Safe Parking for Women in India — A Practical Guide | Parksy
Parking safety is a daily concern for women drivers, riders, and passengers in India. Most of the risk isn't in transit — it's in the gap between car and destination, in badly-lit lots with no surveillance. Parksy's filter lets you find spots that meet a defined safety bar: gated access, CCTV, security guard, and 24/7 lighting. We aggregate ratings too, so women drivers can see what other women have said about a specific lot.
Why this is hard in India
- No national database of "women-safe" parking exists in India.
- Most "covered" parking is dimly lit and has broken CCTV, defeating the purpose.
- 24/7 access is often a checkbox, but the security guard is asleep after midnight.
- Solo women drivers regularly avoid certain lots but have nowhere to share the warning.

Rate and review
After you park, leave a rating. Your review helps the next woman driver decide.
List safe spots
If you operate a well-run lot, list it. Tag it with the security features you actually provide. The next woman driver will thank you.

FAQ
What makes a parking lot safe for women?
Four key factors: gated access, CCTV, on-site security guard, and 24/7 lighting. Parksy lets you filter for all four.
Is there a verified "women-safe parking" list in India?
Not officially. Parksy is the first crowdsourced attempt at a national map with safety-bar filters.
Can I report a lot that claims to be safe but isn't?
Yes. After parking, leave a rating. Three or more low-safety ratings auto-hide the listing from the women-safety filter.
Does Parksy verify CCTV claims?
We rely on community reports and outlier detection. We encourage women drivers to leave ratings — that's how the data stays honest.
