What this settlement is about

Galvez v. SpotHero alleges the parking app violated California's ban on drip pricing by showing spot prices in its Map View that left out the mandatory service fee until late in checkout. SpotHero agreed to provide $975,000 in cash and credits to settle. Compensation is tied to the average service fees each class member paid during the roughly eight-month class period, and claims can be filed online or by mail. The claim deadline is August 25, 2026, with a final approval hearing on September 18, 2026 in San Diego County.

Who is eligible

Anyone who booked at least one parking reservation in California through SpotHero's website or app between July 1, 2024 and March 13, 2025 while using the Map View search option, where the displayed price did not include the service fee.

File honestly. No proof is required to submit this claim, but the form is signed under penalty of perjury. Only file if you actually meet the eligibility rules above. Administrators audit and reject fraudulent claims, and mass bogus filings shrink payouts for real class members. More in our guide tono-proof settlements.

Estimated payout

Cash and/or credits sized to each member's average service fees paid; exact amounts vary.

No payment amount is ever guaranteed. Pro rata payouts shrink as more valid claims come in, and every payment waits on final court approval and any appeals.

Proof requirements

No documentation is required. You submit the claim form and attest to your eligibility; the administrator validates claims against available records.
