Uber has launched Uber Parking, a new feature allowing users to find, compare, and reserve parking spaces directly within the mobile application.
The rollout builds on Uber’s acquisition of SpotHero, integrating a network of more than 13,000 garages, lots, and valets across 400 cities throughout the United States and Canada onto the platform.
To use the service, users tap the new “Parking” icon on the Uber home screen, enter their destination, and select the required date and time. Drivers can then explore available options on an interactive map displaying upfront pricing for nearby lots and garages. The platform allows users to filter choices by type, including self-parking versus valet, garages versus surface lots, and specific amenities such as on-site staff.
To complete a booking, customers must provide vehicle information including the make, model, and license plate number. Payment is handled through the chosen payment method in the Uber Wallet, functioning similarly to booking a ride.
Once a booking is finalized, users can access a digital “parking pass” inside the mobile application. Entry and exit depend on the specific lot, requiring either the scanning of a unique QR code or the use of license plate recognition. If a driver needs to stay longer, the reservation can be extended directly through the app.
As an additional incentive, Uber One members are eligible to earn 10% back in Uber One credits on completed parking reservations. These earned credits can subsequently be applied toward future Uber rides and Uber Eats orders.
