Uber said on November 9, 2026 that it launched a service letting customers reserve and pay for parking in major US cities, about nine months after the ride-hailing company acquired parking app SpotHero. The acquisition, announced in February, gives Uber access to a network of 13,000 garages, lots and valet services across more than 400 cities, the company said.
Uber said the initial focus is commuters driving their own vehicles, with a launch in 15 US cities: Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York City, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC. The company also said it plans to use the parking spots as staging and waiting locations for the autonomous vehicle companies it has partnered with, to help reduce congestion and deadheading, the miles a vehicle travels without a paying passenger or cargo on board.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said on the company's third-quarter earnings call that commute is one of Uber's largest categories. "Commute is one of our largest categories," he said, adding that offering commuters a ride to work, a pass to avoid surge pricing and parking when they want to drive builds out the company's services for commuters.
Uber said Uber One members can earn 10% back in credits on eligible parking reservations, usable for rides and Uber Eats orders. The membership program had more than 55 million members as of September 30, the company said. Uber Parking is accessible on the app's homescreen; users enter a destination and date, review options on a map, filter by self-parking, valet, garages or surface lots, and see pricing upfront. Entry is by QR code or license plate recognition, and Uber said bookings can be canceled free until the start time.
