Overview
If you have a reserved permit, you can share your space with other parkers on days you don't need it. This frees the space up for someone else to book, and helps your organisation make better use of its parking.
Note: Permit sharing is not available at all parking facilities.

Unshare a day
If your plans change and you need your space back, tap a green date tile to turn it white again — the day is no longer shared.
For days more than 3 days away, tap the calendar icon, deselect the green tiles, and tap Save.
To remove a recurring sharing schedule, see Setting your recurrent permit sharing.
When you can't unshare
There are two situations where Parkable won't let you unshare a day:
Someone has a confirmed booking that can't be moved — if another parker has a confirmed booking on your space for that day and there's no alternative space available, you won't be able to unshare that day
Someone has an active session at a 24/7 parking facility — Parkable guarantees the active parker at least 24 hours' notice before their space becomes unavailable. While someone is parked in your space, you can't unshare today or the following day. Once their session ends, the following day becomes available to unshare again
Note: This means you may see an error when trying to unshare tomorrow, even though the active session is for today. This is expected — try again once the current session ends.
FAQs
Why can't I unshare tomorrow when the session is today?
At parking facilities open 24 hours, Parkable must give the active parker at least 24 hours' notice before the space becomes unavailable. While someone is parked in your space, both today and the following day are blocked from being unshared. Once their session ends, you can unshare the following day.
What if I need my space back urgently?
If you can't unshare because of an active session, you'll need to wait until the session ends. If there's a confirmed booking that can't be moved, contact your parking administrator for help.
