How Spotto NYC Works

Effortless parking coordination
in 3 simple steps.

Whether you are looking for a spot, leaving a curb, or operating a commercial garage, Spotto connects you with precision.

How to Claim & Park in a Peer Spot Hold

Skip the circling by routing directly to a departing neighbor.

1

Find a Spot on Live Radar

Open the Spotto map as you approach your destination. Green pulsing markers show departing drivers preparing to leave their street spaces.

2

Claim Hold & Send Status

Tap to coordinate a 5–30 minute handoff window. Send quick arrival pings ('2 min out', 'At the block') so the holding driver knows when to expect you.

3

Pull In & Confirm Handoff

Arrive, identify your neighbor's vehicle make/color, pull smoothly into the spot, and confirm the handoff — your confirmation releases your neighbor’s +100 Spotto Points reward and adds to your completed-handoff record.

Pro tip: Pro members see new spot broadcasts a full 5 minutes before free users — first dibs on the best departures.
