I earn an easy $250 per month from my space with very little effort. All I had to do was create my listing and the Oscar team does the rest. They’re fantastic!

I was torn between renting out my car spot and keeping it so mates can park there when they visit. Oscar has solved this dilemma for me. I’ve been very impressed by how it works and the team have been extremely helpful.

I have a car space that I wasn’t using and the very next day I had someone wanting to book it for a week, then the week after someone signed on for a whole year! Louise is so friendly and easy to work with and I now have a passive income from doing nothing!
