AirParking

What AirParking does

AirParking (legal entity Guangzhou Yueting Network Technology Co., Ltd. / 广州悦停网络科技有限公司) is a Guangzhou-based, privately held online parking space-sharing platform founded in 2015. The company operates a three-sided marketplace that connects car owners seeking urban parking with property owners (typically individual owners of private residential or commercial spaces) who list idle inventory, and with property management companies that operate larger parking facilities. Drivers can search for spaces by destination, reserve in advance, and pay through WeChat Pay, UnionPay, Alipay, or CCB Long Pay; property owners publish availability and receive 50% of each transaction's revenue (credited to an in-app wallet by 9 a.m. the following day); property management companies gain transparent digital visibility into parking operations, with the stated goal of reducing staffing costs and increasing facility revenue. The company has accumulated more than 6 million registered users, 500,000+ listed parking spaces, and 2,000+ signed property projects across 14 Chinese cities including Guangzhou, Qingdao, Wuhan, Changsha, and Taiyuan.

The underlying technology is a mobile-first internet platform with native iOS and Android applications and a website (airparking.cn), centered on a unified inventory and booking system that supports real-time search, advance reservation (with a 15-minute hold window), order management, license-plate management, owner earnings wallets, and automated notifications. Revenue is generated primarily through a 50% commission on each completed parking transaction, with an additional usage-based overtime penalty calculated as the base parking fee plus 2x the standard 15-minute unit rate. The go-to-market is dual-track: a product-led, self-serve mobile experience for individual car owners and property owners, combined with B2B distribution through flagship strategic partnerships with Zhonghai Property, Poly Property, and Yuexiu Property. The company has raised approximately $6M USD across three disclosed rounds from SAIF Partners (2017) and Guangzhou Yuexiu Industrial Investment Fund (2018), with an earlier 2016 round of undisclosed lead, and has 51–100 employees.

Emerging players

• Park+: India-based smart-parking aggregator offering discovery and booking across operators. Emerging-market peer with similar marketplace ethos but different geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• ETCP: Chinese smart-parking platform operating an asset-light parking network across major Chinese cities. Direct marketplace competitor to AirParking in shared parking inventory and on-demand booking.
• SpotHero: North-American marketplace connecting drivers with reservable parking inventory — comparable three-sided model (drivers, operators, partner lots) and online booking UX, useful international benchmark.
• Tingjiandan (停简单): Chinese mobile parking platform offering parking search, reservation, and payment. Direct Chinese-market competitor to AirParking's smart-parking and shared-parking value proposition.
• JustPark: UK peer-to-peer parking marketplace letting private driveway and lot owners rent spaces to drivers. Closest international analog to AirParking's three-sided property-owner / driver / management structure.
• ParkWhiz: US parking reservation platform aggregating inventory from operators and venues. Comparable transaction-fee marketplace model and integration with venue/property operators.

Broad incumbents

• ParkMobile: Established US-based mobile parking payments and reservations platform with broad operator integration. Larger incumbent offering overlapping capabilities across parking access, payments, and reservations.
• EasyPark: European parking app with broad urban operator integration across multiple countries. Incumbent in the same digital parking management category with comparable mobile-first UX.
• Ping An Smart Parking (平安智慧停车): Smart-parking initiatives operated within Ping An's broader fintech and smart-city portfolio — adjacent financial-services incumbent with parking-related capabilities integrated into a much wider platform.

Others

• 滴滴出行 (DiDi) — Mobility Platform: Dominant Chinese ride-hailing and mobility platform that overlaps on drivers seeking urban parking. Ecosystem participant in Chinese urban mobility rather than direct parking competitor, but represents the broader mobility landscape in which parking demand sits.
