How it works

Three taps from here to parked.

Finding parking on Kotse takes seconds. No meters, no circling, no surprises at the gate.

STEP 01

Search

Enter your destination. Kotse shows nearby parking spots from real hosts, driveways, garages, lots, sorted by distance and price.

STEP 02

Book

Pick a spot and tap book. Instant-book spots confirm right away; others take up to 3 hours for the host to approve. No charge until confirmed.

STEP 03

Park

Open the reservation for the exact address and parking directions. Roll in, stay for your booked window, done.

For drivers

Spend less on parking. Skip the circling.

Browse real-world prices from people near you. Most Kotse spots beat street meters, garages, and event parking by a wide margin.

Transparent fees, shown upfront

Every checkout breaks down the reservation fee and service fee before you pay.

  • Always shown before you pay
  • Cancel ahead, get every cent back

Built to keep everyone whole.

Secure payments

Stripe processes every transaction. Your card number never touches Kotse's servers. PCI Level 1 certified.

Fair refund policy

Questions

Answers, in plain English.
