SpotHero

You can exit and re-enter over the course of your reservation when parking at any of SpotHero's unattended, ungated surface lots. However, gated lots and covered garages do not allow in and out priviledges over the course of a reservation; i.e. each reservation corresponds to one entry to the facility and one exit from the facility, after which your reservation has effectively ended.

You may enter at any time after the start time listed on your SpotHero reservation; you may depart at any time prior to the end time listed on your reservation. For example, if your reservation goes from 8AM to 8PM, you can enter and leave anytime between 8AM and 8PM.

The only thing you CANNOT do is park outside of the time you've reserved. 

In the event you overstay your reservation, you will be subject to paying the posted rates at the parking location. You can also go to SpotHero and purchase another reservation to give you some more time. Just show that new purchase (along with your previous ones to the garage attendant).

Yes! We guarantee your spot will be available - it's your spot! While SpotHero does not physically hold a certain spot open for each reservation at a location, our parking partners provide inventory information to prevent overbooking. In an extremely rare ocassion there would not be a spot available, you would dial the support line at 312-566-7768 & our heroes would direct you on what to do next.

Good luck! If you show up at the parking facility without a SpotHero reservation, you will be subject to paying the drive up rates which are set according to a different rate structure. Depending on the time and location at which you want to park, the posted and active non-SpotHero rate structures will often lead to your paying 2-3x as much as the SpotHero price for equivalent parking.

We have multiple ungated, surface lot locations throughout the city that allow for oversized vehicle parking. You can check the locations description & picture to verify, however; if you're still unsure you can contact our support department to confirm. 

That's an easy one! Just purchase multiple reservations at the same spot location and you're good to go!

No, the rate that you will see when you have put in all your dates & times is the rate you will pay for that ENTIRE period of time. 

These are privileges that allow you to come and go as you please from your parking spot. You are only able to use the in & out abilities in unattended surface lots. Gated lots & garages do not allow these privileges. Each locations description will confirm which of the three it is. 

An unattended surface lot is an uncovered, non-gated location that doesn't have an attendant nor is it monitored. 

The rate you purchased with SpotHero will be your month to month rate going forward.  

Some locations may require a fee, however; that will all be detailed in the description of the location before you purchase. Please make sure to read the description before finalizing your payment. 

No, just once for the initial month of parking payable through SpotHero. For the second month and on, you must set up recurring billing through an account with the parking company that owns the location you're parking at. During the hand-off process (after the 1st month going into your second month) the parking company will correspond with you and us to make sure you're getting set up correctly. 

Yes. You would just need to email us at support@spothero.com to notify us that you are only parking for one month. This is to make sure you do not get set up for repeat billing.

Most locations are set up with the billing cycle to be on the 1st and the 15th of every month.

There is a 2-day leeway window available on either side of those dates. The closer you choose a start date toward the 1st or the 15th, the more likely you will be to getting a correct billing cycle.

If your start date is the 15th of the month, your first bill through the parking operator could be for a month and a half. The 1.5 month bill will allow you to park for 1.5 months and allows the parking operator to get you on a 1st of the month billing cycle. In all cases your rate will stay the same. Going forward your bill will be for just one month, if this is the case.

Yes. We cap the number of spots sold at each location. While you will not have a specific marked or reserved space, there will always be a space for you to park.

You will contact the parking company that owns the location you're parking at. When you receive your confirmation email, a parking agreement document/application will be attached and will have the company's name & contact information on there so you will know who & how to reach them.
