The parking problem

Berkeley parking shouldn't be this hard.

Twenty minutes of circling. Permit-only blocks. $80 street-sweeping tickets. Gameday gridlock. Meanwhile, empty driveways sit unused all over town.

Endless circling

Average 15-20 minutes hunting for a spot near campus and Downtown.

Costly tickets

Street cleaning, permits, and meters add up fast, and they sting.

Wasted space

Thousands of private driveways and spots sit empty next door.

Why we're building this

Made by Berkeley locals.

"We got tired of circling for parking and racking up tickets while empty driveways sat all around us. Pakere connects drivers with the spots already in their neighborhood. We're opening access a few areas at a time, so join early and help shape it."

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is my car safe?

Spots come from verified local hosts, you get exact arrival instructions and an in-app pass, and you can report any issue right from your booking.

How do I get the exact address?

It unlocks in the app the moment you book and pay. Keeping the precise location private until then protects hosts and keeps spots from being used without booking.

When does Pakere launch?

We're onboarding Berkeley first. Join early access and you'll be first in line when spots open in your area.

How much can hosts earn?

It depends on location, price, and availability. Spots near campus, Downtown, and the stadium tend to earn the most, especially on event days.

Is it only Berkeley?

We're starting in Berkeley to get it right, then expanding from there. Tell us where you'd want it next in the application form.

How do I track my early-access request?
