OkParking is the first Telegram bot in Ukraine that opens private parking lots to all drivers and helps solve the problem of parking space shortages. This solution is also an element of the sharing economy, based on the shared use of material and human resources.
One of the principles of the sharing economy is: if you don't use it, you lose it. In other words, OkParking is a kind of Airbnb, but in the parking sector.
How to rent out or rent a parking space via the OkParking chat bot
In Telegram, find OkParkingBot. Register in the bot by entering your name and phone number (or the bot will automatically pull your contact from Telegram). Before starting to use it, don't forget to read the User Agreement and Privacy Policy.
How to rent out your own parking space
In the main menu of the chat bot, select the "Rent out" section. To add a parking space, you only need to complete two simple steps:
- Choose the location and parking lot at your address. If you can't find your location or parking lot, please contact OkParkingBot support.
- Specify the number of your parking space.
Payment for renting out your parking space accumulates in the owner's balance in the OkParking chat bot. At any convenient time, the parking space owner can withdraw the earned money to a card of any Ukrainian bank in a few simple steps.
How to rent a parking space
In the main menu of the chat bot, select the "Rent" section.
- If you are using the chat bot for the first time, add information about your car — make, model, and license plate number.
- Then choose one of the suggested locations and the parking period. You can park your car for a few hours or for several days.
- Pay for parking.
After payment, the chat bot will send you a detailed route map and instructions for the chosen parking space — how to find the parking lot, how to get inside, and where the reserved spot is located. Payment for parking is made quickly and conveniently — right in the chat bot.
Parking prices via OkParking vary depending on the location. Currently, the OkParking chat bot offers services within Kyiv — renting out and renting private parking spaces in residential complexes, near business centers, fitness studios, beauty salons, and in the city center. The service is still operating in pilot mode and invites users — owners and renters — to join the chat bot. In the future, the OkParking team plans to expand both coverage in Kyiv and in other major cities of Ukraine.
