How one truck and a simple idea sparked a community movement
A 1979 Ford F-250, passed down through family — not just a vehicle, but a legacy. Big, blue, and full of memories, it deserved better than sitting out in the elements. But when I went looking for a place to park it, I hit a wall. Every storage facility in town was full. No space for the truck. No real options.
After yet another "Sorry, we're full" at a local storage unit, I thought:
"What if someone nearby has a garage they're not using?"
That night, I started sketching out ideas for fliers. I imagined knocking on doors, connecting with neighbors, asking if they'd be willing to rent out a little space in their garage or carport. That tiny idea — a simple exchange of trust and need — sparked something much bigger.
Connecting people in communities through shared space
Homeowners earn money from unused garages and driveways
Drivers find local places to park and store the things they care about most
Garagely was born from that need. A way to connect people in communities through shared space. A platform where homeowners can earn extra income by renting out unused garages, carports, or driveways — and drivers can finally find secure, local places to park and store the things they care about most.
What started with one truck and a few too many "no vacancies" has become a movement to rethink how we use space — together.
Whether you have space to share or need a place to park, you're part of the Garagely community.
