Give your guests parking they can trust — and stop answering the same question every week

The problem you already have

Every Edinburgh host, hotel and venue answers the same handful of questions about parking — every week, sometimes every day. When guests get it wrong, you hear about it in the messages, the reviews, and occasionally in a WhatsApp at 11pm about a white envelope under the windscreen wiper. The parking info you’ve pasted into your listing or welcome pack is probably out of date, missing the LEZ, and vague on the streets that matter. It’s costing you time and it’s costing your guests money.

Your guests are already searching for it

People type the name of the place they are staying into Google with the word “parking” every single month. These are UK searches for some of Edinburgh’s hotels and venues (Ubersuggest, October 2026):

Most of those people land on a booking site, a council page, or nothing useful — and then message you. A parking page with your name on it, linked from your confirmation email, answers the question before it is asked.

Free for every host — use these today

Before we talk about the paid option: some of the most useful things on this site cost nothing, and you’re welcome to build them into your guest routine right now.

• The street checker — covers 2,600+ Edinburgh streets. Drop the link in your guidebook or pre-arrival message and guests can look up the exact rules for the street they’re staying on.
• The “got a ticket” hub — if a guest ever finds the white envelope under the wiper, send them here. It walks them through pay-or-appeal step by step, so it never has to become your problem at 9pm on a Friday.
• The community — guests with a specific street question can ask there and get an answer from other drivers or the officer, instead of messaging you at 10pm. Every post is labelled by verification status.

A parking blurb you can paste into your welcome pack

If that’s all you need, brilliant — use it with my blessing. The paid option below is for hosts who want the whole thing done for them, kept accurate, and branded to their property.

Want it done for you? Here’s what you get

A branded Parking for guests of [Your property] page, hosted here on Edinburgh Parking Guide — a link you can put in your welcome email, listing, printed pack, or QR card. Everything a driving guest needs to park safely and legally, in one place, kept current by the officer who wrote it. Take a look at a fully-built example first: see a sample page →

• Officer’s pick of the 2–3 nearest safe streets or car parks
• Exact zone, hours and price for each
• The trap street(s) to avoid — and why
• LEZ note if your property is in or near the low emission zone
• Evening & weekend free-parking windows
• Blue Badge & accessibility notes on request
• Printable QR card for welcome packs
• Direct link to my street checker and PCN help

Simple pricing, no subscription trap

Launch pricing while I take on the first properties. Multiple properties (short-let portfolios, hotel groups)? Ask about volume pricing.

What this is not

This is not a display ad, a sponsored blog post, or a “featured listing” that inflates your ranking. Edinburgh Parking Guide is an independent officer-written guide, and paid placements would break that. What you’re paying for is a useful, honest page for your guests — my time to research, write and maintain it — hosted on a domain they can trust because I don’t let anyone edit facts on it.
