Looking for more revenue? You don’t need to build up - you just need to look down. 

Your parking lot might be one of the most overlooked money-makers on your property. And with Mews Spaces and the Hourly Booking Engine, monetizing it is easier than ever. 

Why parking matters more than you think 

Travelers aren’t just looking for a bed - they’re looking for convenience. And few things are more convenient than knowing there’s a parking spot waiting when they arrive. 

But here’s the twist: guests expect parking. If you’re offering it for free or managing it manually, you’re not just missing out on revenue - you’re risking a bad review when availability runs out. 

On the flip side, charging for parking (and managing it properly) is a win-win: 

  • You earn incremental revenue without lifting a finger. 

  • You set clear expectations for availability. 

  • You offer a smoother, more professional experience. 

Beyond guests: open your parking to the public 

With the Hourly Booking Engine, parking can go beyond hotel guests. Think local workers without office parking, freelancers using your co-working space, or guests attending events in your meeting rooms. 

Every hour someone parks is an hour you get paid. 

Manage parking like you manage rooms 

Mews Spaces lets you treat parking just like any other inventory: 

  • Create and name each spot. 

  • Set availability and pricing. 

  • Book by the hour or day. 

It’s fast to set up, easy to manage, and all inside your existing Mews environment. No new tools. No extra training. 

Price it your way 

  • Charge by the hour for quick visits. 

  • Offer all-day packages. 

  • Upsell parking during booking or check-in. 

  • Use dynamic pricing based on demand periods. 

It’s your inventory. Price it your way. 

Small change, big upside 

Adding parking to your bookable spaces takes minutes. But the payoff? Better guest experience, smoother operations, and extra revenue, all from a space you already own.

Now you know about it, go turn your parking spots into bookable service or if you’ve done that set up your Hourly Booking Engine and optimize every square meter of your property at every hour of the day.  

Hello ​@mark.legge,

Although this is really great for properties renting out parking on an hourly basis, it is less suitable for those that do not - yet still need to track parking space availability.

As we operate properties that only offer parking to overnight guests, I am looking for a way to have parking more closely integrated with the main reservation, similar to how products are added under “items.” Instead of switching between services when creating new reservations - and then having to check in and check out two separate bookings (Accommodation + Parking) for the same guest - it would be far more efficient to manage everything within a single reservation.

Having inventory and/or sell limits on products would be a great benefit and would make sense for many different products.

I understand that Mews’ business model is based on charging customers per space, which may be one reason why product inventory has not yet been developed. However, from my perspective as a customer, it makes much more sense to have one reservation to which you can simply add products - such as bike rentals, parking, extra beds, etc. Products with limited availability should not need to be set up as separate bookable services just to avoid overselling them.

I’d be happy to discuss this further in a call if you’d like to explore possible solutions.
