shared between two or more drivers, neither of you can share or gift that space, since it's already allocated.
Before you start
You need a valid phone number on your profile to share or gift your space. Add this in your Profile settings if you haven't already.
How to share your space
Open the app and go to the Manage tab.
Select Share.
The first time you do this, you'll be asked to read and agree to the terms and conditions. Select Continue.
Select the dates your space won't be used.
Select Share Space.
You'll see a summary of your shared dates under "Parking You've Shared" on the Manage tab.
To cancel a share: Go to Manage and select Cancel next to the date. Note that you can't cancel if another driver has already booked your space for that day.
How to gift your space
Open the app and go to the Manage tab.
Select Gift.
Enter the email address of the colleague you're gifting the space to.
Select the dates you want to gift.
Select Give Space.
You'll see a "Space Given" summary confirming the booking. The colleague you gifted the space to will get a confirmation email with the details.
To cancel a gift: Go to the Manage tab and select View next to your allocation. Choose the date you want to cancel. The other person will get a cancellation email letting them know the space is no longer available.
Accessing the car park
On any day you've shared or gifted your space, you won't be able to access the car park yourself. To use the car park as normal:
Stop in front of the gate you want to use.
Open the Access tab.
Select the blue Enter Car Park button once it appears.
The gate will open once you press it.
