Uber launches in-app parking reservations in 15 US cities
Uber has launched a parking reservation feature in its app for drivers who want to book garage or lot spaces ahead of time.
The service, called Uber Parking, uses SpotHero’s network of more than 13,000 facilities in over 400 cities, following Uber’s acquisition of the company.
Drivers can compare prices and arrival times, choose options such as valet or self-park, and enter some lots with a QR code or a license-plate scan.
The service is starting in 15 US cities, including Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles and Seattle, with plans to expand across SpotHero’s existing network.
Uber One subscribers can earn 10 percent back as account credits on parking reservations, which can be used for rides or Uber Eats deliveries.
Uber also plans to use parking sites for robotaxis, giving driverless vehicles places to wait off the street when demand is low.
