SpotHero

*Update: The $15 credit promo code may be expired, but you can still download the app through my referral link for a free $7 credit to put towards free parking!

Do you ever have trouble finding parking in Boston? Well, there’s an app called SpotHero that shows available parking garages and rates in the city and you can pay through your smartphone! Not all parking garages are the on the app, but it’s a great way to find an open spot quickly without worrying about having cash or not!

If you would like to save money at parking garages or get free parking in Boston, download the app and register though my referral link for a free $7 credit. Even better, new users can use promo code RAFSH15 for additional $15 credit which makes $20 to put towards Boston parking!

SpotHero is also a great backup plan to have if you can’t find street parking, and perfect if you have free credit on your phone! I downloaded the app a month ago with a different promotional offer, but I wanted to make sure I checked out the app before I shared another promo offer with you.

Overall, I found SpotHero pretty straight forward. There were directions on what to do for entering and exiting the garage and how to handle the ticket for the exit. Every garage is different, but at my garage I just needed to go to the parking office and show my confirmation number with my parking ticket to the attendant.

It was pretty a pretty easy process using SpotHero and it made for free parking thanks to the promo codes! Also, the parking attendants were familiar with SpotHero and I didn’t get any blank stares or confusion with the process, which was very nice.

Are you an ace at free Boston Parking and would never need it? Have you used SpotHero before?
