Covering the end of the street-sweeping ticket?

Curbswap physically moves customers’ parked cars before street sweeping and other parking restrictions hit — vetted drivers, GPS + photo proof, and the SwapBox™ smart lockbox for hands-off key access. Launching in Los Angeles. We’d love to help with your story.

What we can offer.

The LA parking problem

Los Angeles issues millions of parking citations a year — street sweeping alone runs on a fixed weekly schedule that hits the same blocks, and the same drivers, over and over.

Founder interviews

The founding team is available for interviews, podcasts, and background conversations about the product, the market, and the launch.

Photos & b-roll

Brand assets, product photography of the SwapBox™, and app footage — plus real Curbswaps in Los Angeles once we’re live in your coverage window.

A first: hands-off Curbswaps

The patent-pending SwapBox™ gives a vetted driver one-time, GPS-gated key access — every open logged. Happy to demo how it works.

Try the app yourself

A full working demo of the app — guided tours included — with no account, subscription, or SwapBox™ required. Ask in the form below and we’ll send you a demo code.

Beyond the Curbswaps: free sweep alerts

Curbswap is free to use as a street-sweeping lookup + alarm: a live parking-rules map of LA’s sweep zones, smart alerts when your parked block is about to be swept, and CurbScout to decode the signs.

The hardware

The SwapBox™ — the part your readers will ask about.

A patent-pending smart lockbox that mounts on the customer’s car and holds a spare key. It’s how a mover gets in without the owner being there — and the security model is the story.

One-time access

The driver’s access is minted per Curbswap, server-side. No shared PINs, nothing for a customer to set or remember.

GPS-gated

It only works while the driver is on the job and physically at the car — verified server-side, then the app unlocks the box.

Every open logged

Each access event is recorded with time, driver, and distance from the vehicle. A full audit trail per Curbswap.

$45 early access

A one-time device charge (limited-time early-access price; regular $75), separate from the subscription.

About Curbswap.

Curbswap is a subscription service that physically relocates customers’ parked cars before street sweeping and other parking restrictions hit, then returns them to a legal spot nearby — documented with timestamped photos and GPS. A vetted, background-checked driver handles every Curbswap; the Curbswap SwapBox™, a patent-pending smart lockbox, gives drivers hands-off, one-time key access. Curbswap is launching in Los Angeles, the hardest parking market in the country, and expanding neighborhood by neighborhood.
