Uber Technologies has agreed to acquire SpotHero, which will enable drivers using the Uber app to reserve parking.
SpotHero launched in 2011 and has grown into an industry-leading parking reservation service used by millions of drivers, listing parking at more than 13,000 garages, lots and valets across more than 400 cities in the U.S. and Canada.
The ride hailing, grocery and fast food app will now also offer a native, in-app parking reservation experience powered by SpotHero, with an initial focus on commuter parking and on parking at events, venues and airports; parking operators.
“We’ve built Uber around giving people more ways to get around without needing a car. But for the moments when people do choose to drive, SpotHero on the Uber app will make the experience easier than ever, and bring more people into the Uber ecosystem,” said Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.
At the same time, SpotHero will gain access to Uber’s consumer base and network of vehicle charging and fleet partners.
“We’ve spent 15 years building SpotHero into the most trusted, high-performing digital parking network in North America. Joining forces with Uber will allow us to bring that experience to millions more drivers and make parking a natural part of the Uber platform,” said Mark Lawrence, CEO of SpotHero.
The acquisition, subject to receipt of regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the first half of 2026, the companies said.
