As the University of Nevada expands, parking on campus disappears. It’s a problem one grad student noticed and fixed with an app called ‘Instally’

"It is a combination of the words instant and ally, so it is kinda your instant parking ally," said Ryan Klekas, Creator of Instally.

The app is useful in situations in which a search for parking comes up empty.

"You hit find spaces and it will give you the closest possible space to your end destination or to the building or area you want to go to," said Klekas.

Instally doesn't just magically create spaces. It takes advantage of under-utilized parking spots, mainly driveways, in the neighborhoods surrounding the university.

"The app allows them to just book it instantly, know exactly where it is and just get on with their day," said Klekas.

Of course, for this all to work, owners of parking space owners have to be on board. Fortunately there's something in it for them: 70% of proceeds from the rental of the spot.

"You just have to be willing to try it, honestly. There is really no downside," said Klekas.

Driveway owners can rent out spots for select dates and times convenient to them. The price of each spot is determined by Instally. They're typically more expensive than parking on campus, but that is the nature of supply and demand.

"Along with the closest destination it will also give you a cheaper one if you want to spend less money but still want to reserve space that is within a reasonable distance to where you want to go," said Klekas.
