Scots woman pays for holiday in Spain after renting out driveway
03.12.2022 - 15:07 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A thrifty Scot paid for a holiday to Spain with her husband by renting out her driveway to motorists needing a parking space.
Ruth Lewis, 41, from the Bonnington area of Edinburgh, was looking for ways to earn some extra cash.
The nutritional and massage therapist realised her driveway, which she never used, was a potential source of revenue.
Ruth and husband Ross saw people using the website, Your Parking Space, and decided to add their drive for rent.
She told Edinburgh Live : “It was really straightforward. They do everything and when someone books, you get a message with their details.”
The couple charged a £5 a day at first, wanting to offer an affordable price to visitors, then increased the charge to £9 after seeing the price of other spaces in the area.
Ruth said the website also adds a fee.
They have been renting out the driveway since 2018.
Last year Ruth banked a £1,500 from renting out the space, and the pair jetted off to Malaga earlier this year.
Ruth said they had only run into two issues with the scheme over the years.
