Unfortunately, your booking request was not responded to before the start date and time. You may find other parking spaces on the KERB app and make another booking request.

This means that the parking space may not be available on the date/s you booked. You may check your KERB app messages to see if the space owner left a message for you.

Some car parks on KERB use license plate recognition cameras. This allows you to enter and exit without touching your phone. It also allows the space owner to monitor their car park. 

Sometimes you can’t help but run late – however, if you think you are going to be late to move your car, you must try and extend your booking in advance. This is critical because another driver may have secured the spot and be waiting to park, or the space owner may be planning on returning home. 

If you overstay, the driver or the space owner may ‘Report an Incident,’ and you may be charged an extra fee.

Some monthly parking spaces may instantly be available for booking, while others may require pre-approval from the space owner. 

If you booked a spot that requires the owner’s approval, the owner would have 24-48 hours to accept your booking request. Once accepted, you will be charged for the first month of the subscription or the entire booking duration if it is daily parking. 

The instant booking allows parkers to book and drive into your space ‘right now.’ It automatically approves all booking requests. You should only enable instant booking if you can support parkers driving into the space immediately without contacting you.

You can find more parking locations on the KERB app all over the city. Just go to Find a space and take a look at the map. To list your space – and make money.

Adding your payment details lets, you quickly pay and enter/exit the car park—the payment provider stores all KERB payment data (e.g., Stripe or GrabPay). KERB does not know your payment details, making it a very safe way to pay.

Yes, all drivers automatically receive a receipt/invoice sent by KERB to registered email addresses.

Space Owners

All KERB users have been verified; all booking requests are pre-authorized and accepted automatically. However, you have the option to decline and or instantly approve booking requests. Please look at the FAQ ‘What’s the difference between an instant booking and one that requires pre-approval?

Some monthly parking spaces may instantly be available for booking, while others may require pre-approval from the space owner. 

Pre-approval bookings, you have 24-48 hours to accept booking requests. Once approved, the driver will be charged for the first month of the subscription or the entire booking duration if it is daily parking. However, if you missed approving the booking request, it will expire, and the driver will need to make another booking request.

The instant booking allows parkers to book and drive into your space ‘right now.’ It automatically approves all booking requests. You should only enable instant booking if you can support parkers driving into the space immediately without contacting you.

Yes. Please note, however, that by leasing a parking space on KERB, you agree to the Terms of Service. Specifically, you acknowledge that you are legally entitled to lease any parking space(s) that you list on the KERB app or website. You can only lease parking spaces that you are legally allowed to lease.

KERB automatically takes payment and manages your payout. We automatically transfer parking fees (minus KERB’s transaction fee) to your bank account or chosen eWallet, within (2) business days of a booking’s start date. 

Please consider the location, the state of your parking space, and the pricing rate in your area and come up with a competitive price. We can provide recommendations on optimizing the pricing of your parking space; please email us at justask@kerb.works.

If your space is available for casual booking, you can just set a price for Daily or Hourly. You may set it to Weekly or Monthly subscriptions if you want long-term. 

There is no cost to list your private parking space or a whole car park on KERB.

No. Your acceptance of KERB’s Terms of Service and, by extension, your usage of KERB’s parking software system, indemnifies KERB against any damage to a property, parking space or nearby vehicle, while a user is parked in a space they rented through the KERB platform. We strongly advise you to have property or vehicle insurance before you start using the KERB app.

When a parker books a space on KERB, provided the booking is approved, the parker is automatically sent any ‘Special Instructions’ you provided when you listed your parking space. These ‘Special Instructions’ (which might include details such as a building access code, a hiding place for a key, or a password to give to a security guard) are only visible to the person who has booked your parking space. They are not visible to the general public.

General

Yes. You can deactivate your account at any time. However, if you have an active booking on a parking space you have listed on KERB, you will not be able to deactivate your account until that booking is finished. If you cancel a booking prematurely, the relevant cancellation fees – as stated in KERB’s Terms of Service – will apply.

KERB is localized for 600 cities around the world, which means that most big cities are listed on KERB. If your city is not listed on KERB, you can still use KERB, but you won’t see the photos of your specific city. Instead, you will see photos of the nearest biggest city in your country.

Yes, you can. Simply send an email to noSMS@kerb.works. Note, however, that notifications are an important part of using the KERB service. KERB takes no responsibility for messages and notifications you did not receive, if you have switched off SMS/text notifications.

Access Solutions

Yes, KERB can be configured to close a gate, for example via a timer. We assume there is a close loop ground sensor or a timer that shuts the gate by default, more configuration is required to have KERB close the gate.

If the gate controller has a separate close gate connection point please wire it to the secondary relay and advise us to pulse the secondary relay to close the gate at the end of the timer. If the gate uses the same contact point for open and close please advise us to pulse the primary relay again when the timer runs out.

Please specify an appropriate timer length for the car park and gate you’re installing KERB Access Solutions to at support@kerb.works or your gate install contact so that we can configure the box for this scenario.

Yes, some gates require a relay pulse of a specific length to trigger their open function. Please contact support@kerb.works or your gate install contact to configure a custom pulse length for your box.

KERB allows drivers to add several vehicle registration numbers to their KERB profile. A driver simply selects the vehicle they are driving in the ‘My KERB’ section of the app.

KERB can add time restrictions to the entry gates to stop drivers entering consecutively using the KERB “Open Gate” button. All gate opens are logged and traceable back to individual drivers to allow space owners to pursue their preferred enforcement path. Drivers who try to abuse the system can be removed from KERB.

Yes, KERB can easily handle a high volume of bookings and KERB continues to make hardware and software optimisations to make the drive-in experience faster and more seamless than other forms of access control. If your car park has a high volume, we suggest using KERB’s AI Camera Solution!

This rarely happens, as most people have their phone with them most of the time. If a driver got stuck at a gate because their phone had no battery, they could enter/exit your car park via the ‘Help’ button. An on-site security guard, car park attendant or remote control centre could open the gate remotely for the parker.

Car park staff will need to manually open the gate, as they would with your existing car park systems.
