PARKLINQ's Origin

From Parking Frustration to Digital Parking Broker

In 2016, Tyler Saenz started PARKLINQ in Honolulu after a frustrating parking experience. Tyler, who had bought a large SUV to feel safe while driving after a spinal injury from a previous vehicle accident, discovered that most parking garages in Hawaii were too small to fit his vehicle, which led to thousands of dollars in parking fines and tows.

Tyler's parking struggles continued when his monthly parking pass in Waikiki expired and the pay machine was broken. He spent over 45 minutes circling around without finding a parking spot, eventually leading to him parking in a driveway and leaving a note with his phone number.

To his surprise, a coworker called him to move the truck an hour later. After moving the vehicle, Tyler asked if he could park in the driveway as a monthly parking spot since the coworker walked to work every day. Although the coworker initially declined, Tyler eventually convinced him to agree by offering to pay him $80.

Tyler's experience motivated him to create PARKLINQ, a digital parking broker that helps users find, reserve, and pay for parking spots in Hawaii without the hassle of circling around for hours or leaving notes in driveways.
