The announcement follows Uber’s February acquisition of SpotHero, which gave the company access to 13,000 garages, lots and valet services across more than 400 cities.

Entry will use either a QR code or license-plate recognition, and reservations can be canceled free of charge up to their start time. Uber is offering Uber One members 10% back in credits on eligible parking reservations. The credits can be used for rides and Uber Eats orders.
