Uber Launches In‑App Parking in 15 U.S. Cities

Folding SpotHero’s 13,000‑site network into the Uber app aims to lock in commuters as it opens a pathway for future autonomous‑vehicle staging.

Overview

  • Uber launched Uber Parking inside its app on Monday, November 9, 2026, offering reservation and payment for garage, lot and valet spaces in 15 U.S. cities.
  • The feature shows upfront prices on an interactive map, lets drivers enter vehicle and license‑plate details, and grants access via QR code or license‑plate recognition.
  • The product uses inventory from Uber’s February acquisition of SpotHero, giving immediate access to about 13,000 sites and a planned roll‑out to SpotHero’s broader 400+ city footprint.
  • Uber One members earn 10% back in account credits on eligible bookings and Uber says the subscription service had more than 55 million members as of late September.
  • Uber says it plans to make the parking network available as staging and waiting locations for over 30 autonomous‑vehicle partners to cut empty driving miles and reduce street congestion.
