Rent someone else’s parking spot using ParkingHunter

My friend Tris Hussey noted a service called Parking Hunter earlier this month on MapleLeaf 2.0.

In concept, it’s a pretty cool idea. If you’re traveling to a busy city and you’re going to need parking space in areas that are normally pretty expensive, you can use Parking Hunter to rent parking space from local people who’ve got it (driveways, etc.)

Apparently the price varies from free to “what the market will bear.” So a quick google search might be in order, just to make sure you aren’t getting ripped off, but my guess is that it’ll turn out to be cheaper and more convenient than hunting for parking garages in many cases.
