Edward Galvez v. SpotHero, Inc.

Case No. 26CU011741N

Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Diego

Settlement Overview

  • The Settlement resolves a lawsuit alleging that SpotHero, Inc. (“Defendant”) violated California law by not displaying the full price, including Defendant’s service fee, to reserve parking spots on its website and mobile application until near the end of the checkout process—which Plaintiff alleges constitutes unlawful drip pricing.
  • The two sides disagree on whether Plaintiff and the Settlement Class could have prevailed at trial. By entering into the Settlement, Defendant has not conceded the truth or validity of any of the claims against it and denies any liability or wrongdoing.
  • The Settlement Class includes all individuals who purchased at least one parking reservation through SpotHero’s website, www.spothero.com, or its mobile application between July 1, 2024, and March 13, 2025, while in California, and used the “Map View” option to search for the parking spot.
  • Defendant has agreed to pay Settlement Benefits (in the form of cash and/or credits), and other expenses, as described below, to fully resolve and release certain claims of all members of the Settlement Class.
  • Under the Settlement, Defendant has agreed to pay $975,000 in Settlement Benefits to the Settlement Class. These Settlement Benefits will be distributed to Settlement Class Members in the form of cash and/or credit. The amount of each Settlement Class Member’s Settlement Benefit will depend on the average of the service fees paid by each Settlement Class Member.
  • In addition to these Settlement Benefits, Defendant has also agreed to pay notice and administration costs estimated to be $55,000 and not to exceed $60,000, an incentive award of up to $5,000 to the Class Representative, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of up to $400,000, as approved by the Court. Payment of these costs and fees will not reduce the Settlement Benefits to Settlement Class Members described above.
