Smart Pricing for Your Parking Spot
Set three numbers — hourly, daily, and monthly — and the system builds a complete pricing curve that handles every duration in between. No manual tiers, no discount codes, no pricing gaps.
3 Numbers, Full Control
You set three rates and everything else is calculated automatically:
When you set the hourly rate, the daily and monthly rates auto-fill with sensible defaults. You can adjust any of them independently. The system then generates a smooth pricing curve for every duration — 3 hours, 5 days, 2 weeks — without you having to configure each one.
Progressive Pricing — Volume Discounts, Automatically
The default pricing curve gives each additional hour or day a slightly lower marginal cost. The longer someone parks, the better value they get — but the total always goes up. No sudden jumps, no weird pricing traps.
The Problem with Traditional Tier-Based Discounts
Most parking and rental platforms use fixed discount tiers: "7+ days = 10% off" or "30+ days = 20% off". This creates a well-known problem:
| Duration | Daily rate | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 days | $20 | $100 | |
| 6 days | $20 | $120 | |
| 7 days | $17 15% off | $119 | Cheaper than 6 days! |
| 8 days | $17 | $136 |
The discount kicks in at an arbitrary threshold, creating a cliff where 7 days is actually cheaper than 6. Guests learn to game it — booking 7 days even when they need 5. Owners lose revenue. And this happens on real platforms all the time.
How ParkingUncover Does It
The pricing curve is smooth and continuous. Every additional day costs a little less than the previous one, but the total always increases. No cliffs, no gaming.
| Duration | Marginal cost | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 day | $20.00 | $20 |
| 2 days | $18.50 | $38.50 |
| 5 days | $15.20 | $86 |
| 7 days | $13.80 | $113 |
| 14 days | $10.50 | $190 |
| 30 days | $7.00 | $400 |
Every day is priced fairly. No discounts to manage, no tier thresholds to worry about. You set daily and monthly, and the curve fills in the rest.
Flat Rate — Simple, Predictable Pricing
Some drivers just want a clear price: "$20 per day" means $40 for 2 days, $60 for 3. No math, no surprises.
Toggle on Flat Rate in the pricing chart and set how many days use a fixed per-day price. After that point, Progressive pricing takes over for longer bookings.
| Days | Flat Rate | Progressive |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $20 | $20 |
| 2 | $40 | $36 |
| 3 | $60 | $49 |
| 4 | $80 | $60 |
| 5+ | Progressive curve takes over from $80 toward $400/month | |
If the flat-rate total would exceed the end price (e.g., $20/day for 25 days = $500, but monthly rate is $400), the system automatically adjusts the step size to fit — and shows you a note explaining the adjustment.
Management Fees — Without the Fee Fatigue
On traditional platforms, guests often see a breakdown like this:
If you have a one-time management or setup cost, just drag the first point on the pricing curve higher. The "fee" gets baked into the first hour or first day — the rest of the curve continues normally. Guests see one clean price instead of a confusing fee breakdown.
For example: your standard daily rate is $20, but you want a $10 management fee. Drag day 1 up to $30. Day 2 onwards continues from the curve as normal. A 1-night guest pays $30, a 7-night guest pays ~$123 — the fee is absorbed naturally over longer stays.
What Guests Pay
A small platform fee of $0.60 + 7% is added on top of your price to cover platform and payment processing costs. You always receive the full amount you set.
When setting your rates, you'll see a live "Guest pays" preview under each price input — so you always know the final amount before publishing.
