This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for predicting the availability of parking spots. In one exemplary embodiment, a driver of a first vehicle that is parked in a parking spot inputs into a device such as a smartphone, an estimated time of occupancy of the parking spot. This information is transmitted by the device to a server. A driver of a second vehicle may transmit to the server a request for a vacant parking spot. The server uses information such as the estimated time of occupancy to determine an expected wait time for the second vehicle to obtain the parking spot occupied by the first vehicle. The expected wait time is transmitted by the server to the driver of the second vehicle who can then drive to the parking spot when vacated. The server may provide driving directions to the driver to reach the vacated parking spot.
