In cities like Ghent, Bruges and Ostend, finding a parking spot can be stressful. Too few spaces, traffic pressure and high parking fees make it a daily hassle. Fortunately, several smart solutions now make parking simpler — for both drivers and property owners.
SparkSpot offers a digital platform that combines the most efficient parking methods, from peer-to-peer rentals to real-time parking data and smart technology integration.
Through SparkSpot, drivers can rent private parking spaces from individuals or businesses. This creates a flexible network of available parking options across Flanders.
With SparkSpot, you can easily search for available spaces by location, price and EV charging availability. Booking and payment are handled entirely online, ensuring your spot is ready when you arrive.
Homeowners or companies with unused driveways or garages can rent them out flexibly. SparkSpot provides visibility, support and secure payment processing.
By optimising private space use, street congestion decreases, leading to less driving, fewer emissions and smoother city mobility.
Real-time parking apps show live availability of parking spots. With features such as reservations, contactless payment and automatic reminders, they help drivers save both time and money.
In busy city centres like Ghent or Bruges, these apps are invaluable for stress-free parking.
For those who park regularly in the same city, shared or subscription-based parking offers predictability and peace of mind. Commuters and residents pay a fixed monthly fee and enjoy guaranteed access to parking.
Smart city technology makes parking more efficient and environmentally friendly. Sensors, digital payments and dynamic pricing models reduce traffic pressure and pollution in urban areas.
SparkSpot integrates these technologies into one intuitive platform for both drivers and hosts.
In Ghent, parking near the city centre or the Sint-Pieters station can be tricky. With SparkSpot, you can easily find private parking in Ledeberg, Sint-Amandsberg or near Dok-Noord — often with EV charging included.
Residents with a private garage or driveway in areas like Gentbrugge can rent it out effortlessly through SparkSpot to commuters or visitors.
Bruges attracts many visitors, creating high parking demand. With SparkSpot, you can book a parking space in nearby neighbourhoods such as Sint-Andries or Kristus-Koning ahead of time, avoiding stress and delays.
Local residents can also rent out their unused garages or driveways to visitors, especially during weekends and tourist seasons.
As a coastal hotspot, Ostend faces seasonal parking pressure. SparkSpot connects drivers with available private spaces near the beach, train station or Mariakerke. Locals can rent out their garages or driveways to visitors, especially in summer.
Knokke’s lively centre and seaside zones often lack parking availability. Through SparkSpot, you can find or rent private spaces in Duinbergen or Het Zoute — ideal for weekend visitors or holiday stays.
In Blankenberge, finding parking can be difficult during busy tourist months. SparkSpot offers reservable private spaces near the beach, marina and station, helping visitors start their day by the sea without stress.
Whether you’re parking in Ghent, Bruges, Ostend, Knokke or Blankenberge, smart parking solutions make a real difference. Combining peer-to-peer rentals, live parking data and shared subscriptions creates a more efficient and eco-friendly system.
SparkSpot brings all these innovations together on one platform — connecting drivers and space owners for easier, greener parking across Flanders.
