## Create a parking space booking

To book a parking space, users go to **Locations** > **Parking** and select the following details:

</Frame>

To create a parking booking, users choose the following details:

* **Parking space** - what they want to book.
* **Date** — the necessary booking date.
* **Time** — the desired time slot (if parking is available for hourly booking).

<Info>
  Users and administrators can book any available current or future slot, but only administrators can log past bookings through the admin web portal.
</Info>

* **Repeat** — available only if the parking space is completely free. Choose one of the suggested recurrence patterns or select **Custom** to set your own recurrence pattern.
* **End repeat** — choose:
  * **On date** — to set a specific final booking date, or
  * **Never** — to set an open-ended recurrence.
  * For **Custom** recurrences, users can also choose **After number of occurrences** to schedule a specific number of recurring bookings.

<Info>
  Users can create recurring bookings only for completely free parking spaces. If the parking space booking is paid, administrators can create a [recurring booking](/docs/resource-management/resources/bookings#create-a-recurring-booking) for the customer and charge them separately.
</Info>

<Tip>
  You can set up parking for hourly or full-day booking by [configuring Min time, Max time, and Availability increment.](/docs/resource-management#equipment)
</Tip>

In the booking form, users choose:

* **Booker** — user for whom the booking should be made. This feature is exclusive to administrators and [company managers](/docs/customer-management/companies/members-and-managers), who have the authority to create bookings on behalf of [company members](/docs/customer-management/companies/members-and-managers) when needed.

<Info>
  Company managers can make parking bookings for other company members either with company credits, or a company invoice.
</Info>

<Info>
  When you book for another user, you choose whether to notify them about the booking.
</Info>

* **Memo** — a private note visible only to the user and administrators.
* **Payment** — [Understand payment methods](/docs/billing/payments/payment-methods). The total price for a booking is calculated based on the [price tiers](/docs/resource-management/set-up-pricing) added for this parking lot.
* **Legal business name, Address,** and **Tax ID.** These fields appear depending on the [**Require billing details** setting.](/docs/customer-management/billing-details)

On the member mobile app, the **Add to calendar** button opens the default calendar on the user's device.

<Info>
  Users can book only one parking spot at a time.
</Info>

<Tip>
  If you offer long-term rentals (weekly, monthly, etc.) of this parking lot, you can [link the relevant plans](/docs/billing/plans/immediate-sign-ups) to subscribe directly to it or [assign](/docs/resource-management/rentals/assignments) the parking lot to individual members or companies.
</Tip>
