There’s a new trend starting in UK towns and cities, and although it’s always existed, it’s really started to grow in popularity during the current recession

With the effects of the worldwide recession starting to bite deeply, forcing people to save money where they can has helped this new social trend grow in popularity. Home owners living close to major towns and cities are renting their front drives out to commuters to raise badly needed cash and, at the same time, help commuters save money by charging fees that are often a lot less than the main private or council car parks.

But if you live close to a major public attraction, an airport or football ground for example, your profits can be substantial, especially if you can park up two or more cars safely. And it’s growing faster and the recession deepens.

UK householders are advertising their drive space in newsagents windows, newspapers and specialist web sites. Advertising on specialist web sites also gives you free advantages such as downloadable contracts, mediation services and online booking spaces.

This really is an easy to start, easy money maker with the true prospect of residue or recurring income, and you can start this income stream easily by simply advertising your free spaces in the local or regional newspapers serving your area.
