Uber Launches Parking Reservations in 15 U.S. Cities
Uber Technologies Inc. introduced an in-app parking reservation service to attract commuters and support future autonomous vehicle operations.
Uber Technologies Inc. launched Uber Parking on November 9, 2026, enabling users to find, reserve, and pay for valet services, lots, and garages through its app. The feature utilizes a network of 13,000 facilities across more than 400 cities, following the company's acquisition of SpotHero in February 2026.
The service is initially available in 15 U.S. cities, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. To drive loyalty among commuters, Uber integrated the feature with its Uber One membership program, which provides subscribers 10% back in credits on eligible reservations.
Beyond consumer convenience, Uber plans to use these facilities as staging and waiting areas for autonomous vehicle partners. This operational strategy is designed to minimize urban congestion and reduce deadheading, the practice of robotaxis traveling without passengers. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi stated the expansion is part of a broader effort to increase the app's relevance to commuters, who represent one of the company's largest customer categories.
