Uber launched parking reservations in 15 U.S. cities on November 9, letting users find and book garages, lots, and valet services through its app. The service covers Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York City, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., with plans to expand nationally.
The feature follows Uber's February acquisition of SpotHero, which operates more than 13,000 parking facilities across over 400 U.S. and Canadian cities. Uber's parking page currently lists 7,000 facilities.
Users enter their destination and parking times in the app, compare prices on a map, and filter by self-parking or valet, garage or surface lot, and amenities like on-site staff. They enter vehicle details and license plate number, pay through Uber Wallet, and receive entry instructions on the parking pass.
Uber One members earn 10% in credits on eligible parking reservations, including parking charges, taxes, and fees. Credits typically arrive within 24 hours. Uber One costs $9.99 monthly or $96 annually. Amex Platinum cardholders receive up to $120 in annual statement credits toward Uber One membership fees.
Many participating locations offer rates below their drive-up prices, according to Uber. However, reservations do not guarantee a specific parking space. If a lot is full upon arrival, users are directed to the parking pass help option. Business profiles are not supported, and existing SpotHero and Uber accounts cannot be linked.
Uber plans to explore using parking locations to stage autonomous vehicles between trips, following its ending Waymo partnership.
