List Your Parking Lot. We Fill It With Pre-Paid Cars.

Portside Parking is the booking, payments, and marketing engine for cruise-port parking. You provide the spots and the shuttle; we bring the customers, take payment up front, and route pre-paid cars straight to your lot. No advertising spend, no booking software, no chasing payment - you just park the cars and collect your net.

Apply to join the Portside network

Tell us about your lot and upload your insurance and business license. Fields marked * are required. After we review and approve, we'll send your partner agreement to sign and give you portal access - you stay pending until then, and no cars are routed until you're approved and set your spots.

Your lot's operating rules

Every lot has different criteria. Tell us yours so we route the right guests to you and show them the correct rules, hours, and fees at checkout.

Insurance & licensing

Partners must carry garage-keepers and commercial general liability insurance and hold a valid business license. Upload what you have now; we'll confirm details during review.

Partner questions

How does partnering with Portside Parking work?

You list your lot and available spots; Portside markets it, takes the online booking, collects payment up front, and routes pre-paid cars to you automatically. You provide the parking and shuttle, keep an accurate check-in record, and receive your net (retail less the agreed commission) 15 days after each customer's cruise returns. There is no upfront or marketing cost to you.

What does it cost to join?

Nothing to apply or list. Portside earns an agreed commission on each booking it sends you; you keep the rest. Because we collect payment from the customer at booking, you are never chasing payment and never paying for advertising, SEO, or a booking platform yourself.

How are cars assigned to my lot?

Our proprietary routing system assigns each pre-paid customer to the closest partner lot at their port that has room for their full stay. When the closest lot fills for those dates, the next car cascades to the next-closest lot. You set your available spots in your portal, and we never oversell your capacity.

When and how do I get paid?

Portside collects the full amount from the customer at the time of booking and remits your net - your retail rate less the agreed commission - 15 days after the customer returns from their cruise. You can see every referred car and its payout status in your vendor portal.

Can I join if my lot is at a different port?

Yes. Portside is expanding to cruise ports beyond Port Canaveral. Enter your port on the application and we will onboard your lot for that market. The routing, payments, and portal work the same at every port, and your vendor portal shows every referred car and its payout status wherever your lot is.

What are my responsibilities as a partner lot?

Accept the cars we send at the published rate, run your shuttle, park vehicles safely away from hazards, carry commercial general and garage-keepers liability insurance naming Portside as additional insured, and log every arrival and departure through our check-in system. These terms are in the vendor agreement you sign when you apply.
