Uber launches in-app parking reservations via SpotHero acquisition
Uber has introduced Uber Parking, a feature letting users find, book and pay for garage and lot spaces directly in the app, using the network of over 13,000 facilities it gained through its acquisition of SpotHero. Users can filter by self-park or valet options, enter vehicle details, and access spots via QR code or license plate scan, with free cancellation until the reservation start time. The feature launches in 15 cities including New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, with plans to expand across SpotHero's roughly 400-city footprint.
