Parking space is scarce in Mumbai, and a dedicated monthly spot is valuable in most parts of the city. Fewer spaces are listed on TheParkingWorld here than in Kolkata or Bangalore, and asking rents tend to be higher.
This guide explains where spaces are listed, what they cost and what to check, especially in buildings with stack parking. The figures are calculated live from the listings and drivers' requests on this site.
Where the spaces are
Listings are spread across the western suburbs, such as Andheri, Juhu, Vile Parle, Bandra, Mahim and Goregaon, the central suburbs around Kurla and Bhandup, and further out in Mira Road and Thane. With only a few spaces in each area, it helps to post what you need, so that owners nearby can contact you.
Right now the areas with the most spaces listed are Mahim West Paradise Cinema (2), Sion Hospital (1), Sion Jain Society (1), Andheri East Near Station (1), Shere Punjab Andheri East (1) and Byculla Agripada Mumbai Centra (1).

Where drivers are looking
Drivers have posted 44 requests for parking in Mumbai, most often for Yashodhan Nagar, Sai Baba Complex, Goregaon East, Datta Mandir Road, Vakola, Jogeshwari East and Sawarkar Nagar. That is more requests than there are spaces listed (25).
Requests are spread thinly across many neighbourhoods, from Versova and Kandivali to Vakola and Kalina. If you are looking, posting your exact area and budget gives owners there a reason to get in touch.
What monthly parking costs
Owners in Mumbai currently ask between ₹2,000 and ₹20,000 a month. Half of them ask between ₹3,000 and ₹8,000; the median is ₹5,000. Drivers' posted budgets have a median of ₹2,500, below what most owners ask, so there is usually room to agree a rent in between.
Rents vary most with the locality and whether the space is inside a building compound, covered or open. A space you can drive out of at any time is worth more than a stack slot that needs an operator.
22 of the 25 listings are covered, 25 mention CCTV, 16 have a security guard and 4 offer EV charging, as described by their owners.
Things to know about parking in Mumbai
- Stack parking. Many buildings use mechanical or puzzle (stack) parking. Ask whether the space is a stack slot, whether you can take the car out at any hour, and who operates the system.
- Monsoon flooding. Rain is very heavy during the monsoon. For ground-level and basement spaces, ask whether the area floods and whether cars have been moved in past years.
- Society permission. Housing societies often have strict rules about outsiders using parking. Confirm the society agrees before you pay a deposit.
- Height and width. Basements and podium car parks can have low ceilings and tight ramps. Check the clearance if you drive an SUV.
Checklist before you rent
- See the spot before you pay. Visit at the time you will normally park and leave, and check how easy it is to get in and out, especially in a shared basement or a narrow lane.
- Measure against your car. Listings say "Any car" or "Small car". If you drive an SUV or a long sedan, check the width of the bay, pillars on either side and the height of any ramp or gate.
- Ask about access hours. Some buildings lock gates at night or restrict entry on certain days. Make sure the hours suit your work or travel.
- Check permission in apartment buildings. Many housing societies have rules about letting parking to non-residents. Ask the owner whether the society or association allows it, so you are not asked to leave later.
- Agree the terms in writing. Write down the monthly rent, any deposit, the notice period on both sides, and what happens if the space is unavailable. A simple signed agreement avoids most disputes.
- Pay the owner directly and keep receipts. On TheParkingWorld, rent and deposit are settled between you and the owner; TheParkingWorld does not collect rent or charge commission. Prefer traceable payments such as UPI or bank transfer.
- Think about the monsoon. For open plots and low-lying basements, ask whether water collects during heavy rain.
If you have a space to let
Because spaces are scarce, an owner in Mumbai with a spare spot can often find a tenant, but drivers compare rents carefully. Say clearly whether the space is a stack slot, covered or open, and inside a gated compound.
- Describe the space precisely. Covered or open, basement or stilt, which car sizes fit, and whether there is EV charging. Drivers filter on these details.
- Add clear photos. One photo of the bay and one of the entrance answer most questions before anyone calls you.
- Price against nearby listings. The figures on this page show what other owners in the city are asking. A rent in line with the area usually fills faster.
- Check your building's rules. If the space is in an apartment complex, confirm that the society or association allows renting it out.
- Keep the listing up to date. Mark it inactive once it is rented, so drivers are not left waiting for a reply.
