Proof Required?
If you used SpotHero to find and book parking in California, you may be entitled to compensation from a $975,000 class action settlement. The lawsuit accused SpotHero of using "drip pricing" — a practice where a low price is shown on the map view, but additional fees are added by the time you reach checkout. California law requires that advertised prices be honest and upfront, and this settlement resolves those claims without SpotHero admitting any wrongdoing. The good news is that eligible users may automatically receive a credit voucher without having to do anything at all. But if you'd prefer cash instead, you'll need to submit a claim before the August 25, 2026 deadline. Either way, it's worth checking whether you qualify so you don't leave money on the table.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You used SpotHero to search for or book parking in California
  • You viewed parking prices on SpotHero's map view and encountered pricing that changed or included additional fees at checkout
  • You are a California resident or the transaction occurred in California
  • Your SpotHero account activity falls within the timeframe covered by the settlement (specific dates pending full settlement details)

How Much Can You Get?

Eligible class members may receive an automatic credit voucher applied to their SpotHero account — no claim filing required to get this. However, if you'd rather have a cash payment instead, you'll need to submit a claim form before August 25, 2026. The total settlement fund is $975,000, so individual payment amounts will depend on the number of valid claims submitted. Specific per-person cash amounts have not yet been publicly confirmed, so check the official settlement site for the latest payout details.

How to File Your Claim

Filing your claim is quick and easy:

  • Confirm you used SpotHero for parking bookings in California during the covered period
  • Decide whether you want a credit voucher (automatic, no action needed) or a cash payment (requires filing a claim)
  • If you want cash, locate your SpotHero account information and any booking history that may support your claim
  • Visit the official settlement website to complete and submit the claim form before August 25, 2026

What is the SpotHero drip pricing lawsuit about?

The lawsuit claimed that SpotHero showed artificially low parking prices on its map view, then added extra fees during checkout — a practice known as drip pricing. This type of pricing is considered deceptive under California consumer protection laws. SpotHero agreed to pay $975,000 to settle the claims, without admitting any wrongdoing.

Do I have to file a claim to get money from the SpotHero settlement?

It depends on what you want. If you're okay with a credit voucher for future SpotHero bookings, you may receive one automatically without filing anything. But if you want a cash payment, you will need to submit a claim form by August 25, 2026. Missing that deadline means you lose your right to a cash payout.

How much money will I get from the SpotHero settlement?

The total settlement fund is $975,000. Your individual share will depend on how many people file valid claims. Specific per-person cash amounts haven't been confirmed yet, so keep an eye on the official settlement website for updates as the deadline approaches.
