Filed under: Story,Website News — Anthony Eskinazi @ 10:17 am

Linking and mentioning ParkatmyHouse.com on your website or blog no longer needs to be a boring text link. We now offer interactive ways to integrate our growing list of available parking spaces on to your website.

Let me introduce you to our Interactive Map Widget.

By adding just three lines of code to your website you can have a map like above on your website. All you need to do is choose a postcode to display. You then have the choice to display parking spaces, pubs, restaurants and a wide variety of other local amenities using the ParkatmyHouse.com database.

The map will show the closest 25 locations around the chosen postcode. These locations link directly to the relevant information page on the ParkatmyHouse.com website.

In addition you can use drop down menus, standard text links and graphics to link directly to ParkatmyHouse.com and once you sign up to be an affiliate, you can earn up to 35% of the commission we earn through users sent to our website from your website. A preview of the material available for your website or blog is available on our promote us page. Please view more details about our affiliate scheme.

My NeighbourhoodsAnother one of our new partners is My Neighbourhoods which is being run by a web developer called Danny Bull whom I had the pleasure of meeting last week.

He is building a very useful site which ties in nicely with what we offer here at ParkatmyHouse. My Neighbourhoods is a community site which allows users to interact with others who have something to offer in their local community. It is difficult to do his site justice in just a few lines of text so go over to www.myneighbourhoods.co.uk to check it out and see what is on offer.


Zipcar – have a green car parked at your house

Filed under: Latest Parking News,Story — Katie Harvey @ 8:09 pm

ZipcarWe’re delighted to announce that hot on the heels of its recent launch in London, we’ve teamed up with Zipcar to offer ParkatmyHouse.com users a completely unique and very exciting opportunity.

What is Zipcar?

If you aren’t familiar with Zipcar, it’s a revolutionary, clean, green and affordable way of getting about by car without any of the cost and headache that comes with owning a car yourself.

The way it works is that self-service, on-demand Zipcars are parked in various locations around the city. They’re accessible 24/7 and available to reserve by the hour or by the day.

You can book a Zipcar online or over the phone at any time, any day of the week. Then all you have to do is walk to the nearby car, unlock it by swiping your unique Zipcard across the windscreen and drive away with the minimum of fuss.

Driving a Zipcar works out as a fantastic saving. It costs from as little as £4.95 an hour. That amount covers parking, petrol, insurance, maintenance, Congestion Charge and 60 miles of driving.

So you get the convenience, freedom and comfort of a car with none of the expense and aggravation. What’s more, you can drive a whole variety of fun and environmentally vehicles from a luxury BMW to a run-around MINI. It’s the perfect alternative to car ownership and we love it!

What are we offering ParkatmyHouse.com members?
If you’ve registered your space on ParkatmyHouse.com but you’re still waiting for a Parker, why not let it out to Zipcar? In return, we’ll

  • pay you for your parking space
  • give you a thank-you in the form of £85 worth of free driving credit when you become a Zipcar member!
  • give you a clean, green car available on your doorstep as and when you need it and without any of the cost and bother that comes with owning your own car.

Alternatively, if you just want to try out Zipcar, you can receive £50 worth of free driving credit by using promotional code ‘parkatmyhouse’ when you register.

Not bad we say!

How do I rent my parking space to Zipcar?

Simply edit your parking space to add it to our Zipcar opt-in database.

You’ll need to ensure is that your space is both available and accessible on a round-the-clock basis and that you have the legal right to rent out the space.

If your space is within the confines of a gated building, a lock box can be fitted to house the clicker for entry. Zipcar will deal directly with the management company responsible for the building so it’s hassle-free for you.
