Czech landowners earn passive income from parcel lockers

Landowners in the Czech Republic are increasingly replacing sections of their fences with parcel delivery boxes to generate passive income. With approximately 18,000 lockers currently in the country, logistics companies and e-commerce providers are actively seeking new locations to expand their networks.

Rental compensation varies based on location, accessibility, and estimated parcel volume. In major cities or high-traffic areas, owners can earn significant amounts. For instance, a spokesperson for Zásilkovna noted that owners of average-sized Z-BOX units typically receive tens of thousands of Czech koruna annually, with 20,000 CZK being a reachable figure. Other providers, such as PPL, generally pay monthly rent in the low thousands of koruna.

In some high-density areas like Prague, plots hosting multiple lockers can generate tens of thousands of koruna per month. While logistics companies handle the installation and maintenance, landowners must provide the necessary space, which can range from a few square meters to larger areas depending on the box type.
