Uber has launched a parking feature in its app. Users can now find, compare, and book parking spots without leaving Uber. The service is called Uber Parking. Uber announced it on Monday, November 9, months after buying parking platform SpotHero.

The service starts in 15 US cities. These are Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, Boston, Austin, Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Nashville, Philadelphia, San Diego, Seattle, and Washington, DC. Uber says more cities will follow.

Uber Adds Parking Bookings to Its App

There is a new parking icon on the Uber home screen. Tap it, pick your destination, and enter the date and time you need a spot. The app then shows nearby parking and prices on a map.

You can filter the results. Choose self-parking or valet, a garage, or an open lot. To book, you must add your car's make, model, and registration number. You can pay with any method saved in your Uber Wallet.

At the parking site, you either scan a QR code or let a camera read your number plate. If you need more time, you can extend the booking in the app. Uber One members get 10% back in credits on eligible parking bookings. They can use those credits on future rides and Uber Eats orders.

SpotHero Acquisition Expands Uber's Parking Network

Uber said in February 2026 that it would buy SpotHero. The deal gave Uber access to more than 13,000 garages, lots, and valet sites. These sit in over 400 cities across the US and Canada. SpotHero will keep running as its own app too.

The taxi app also has bigger plans. It wants to use some of these parking sites as waiting spots for robotaxis. A self-driving car could wait in a lot between trips instead of circling the streets. That could cut costs and ease traffic.

Uber Looks Beyond Ride-Hailing

For now, Uber Parking gives drivers one more reason to open the app. Finding a spot is often a pain, and Uber wants to make it simple. If the launch goes well, expect it to reach more cities soon.
