Uber Technologies launched an in-app parking reservation service on November 9, extending its platform beyond rides, deliveries and other travel services. TechCrunch reported that the service initially covers 15 U.S. cities and follows Uber's acquisition of parking app SpotHero.

New parking layer for commuters

Users can enter a destination, choose a date and time, compare garages, surface lots and valet options on an interactive map, and pay through the Uber wallet. Entry can use a QR code or license-plate recognition, while bookings can be canceled before the start time.

Uber is initially targeting commuters who drive themselves. The company has also said parking locations could serve as staging and waiting areas for autonomous vehicles, potentially helping partner fleets reduce empty travel between trips.

SpotHero expands platform reach

The SpotHero deal gives Uber access to more than 13,000 garages, lots and valet services across over 400 cities in North America. SpotHero continues to operate as a separate app while Uber brings its inventory into the main platform.

Uber One members can earn 10% back in credits on eligible parking reservations, redeemable for rides and Uber Eats orders. For investors, the launch adds another transaction category and strengthens Uber's effort to keep commuters engaged across several services, although the immediate financial contribution of parking remains unclear.
