Uber now lets you reserve parking in its app. Uber's parking page says you can reserve a spot at one of 7,000 facilities ahead of time or right up until the last minute, all with your existing Uber account.
How It Works
Uber's page lists four steps:
- Search: enter where you're headed, or browse the map to see parking nearby.
- Compare: see nearby rates and your parking price before you book.
- Reserve: enter the date, time and your vehicle details, then check out.
- Park: your parking pass is ready in the app and can be added to your digital wallet. You scan it at the gate or drive in with license plate recognition.
Rates and Changes
Uber says it's able to offer discounts on the drive-up rates at many of its partner locations. The rate you see in the feature isn't guaranteed without a reservation.
You can edit or cancel an upcoming reservation up to the time it begins, and you can extend most active reservations if space is available. Each facility sets its own cancellation policy, shown before you confirm. Where the policy allows, you can cancel until the minute before the reservation begins and get a full refund. Once a reservation has started, it can't be canceled or refunded.
In-and-out privileges depend on the location. Uber says most partner facilities don't allow multiple entries during one reservation, and the information section shows whether yours does.
Uber One Credits
